The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero when the air pushes up against its wings with a lift force of

5.20 kN. Assume that the only forces on the sailplane are that due to gravity and that due to the air pushing up against its wings. What will be the gravitational force on Earth due to the sailplane

Answer:

Explanation:

The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero , that means the sailplane is experiencing net force of zero in vertical direction . Its weight is acting in downward direction . So airplane is also experiencing an upward force equal to its weight  which is making net force equal to zero on it . This force is given as 5.20 k N .

So sailplane is experiencing an upward force equal to its weight . This force is generated due to air pushing up against its wings .

We know that every force generated has equal and opposite reaction force . Air is generating force on wings of sailplane , hence wings will also exert equal force on air on downward direction . This force will be transmitted to the earth by air .

Hence the gravitational force on Earth due to the sailplane will be equal to weight of sailplane . This force is 5.2 kN .

A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.
LenaWriter [7]
When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
