Answer:

30N in the direction the 45N acts.

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 + F2 (the vector sum of the forces)

Assigning a positive direction to the 45N force and a negative direction to the 15N force gives:

Fnet = 45 - 15

Fnet = 30N

Since the answer is positive, it is in the direction the 45N force acts.

Light of wavelength 550 nm comes into a thin slit and produces a diffraction pattern on a board 8.0 m away. The first minimum da

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light $\lambda =550nm=550\times 10^{-9}m$

Distance D = 8 m

Distance between first minimum dark fringe and the central maximum is 2 mm

So $x=3\times 10^{-3}m$

We have to find the width of the slit

For the first order wavelength is equal to $\lambda =\frac{x}{D}\times a$ , here a width of slit

So $a=\frac{\lambda D}{x}=\frac{550\times 10^{-9}\times 8}{3\times 10^{-3}}=1466.666\times 10^{-6}=1.47mm$

So width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

Density is the best property to use, as while multiple different metals could create cubes with the same color, mass, or volume, no different metal could create a cube with the same mass and volume. Density is based on mass and volume, and as a result no two different metals will have the same density.
