Answer:

0.66 degrees

Explanation:

The computation of the angle of the third dark interference is shown below:

The condition of the minima is

Path difference = (2n +1) × $\lambda$ ÷ 2

For third minima, n = 2

Now

xd ÷ D = (2 × 2 + 1) × $\lambda$ ÷ 2

d tan Q_3 = 5 $\lambda$ ÷ 2

tan Q_3 = 5 $\lambda$ ÷ 2d

Q_3 = tan^-1 × (5 $\lambda$ ÷2d)

= tan^-1 × (5 × 580 × 10^-9) ÷ (2 × 0.000125)

= 0.66 degrees

Answer:

a) $a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}$

b) $k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006$

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we can begin finding the period like this:

$T= \frac{1}{w} =\frac{1}{617 rad/s}=0.00162 s$

Then we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a= \frac{v^2}{r}$

And the velocity is given by:

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

If we replace this into the acceleration we got:

$a = \frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}= \frac{4 \pi^2 r}{T^2}$

And we can replace the values and we got:

$a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Part b

For this case we want to find a value of k such that:

$a= k 9.8$

Where a = 9.74, so then we can solve for k like this:

$k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006$

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w

myrzilka [38]

The centripetal acceleration is given by
$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, $a_c = 15.625 m/s^2$ and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
$v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s$
