Answer:

At some point on say, the receiving screen, light emanating from the left side of the slit will be out of phase (a difference of 1/2 wavelengths) from light coming from the center of the slit.

Thus for every point that is left of the center of the slit, there will be a point on the right side of the slit that is out of phase,

There will be no light on the screen at that particular point and thus there will be a dark fringe there.

That is the basic explanation for the appearance of dark and bright fringes on the receiving screen.

A block of aluminum at a temperature of T1 = 32 degrees C has a mass of m1 = 12 kg. It is brought into contact with another bloc

Mariulka [41]

Answer: $T=21.33 ^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of First Block $m_1=12 kg$

Temperature $T_1=32^{\circ}$

mass of second block $m_2=0.5 m_1=6 kg$

Temperature $T_2=9^{\circ}$

Heat capacity of aluminium c=899 J/kg-K

Final Temperature acquired by both blocks at steady state

Heat loss first block =Heat gain by second block

$m_1\times c\times (32-T)=m_2\times c\times (T-9)$

$12\times 899\times (32-T)=6\times 899\times (T-9)$

$2\times 32=3T$

$T=\frac{64}{3}=21.33 ^{\circ}$

Sam is pulling a box up to the second story of his apartment via a string. The box weighs 53.3 kg and starts from rest on the gr

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement it covers as a result of this force. It must be noted that the component of displacement in the direction of force should only be used. Hence, the work can be calculated as:

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Applied = 64 N

d = Distance Covered by Box = 19.1 m

θ = Angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,

W = (64 N)(19.1 m)Cos 0°

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0Ã—10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.
