Answer:

0.532

Explanation:

Your equation to find the second bright interference maximum is gonna be this: d sin (Θ) = m λ

First, find your variables.

λ = 580 · 10^-9

d = 0.000125

m = 2

Next, fill in the equation.

d sin (θ) = m λ

(0.000125) sin (θ) = (2) (580·10^-9)

Then isolate your variable.

θ = arcsin ( (2)(580·10^-9) / (0.000125) )

Run your equation and you will end up with 0.53171246 , which rounds to 0.532.

The main thing you have to watch out for is make sure you are calculating for the bright interference and not the dark interference, as well as checking you're calculating for the maximum, not the minimum.

I hope this helps :D

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the

nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

$\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}$

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

$\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

also,

$\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}$

$\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}$

$\eta=0.52$

Efficiency = 52%

What is the percent increase in the vapor pressure of water when the temperature increases by 1 °c from 14°c to 15°c.

Artemon [7]

The Vapor Pressure of water increases by 5.1%. when the temperature increases by 1 °c from 14°c to 15°c.

The vapor pressure of a liquid, sometimes referred to as the equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid, is the pressure of the vapor produced by the evaporation of a fluid (or solid) over a sample of the liquid (or solid) in such a closed container (or solid).

Vapor pressure is the term for the force that is produced as liquids evaporate. Three factors commonly have an effect on a vapor press: surface area, intermolecular forces, and temperature. The vapor pressures of molecules change with temperature.

The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D) Q/2

Explanation:

The relationship between charge Q, capacitance C and voltage drop V across a capacitor is

$Q=CV$ (1)

In the first part of the problem, we have that the charge stored on the capacitor is Q, when the voltage supplied is V. The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where $\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity, A is the area of the plates, d is the separation between the plates.

Later, the voltage of the battery is kept constant, V, while the separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled: $d'=2d$ . The capacitance becomes

$C'=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d'}=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{2d}=\frac{C}{2}$

And therefore, the new charge stored on the capacitor will be

$Q'=C'V=\frac{C}{2}V=\frac{Q}{2}$
