Answer:
False
Explanation:
The torque exerted by a force is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot
is the angle between the directions of F and d
We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have
However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have
and the torque produced by this force would be zero.
So, the statement is false.
Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor. Studies have shown that the oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers provide nearly 90 percent of the moisture in the atmosphere via evaporation, with the remaining 10 percent being contributed by plant transpiration.
When two tectonic plates move in opposite directions, it causes magma to rise, creating a new seafloor.
Answer:
λ = 8.716 mm
Explanation:
Given:
- d = 10 cm
- Q >= 5 degrees
Find:
- Find the shortest wavelength of light for which this apparatus is useful
Solution:
- The formula that relates the split difference and angle of separation between successive fringes is given by:
d*sin(Q) = n*λ
Where,
λ: wavelength
d: split separation
Q: angle of separation between successive fringes
m: order number.
- Since this apparatus only shows the first order light so m =1
- the shortest possible wavelength corresponds to:
d*sin(Q) = λ
λ = 0.1*sin(5)
λ = 8.716 mm
