the answer is a diffraction

bulgar [2K]2 years ago

Answer:

a) diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction occurs when waves pass through small openings, around obstacles or sharp edges.When an opaque object is between the point of light and a screen, the border between the shaded and illuminated regions on the screen is not defined. A careful inspection of the scrubber shows that a small amount of light is diverted to the shaded region. The region outside the shadow contains bright and dark altered bands, where the intensity of the first band is brighter than the region of uniform illumination.

A 5.0 kg cannonball is dropped from the top of a tower. It falls for 1.6 seconds before slamming into a sand pile at the base of
stepan [7]

Answer:

15.7 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cannonball is a accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (gravitational acceleration). Therefore, the velocity of the ball at time t is given by:

v(t)=u + gt

where

u = 0 is the initial velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time

If we substitute t=1.6 s into the equation, we find the final velocity of the cannonball:

v(1.6 s)=0+(9.8 m/s^2)(1.6 s)=15.7 m/s

Two roads intersect at right angles, one going north-south, the other east-west. an observer stands on the road 60 meters south
Sloan [31]

observer is standing at distance d = 60 m south from the intersection

cyclist is travelling at speed v = 10 m/s

now after t = 8 s its displacement from intersection is given by

x = 10*8 = 80 m

so the position of cyclist makes an angle with the observer

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{80}{60} = 53 degree

now the component of velocity of cyclist along the line joining its position with the observer is given as

v = v_o cos\phi

here

\phi = 90 -\theta

\phi = 90 - 53 = 37 degree

v = 10 cos37 = 8 m/s

so at this instant cyclist is moving away with speed 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

A wheel rotates without friction about a stationary horizontal axis at the center of the wheel. A constant tangential force equa
love history [14]

Answer:

I = 16 kg*m²

Explanation:

Newton's second law for rotation

τ = I * α   Formula  (1)

where:

τ : It is the moment applied to the body.  (Nxm)

I :  it is the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation (kg*m²)

α : It is angular acceleration. (rad/s²)

Kinematics of the wheel

Equation of circular motion uniformly accelerated :  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t  Formula (2)

Where:  

α : Angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω₀ : Initial angular speed ( rad/s)  

ωf : Final angular speed ( rad

t : time interval (rad)

Data  

ω₀ = 0

ωf = 1.2 rad/s

t = 2 s

Angular acceleration of the wheel  

We replace data in the formula (2):  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t

1.2= 0+ α*(2)

α*(2) = 1.2

α = 1.2 / 2

α = 0.6 rad/s²

Magnitude of the net torque (τ )

τ = F *R

Where:

F  = tangential force (N)

R  = radio (m)

τ = 80 N *0.12 m

τ = 9.6 N *m

Rotational inertia of the wheel

We replace data in the formula (1):

τ = I * α

9.6 = I *(0.6 )

I = 9.6 / (0.6 )

I = 16 kg*m²
