Answer:

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

Explanation:

The diffraction grid equation is as follows:

dsen\theta=m\lambda

Clearing for \theta

sen\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

where \theta is the angle, m is the order, in this case m=1, \lambda is the wavelength, and d is defined as follows:

d=\frac{1}{resolution}

and since the resolution is 750 lines/mm wich is the same as 750lines/1x10^{-3}m

d will be:

d=\frac{1}{750lines/1x10^{-3}m}=\frac{1x10^{-3}m}{750lines}=1.33x10^{-6}m

wich is the distance between each line of the diffraction grating.

substituting the values for m and d:

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(1)\lambda}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})

And we need to find two angle values: one for when the wavelength is 400nm and one for when it is 700 nm. So we will get the angle range

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(400x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=17.50

and

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(700x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=31.76

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

The free body diagram shows a box being pulled to the left up a 25-degree incline
Greeley [361]
The question is incomplete but still I answer to assume your thinking.
The picture is attached below!.
Here,
F is the force with which you pull up the incline.
N is the normal force.
w is the weight acting downward.
Axis are mentioned in the attached picture.
Concept:
You can see there is no movement of object in the y-direction that means acceleration is zero in y-direction, sum of all the forces in y-direction equal to zero.
According to newton second law,
<span>∑ F = ma
</span>As, acceleration is zero in y-direction, so right hand side is zero in the above equation.
<span>∑ F = 0</span>
N-wcosθ=0 
N= m*g*cos25°
N= m*(9.8)*(0.9063)
N= 8.8817*m
By putting the value of mass(m)(not given in the question) you will get the answer.
Hopefully, this is the answer of your question.

Let’s tie this all together. It makes sense that, if the rope force remains greater than the gravitational force, the child keep
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

If child weight is equal to rope force then child will move with uniform speed

or we can say that the child will remain at rest in his position

Explanation:

As we know that child is hanging by rope

so here there will be two forces on the child

1) Weight or gravitational force which act vertically downwards

2) Tension in the rope which act vertically upwards

Now if child will accelerate upwards then tension force must be more than the weight of the child

If tension force is less than the weight then child will decelerate and his speed will decrease

if tension force is equal to child weight then in that case the child will remain at rest or it will move with same speed

what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a p
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

6.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.

Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:

T = m₁a               (1)

m₂g - T = m₂a    (2)

substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:

m₂g - m₁a = m₂a

m₂a + m₁a = m₂g

a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g

a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)

a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²

Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²

How does a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten (magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks.
