Answer:

At one time the meter was defined as the distance between 2 lines on a platinum bar (meant to be 1 / 10,000,000) of distance between North Pole and equator)

Nowdays 1 meter = 1,553,163.5  wavelengths of Kr 86 (can be reproduced in any laboratory)

DedPeter [7]

Complete Question

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.

Required:

Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.  

Answer:

The diameter is  d =0.000336 m

Explanation:

     From the question we are told that

            The central maxima is D= 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m

            The distance from the window shade is L = 5m

     The  average wavelength of the  sun is mathematically evaluated as

                         \lambda_{ave } = \frac{\lambda_i  + \lambda_f}{2}

 Generally the visible light spectrum  has a wavelength  range  between  400 nm  to 700 nm  

        So  the initial wavelength of the sun is \lambda _i = 400nm

           and the final wavelength is  \lambda_f = 700nm

  Substituting this into the above equation

                 \lambda_{sun} = \frac{400nm  +700nm}{2}

                        = 550nm

The diameter is evaluated as

              d = \frac{2.44 \lambda_{sun} L}{D}

substituting values

              d = \frac{2.44 * 550*10^{-9} * 5 }{0.02}

                d =0.000336 m

A force of 350N is applied to a body. If the work done is 40kJ, what is the distance through which the body moved?
Studentka2010 [4]

The distance covered by the body is 114.3 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force exerted on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the object in this problem, we have

F = 350 N is the force applied

W=40 kJ = 40,000 J is the work done

\theta=0^{\circ} if we assume that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object

Solving for d, we find the distance covered by the object:

d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{40,000}{(350)(cos 0)}=114.3 m

kondor19780726 [428]
The kinetic energy of the tomato is : 

K.E =  1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newt
Firdavs [7]

Answer: A.E.

Explanation: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newton's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms"
