g The ant has traveled 10 cm horizontally and 6 cm vertically from its starting point on a twig with a slope of 0.5. If this is

the only information the ant has, what function best approximates the geometry of the twig at the point the ant is on? b) The ant can use its model of the environment to plan its movements. In particular, it wants its next step to take it no higher than 0.1 cm above its current location. How far can the ant travel horizontally and still accomplish this?

Answer:

a)  a right triangle,  b)   x = 0.167 m

Explanation:

a) It is asked to find which geometry figure describes the movement of the ant.

Let's use trigonometry with the angles measured in radians

             tan θ = y / x

             tan θ = 6/10  

             θ = tan⁻¹ 0.6

             θ = 0.54 rad

this value is equal to the upward slope therefore the geometric body that describes the movement is a right triangle

b) it is asked to find the horizontal displacement for a vertical displacement of y = 0.1 cm x = y / tan tea

            x = 0.1 / tan 0.54

            x = 0.1668 m

            x = 0.167 m

Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the
Scrat [10]

Answer: 1.8\°

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda (1)

Where:

d=3.4(10)^{-5}m is the width of the slit

\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength of the light  

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when n=2, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{2}:

sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d} (3)

Then:

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})   (4)

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})   (5)

Finally:

\theta_{2}=1.8\°   (6)

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m
