A pair of slits, separated by 0.150 mm, is illuminated by light having a wavelength of λ = 643 nm. An interference pattern is ob

served on a screen 140 cm from the slits. Consider a point on the screen located at y = 1.80 cm from the central maximum of this pattern. What is the path difference δ for the two slits at the location y?

Answer:

0.006 m

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 0.150 mm = 0.150 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of the light = 643 nm = 643 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = distance of the screen where interference pattern is observed = 140 cm = 1.40 m

δ = Path difference

Path difference is given as

δ = Dλ/d

δ = (1.40) (643 x 10⁻⁹)/(0.150 x 10⁻³)

δ = 0.006 m

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)

Which of the following best describes an action-reaction pair? A. The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon. B.
Papessa [141]
An action-reaction pair would be a pair in which one of the elements exerts a force on the other element (action), and then the other element would respond to this force by exerting another force in the opposite direction (reaction).

From the given choices, we will see that:
For choice A, the moon exerts a force on the earth by pulling it (action) and the earth responds to this force by pulling the moon (reaction in opposite direction of the action).

Therefore, the correct choice would be: 
A. <span>The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon.</span>

A 25kg child sits on one end of a 2m see saw. How far from the pivot point should a rock of 50kg be placed on the other side of
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

a rock of 50kg should be placed =drock=0.5m from the pivot point of see saw

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

Use the equation for torque in this equation.

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The force of each object will be equal to the force of gravity.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

Gravity can be canceled from each side of the equation. for simplicity.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now we can use the mass of the rock and the mass of the child. The total length of the seesaw is two meters, and the child sits at one end. The child's distance from the center of the seesaw will be one meter.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance between the rock and the center of the seesaw.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

slader A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of
Ivan

Answer: 800N

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of ball =0.8kg

Contact time = 0.05 sec

Final velocity = initial velocity = 25m/s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is can be calculated using the relation;

Force(F) = mass(m) * average acceleration(a)

a= (initial velocity(u) + final velocity(v))/t

m = 0.8kg

u = v = 25m/s

t = contact time of the ball = 0.05s

Therefore,

a = (25 + 25) ÷ 0.05 = 1000m/s^2

Therefore,

Magnitude of average force (F)

F=ma

m = mass of ball = 0.8

a = 1000m/s^2

F = 0.8 * 1000

F = 800N
