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°

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}
\frac{1}{f} =  \frac{10}{33.18}
Product of extremes equals product of means:
10*f = 1*33.18
10f = 33.18
f =  \frac{33.18}{10}
\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

An object, experiencing no friction, keeps moving at a constant speed. What can we say about the net force on the object?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's look at a mathematical representation of this. The equation for tis is just a souped up version of Newton's 2nd Law:

F - f = ma. It an object is moving at a constant speed, the acceleration of that object is 0. That changes this equation to

F = f which states that the applied Force equals the frictional force, choice a.
