Answer:

Distance

Explanation:

Gravity is indirectly related to distance. This means if distance increases, gravitational pull decreases.

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where

m is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

$\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

$n=520 lines/mm$ is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

$d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m$

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

$y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m$

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)

TEA [102]

5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

ikadub [295]

(a) $-39.4^{\circ}$

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

$p_y =0$

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

$0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2$

where

m is the mass of each ball

$v_1= 4.60 m/s$ is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

$v_2 = 3.40 m/s$ is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

$\phi_1=28.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

$\phi_2$ is the angle of the second ball

Solving for $\phi_2$ , we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

$sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}$

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

$p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m$

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

$p_x = m u$

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

$u$ is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

$mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s$

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?

Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.
