Answer:

c : it wil be cut in half.

The pattern is formed on a distant screen so we can use the Fraunhofer difracction for a single slit. The formula of the width of the central bright spot is given by Δx = (2λz)/a, where λ is the wavelength and a is the width of the slit. So if the inicial width (a_1) is doubled (a_2= 2 x a_1),the width of the central spot will be cut in half Δx = (2λz)/a_2 = (2λz)/2xa_1 .

A tank contains 100 gal of water and 50 oz of salt.water containing a salt concentration of 1 4 (1 1 2 sin t) oz/gal flows into
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heres the possible full question and solution:

A tank contains 100 gal of water and 50 oz of salt. Water containing a salt concentration of ¼ (1 + ½ sin t) oz/gal flows ito the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture in the tank flows out at the same rate.

a. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time.

b. Plot the solution for a time period long enough so that you see the ultimate behavior of the graph.

c. The long-time behavior of the solution is an oscillation about a certain constant level. What is this level? What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

solution

a)

Consider the tank contains 100gal of water and 50 oz of salt

Assume that the amount of salt in the tank at time t is Q(t).

Then, the rate of change of salt in the tank is given by \frac{dQ}{dt}.

Here, \frac{dQ}{dt}=rate of liquid flowing in the tank - rate of liquid flowing out.

Therefore,

Rate_{in} =2gal/min \times \frac{1}{4} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/gal\\\\\\ \frac{1}{2} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/min\\\\\\Rate_{out}=2gal/min \times\frac{Q}{100}oz/gal\\\\\frac{Q}{50}oz/min

Therefore,

\frac{dQ}{dt} can be evaluated as shown below:

\frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\frac{1}{2}\sin t)-\frac{Q}{50}\\\\\\\frac{dQ}{dt}+\frac{1}{50}Q=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t

The above differential equation is in standard form:

\frac{dy}{dt}+Py=G

Here, P=\frac{1}{50},G=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t

The integrating factor is as follows:

\mu(t)=e^{\int {P}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\int {\frac{1}{50}}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}

Thus, the integrating factor is  \mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}

Therefore, the general solution is as follows:

y\mu(t)=\int {\mu (t)G}dt\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t) dt}\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\frac{1}{2}\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}dt + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}\\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 {e^{\frac{t}{50}} + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}+C...(1)

Here, C is arbitrary constant of integration.

Solve \int {\sin te^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}

Here u = e^{\frac{t}{50}} and v =\sin t.

Substitute u , v in the below formula:

\int{u,v}dt=u\int{v}dt-\int\frac{du}{dt}\int{v}dt\dot dt\\\\\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}dt...(2)

Now, take u = e^{\frac{t}{50}}, v =\sin t

Therefore, \int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t} dt=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt - \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt...(3)

Use (3) in equation(2)

\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t - \frac{1}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt\\\\\frac{2501}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt={e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t\\\\\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=\frac{2500}{2501}{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{50}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t...(4)

Use (4) in equation(l) .

Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+C

Apply the initial conditions t =0, Q = 50.

50=25-\frac{625}{2501}+c\\\\c=\frac{63150}{2501}

So, Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}

Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank at any time is as follows:

Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}e^{\frac{-t}{50}}

b)

sketch the solution curve as shown in attachment as graph 1:

Zoe has 25 grams of water (c = 4.186 ) at 10°C, which she mixes with 12 grams of water at 30°C. Assume that no heat is lost to t
fenix001 [56]
Since heat here is conserved that means that the heat out is equal to the heat in. We use the expression Q = mC(T2-T1). We caclulate as follows:

Q absorbed = Q released
m1 C (T-T1) = -m2 C (T-T1)

C can be cancelled since they are the same substance.

m1 (T-T1) = -m2 (T-T1)
25 (T-10) = -12 (T-30)
T = 16.49 degrees Celsius

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

Which actions most likely cause the domains in a ferromagnetic material to align?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A ferromagnetic material is a temporary magnet. The domains in a ferromagnetic material are randomly arranged. Under certain actions, the domains align in a particular direction and the material acts as a magnet. The actions that can cause alignment of domains in a ferromagnetic material are:

  • rubbing the material against a magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the same direction as of the magnet.
  • passing electricity around the material would generate magnetic field which would cause domains to align along the direction of the field.
  • placing the material near a strong magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the direction of the field generated by the strong magnet.

Other actions like heating the material,  placing the material in a magnetic field of opposite polarity and hitting the material would lead to demagnetization of the magnetic material.

Barker is unloading 20kg bottles of water from this delivery truck when one of the bottles tips over and slides down the truck r
Degger [83]
<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>
