Answer:

14.9 mm

Explanation:

We know dsinθ = mλ where d = separating of slit, m = order of maximum = 3 and λ = wavelength = 510nm = 510 × 10⁻⁹ m

Also tanθ = L/D where L = distance of m order fringe from central bright spot = 17 mm = 0.017 m and D = distance of screen from slit = 1.6 m

So, sinθ = mλ/d

Since θ is small, sinθ ≅ tanθ

So,

mλ/d = L/D

d = mλD/L

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

d = 3 × 510 × 10⁻⁹ m × 1.6 m/0.017 m

d = 2448 × 10⁻⁹ m²/0.017 m

d = 144000 × 10⁻⁹ m

d = 1.44 × 10⁻⁴ m

d = 0.144 × 10⁻³ m

d = 0.144 mm

Now, for the second-order maximum, m' of the 670 nm wavelength of light,

m'λ'/d = L'/D where m' = order of maximum = 2, λ' = wavelength of light = 670 nm = 670 × 10⁻⁹ m, d = slit separation = 0.144 mm = 0.144 × 10⁻³ m, L' = distance of second order maximum from central bright spot and D = distance of screen from slit = 1.6m

So, L' = m'λ'D/d

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L' = 2 × 670 × 10⁻⁹ m × 1.6 m/0.144 × 10⁻³ m

L' = 2144  × 10⁻⁹ m²/0.144 × 10⁻³ m

L' = 14888.89 × 10⁻⁶ m

L' = 0.01488 m

L' ≅ 0.0149 m

L' = 14.9 mm

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.453 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the handle has diameter of 0.4 m while inner part diameter is 0.1 m then the circumference of outer part is \pi d_h where d is diameter and subscript h denote handle. By substituting 0.4 for the handle's diameter then cirxumference of outer part is \pi\times 0.4\approx 1.256 m

The rate of rotation will then be 1.81/1.256=1.441 rev/s

Similarly, circumference of inner part will be \pi d_i where subscript i represent inner. Substituting 0.1 for inner diameter then

\pi\times 0.1\approx 0.3142 m

The rate of rotation found for outer handle applies for inner hence speed will be 0.3142*1.441=0.453 m/s

Snowboarder Jump—Energy and Momentum
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

THE ANSWER TERMS ARE DEFINED BLOW:-

Explanation:

MOMENTUM- IT IS THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DEVELOP CONSTANT FORCE.

KINETIC ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PRTICLE POSSES WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY IN MOTION.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PARTICLE POSSES WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS IN RESTING STATE.

IN THIS ACIVITY THE SNOWBOARDER IS IN THE MOTION STATE THEREFORE HE POSSES KINETIC ENERGY AND TO MAINTAIN THAT KINEITC ENERG FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,MOMENTUM PLAYS IT'S ROLE.

Explain the role of energy in changes <br> of state.
slava [35]
A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point.  Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.
