Answer:
Explanation:
For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by
where
is the wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
d is the width of the slit
In this problem, we have
is the wavelength of the red light
D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway
d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway
Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):
At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle. Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.
The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater than it was when he put the cap on. If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.
The water is pretty much unsquishable.
Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>. The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.
Solar it is the cheapest and widely used energy source
D is the wrong answer. New information does often completely change the theory. Its hard to change something and leave the major theory intact.
The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
= (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)
= (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)
= 2.25 joules.
Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy is never created or destroyed.
If it seems that some energy disappeared,
it actually had to go somewhere.
And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
it actually had to come from somewhere.
The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
