Explain diffraction at a single slit (light)

Physics
1 answer:
Leto [7]1 year ago
4 0

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.

Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp.
Irina-Kira [14]
F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

So the car’s mass affects the amount of force, changing how it would roll down a ramp, I think.

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl
Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon m_1 and the mass of the basket m_2, then according to newton's second law:

(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a,

where a =0.265m/s^2 is the upward acceleration, and F = 688N is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension T in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8

and this tension must equal

T -m_2g =m_2a

(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

m_2a = 79.8

since a =0.265m/s^2, we have

\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of F and a, we get:

688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)

\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is  2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.
