Bicyclist initial kinetic energy is Ek=(1/2)*m*v² where m is his mass and v is his speed and that is equal to:

Ek=(1/2)*60*2²=120 J.

When we add the increased work output, we get the total kinetic energy:

Ek(total)=Ek+W= 120 J + 1800 J= 1920 J

So Ek(total)=1920 J = (1/2)*m*V² where V is the speed after the bicyclist increased his work output. So lets solve for V:

(1/2)*60*V²=1920

30*V²=1920, we divide by 30,

V²=64, and take the square root of both sides,

V=8 m/s.

So the speed of the bicyclist after the increased work output is V=8 m/s.

a film of transparent material 120 nm thick and having refractive index 1.25 is placed on a glass sheet having refractive index

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) 600nm

b) 300nm

Explanation:

the path difference = 2t

t = thickness of the film

L' = wavelength of light in film = L/n

L = wavength of light in air

n = refractive index of glass

(a)

for destructive interference 2t = L'/2 = L/2n

L = 4*t*n

= 4*120*10^-9*1.25

L = 600 nm

(b)

for constructive interference 2t = L' = L/1.25

L = 2tn

= 2 × 1.25 × 120nm

= 300 nm

babunello [35]

Answer:

0.00001266 m

Explanation:

D = Distance from source to screen

m = Order

d = Slit separation

The distance from a point on the screen to the center line

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

At m = 0

$y_0=0$

$y_1-y_0=35\ cm\\\Rightarrow y_1=35\ cm$

At m = 1

$y_1=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00001266\ m$

The slit separation is 0.00001266 m

ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

A square of frequency of consists of the infinite sum of sine waves, whose frequencies are the odd multiples of the main frequency f i.e f, 3f,5f, 7f, ... . Given that the range of frequencies, to which the system responds is 20-40 kHz, for a square wave of frequency 10kHz we need to look for the harmonics whose frequencies are in the systems' respond range, which are the harmonics of 20, 30 and 40 kHz
