Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7

maxonik [38]

First, let's find the speed $v_i$ of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
$p_i = m_1 v_1$
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass $m_1 +m_2$ and they are moving with speed $v_i$ :
$p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i$
For conservation of momentum
$p_i=p_f$
So we can write
$m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i$
From which we find
$v_i = \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s$

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force $\mu (m_1+m_2)g$ . The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
$\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2$
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
$\mu = \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49$

Determine the sign (+ or −) of the torque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps, the sign of the weight of the forearm,

Alex Ar [27]

Ans:
1. τbiceps = +(Positive)
2. τforearm = -(Negative)
3. τball = -(Negative)

Explanation:

The figure is attached down below.

1. T<span>orque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
</span>Where r is the vector from elbow to the biceps.
<span>
We can see in the figure that F(biceps) is in upward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the counterclockwise direction. The torque in counterclockwise direction is positive(+). Therefore, the sign would be +.

2. </span>Torque about the the weight of the forearm, τforearm:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the forearm.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(forearm) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

3. Torque about the the weight of the ball, τball:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the ball.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(ball) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Len [333]

The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases.

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each

g100num [7]

Answer:

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.
