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

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

$\nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})$

= $(30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))$

= 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

y = $200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$

= $\frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}$

= 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

$a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}$

= $\frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}$

= 0.1822 $m/s^{2}$

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

a = $\sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}$

= $0.309 m/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is $0.309 m/s^{2}$ .

What is one characteristic of the convection inside the sun?

andrew11 [14]

Answer: 3- Large cells of rising and sinking gasses

Explanation: Hotter gas coming from the radiative zone expands and rises through the convective zone. It can do this because the convective zone is cooler than the radiative zone and therefore less dense. As the gas rises, it cools and begins to sink again. As it falls down to the top of the radiative zone, it heats up and starts to rise. This process repeats, creating convection currents and the visual effect of boiling on the Sun's surface.
