Answer:

X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm

Explanation:

The relationship between the motion of the moveable mirror and the fringe count of the Michelson's Interferometer is given by the following formula:

d = mλ/2

where,

d = distance moved by the mirror = X = ?

m = No. of Fringes counted = 246

λ = wavelength of light entering interferometer = 562 nm = 5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

X = (246)(5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m)/2

Therefore,

<u>X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm</u>

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
34kurt

Answer:

The friction force and the x component for the weight should be the reaction forces that are opposite and equal to the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.  

Explanation:

<u>When the locomotive starts to pull the train up, appears two reaction forces opposed to the action force in the direction of the move. </u>

The first one is due to the friction between the wheels and the ground, it will be the friction force (Fr):

Fr = μ*Pₓ =μmg*sin(φ)        

<em>where μ: friction dynamic coefficient, Pₓ: is the weight component in the x-axis, m: total mass = train's mass + locomotive's mass, g: gravity, and sin(φ): is the angle respect to the x-axis.</em>              

And the second one is the x component for the weight (Wₓ):

Wₓ = mg*cos(φ)  

<em>where cos(φ): is the angle respect to the y-axis.    </em>

<em> </em>

These two forces should be the same as the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.

How do greenhouse gasses and fossil fuse have an impact on the earth?
Citrus2011 [14]
Greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up. Using fossil fuels results in a rise of greenhouse gases.

Len [333]

Answer: 438.3 mph

Explanation:

Let z be the distance from the plane to the station. You should draw a right triangle

for the diagram with z on the hypotenuse, 1 on the vertical side, and x on the horizontal

side. The 1 never changes, but x changes with time.

Find the attached file for the solution.
