Since you are looking at a right fringe, the answer is all the time a multiple of the wavelength for the reason that the light makes constructive intrusion. If you are looking at the center (zeroth) fringe, the difference is (450)(0) = 0. For the first maximum, the difference is 450 nm. For the second, it is 450 x 2 = 900 nm. Basically, for the nth maxima, the difference is 450n.

In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land
sattari [20]

Answer:

a) Impulse |J|= 219.4 kgm/s

b) Force F = 2672 N

Explanation:

Given

Height of fall h = 0.50 m

Mass M = 70 kg

Period of collision t = 0.082 s

Solution

The final velocity of the person v is zero since the person will come to rest.

The initial velocity of the person can be calculated by using the "law of conservation of energy".

Initial Kinetic energy = Final potential energy

\frac{1}{2} mu^2=mgh\\\\u = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\u = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.50} \\\\u = 3.13 m/s

a) Impulse

J = final momentum - initial momentum

J = mv -mu\\\\J = 0 - (70 \times 3.13)\\\\J = -219.2 kgm/s

Magnitude of impulse

|J| = 219.1 kgm/s

b) Force

F = \frac{J}{t} \\\\F = \frac{219.1}{0.082} \\\\F = 2672 N

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.5 m. The seats begin from rest and are unifo
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = \frac{wf}{t} = \frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²

Ice fishermen sit on top of frozen lakes in the winter and catch fish in the liquid water below through holes cut in the ice she
melomori [17]

Answer:

This is because below 4°c, water unlike other materials becomes less dense when it's temperature is further lowered.

Explanation:

Due to the unusual nature of water; at about 4°c, the behavior of the density of water in relation to its temperature reverses. This means that water becomes less dense as it becomes colder below 4°c. The colder parts therefore floats to the top of the water body while the warmer part sinks allowing the top to freeze and the remaining body below to remain in its liquid state.

The freezing of the top of the lake alone protects the remaining depth of water from freezing by acting as an insulator and preventing further heat loss from the water to the ambient space. If this had not been the case, and water froze all through, marine lives will freeze to death and it will be more difficult to melt the ice come the next summer.

This behavior is due to the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules.

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m
