Answer:

1.1x10^-2N

Explanation:

We have the change in momentum as

P = 0.3(4.5+12)g.mph

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3

Then the force that is exerted will be

F = p/∆t

∆t = 0.2

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3/0.2

= 0.1341x16.5x10^-3/0.2

= 1.1x10^-2

Therefore the force that was exerted is equal to 1.1x10^-2

An x-ray beam of wavelength 1.4×10−10m makes an angle of 20° with a set of planes in a crystal(the Bragg angle)causing first ord
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second order line appears at 43.33° Bragg angle.

Explanation:

When there is a scattering of x- rays from the crystal lattice and interference occurs, this is known as Bragg's law.

The Bragg's diffraction equation is :

n\lambda=2d\sin\theta      .....(1)

Here n is order of constructive interference, λ is wavelength of x-ray beam, d is the inter spacing distance of lattice and θ is the Bragg's angle or scattering angle.

Given :

Wavelength, λ = 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Bragg's angle, θ = 20°

Order of constructive interference, n =1

Substitute these value in equation (1).

1\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2d\sin20

d = 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

For second order constructive interference, let the Bragg's angle be θ₁.

Substitute 2 for n, 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for d and 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for λ in equation (1).

2\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2\times2.04\times10^{-10} \sin\theta_{1}

\sin\theta_{1} =0.68

<em>θ₁ </em>= 43.33°

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
