Answer:

We can float in space.

Explanation:

We can float in space because of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts anything towards the centre of earth. We can stand, walk because of gravity. Even if we jump, we return to the ground because of gravity. In space, there is no gravity. That's why, we can't walk in space and everything floats there.

Answer:

We float in space because there is very little gravitational force acting on them. Gravity is a force that is caused by the attraction of objects with mass. ... In space, you are very far from Earth's center of gravity (other planets have gravity as well), so it doesn't pull very hard, and we basically float around.

Assuming no friction form air, how far will a dropped rock fall in 10 seconds

serious [3.7K]

<u>Given that</u>

time (t) = 10 s ,

(S) = ?

We know that S = ut+ 1/2 a.t² m

since free fall and no air friction,

a = g = 9.81 m/s² ; initial velocity u= 0

S = 0 + [1/2 × 9.81 ×10²]

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

kogti [31]

Answer:

a) $y_{first}=5.3mm$

b) $y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

Explanation:

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$ when m is a natural number.

here:

m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)
D is the distance from the slit to the screen
a is the slit wide
λ is the wavelength

So we have:

$y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{first}=5.3mm$

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

$y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{2}=10.6 mm$

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

$y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

I hope it heps you!

How does 1 horsepower compare to 1 watt power

yaroslaw [1]

"Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.” - John Piper
