Answer:

A thin layer of oil with index of refraction ng = 1.47 is floating above the water. The index of refraction of water is nw = 1.3. The index of refraction of air is na= 1. A light with wavelength λ = 775 nm goes in from the air to oil and water.

 Part (a) Express the wavelength of the light in the oil,  λ₀, in terms of  λ  and n⁰ (b) Express the minimum thickness of the film that will result in destructive interference, t min, in terms of  λ o

(c) Express tmin in terms of  λ  and no.

(d) Solve for the numerical value of tmin in nm.

Explanation:

n₀ = 1.47

refraction of water = 1.3

refraction of air = 1

wavelength λ = 775 nm

(a) wavelength of light in water ⇒  λ₀ = λ / n₀

(b) minimum thickness of the film that will result in destructive interference

t(min) = λ₀ / 2

(c) the express t(min)

t =  λ /2n₀

(d) the thickness is

t = 775 / 2(1.47)

= 263.61 nm

In the lab setup above, block 1 is being pulled across a smooth surface by a light string connected across a pulley to a falling
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

As block 1 moves from point A to point B, the work done by gravity on block 2 is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the two-block system.

Explanation:

As block 2 goes down , work is done by gravity on block 2 . This is converted

into kinetic energy of block 1 and block 2 . Work done by gravity is mgh which can be measured easily . kinetic energy of both the blocks can also be measured.

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy is zero.

The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Explanation:

The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.

Let's now analyze the different statements:

The spring constant is zero.  --> false. The spring constant is never zero.

The elastic potential energy is at a maximum  --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.

The elastic potential energy is zero.  --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).

The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num  --> false, for what we said above

The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 cans, 0.355 - l each,
Alona [7]
Flow rate = 220*0.355 l/m = 78.1 l/min = 1.3 l/s = 0.0013 m^3/s

Point 2:
A2= 8 cm^2 = 0.0008 m^2
V2 = Flow rate/A2 = 0.0013/0.0008 = 1.625 m/s
P1 = 152 kPa = 152000 Pa

Point 1:
A1 = 2 cm^2 = 0.0002 m^2
V1 = Flow rate/A1 = 0.0013/0.0002 = 6.5 m/s
P1 = ?
Height = 1.35 m

Applying Bernoulli principle;
P2+1/2*V2^2/density = P1+1/2*V1^2/density +density*gravitational acceleration*height
=>152000+0.5*1.625^2*1000=P1+0.5*6.5^2*1000+1000*9.81*1.35
=> 153320.31 = P1 + 34368.5
=> P1 = 1533210.31-34368.5 = 118951.81 Pa = 118.95 kPa
