Why won’t two small sodium lamps, held close together, produce an interference pattern on a distant screen? What if the sodium l

amps were replaced by two laser pointers held close together?

Answer:

Two sodium lamp not produce visible interference but two lasers with sufficient thin opening may produce interference pattern.

Explanation:

Two sodium lamp light wave interfere on distant screen but cannot be seen because so many couples of waves are on that screen. Thus fringes of all of them become totally invisible.

Two thin laser pointers are good substitute for Youngs double slit experiment but in front of both laser beam you have to put thin slits to observe the fringes.

The gravitational field strength at a distance R from the center of moon is gR. The satellite is moved to a new circular orbit t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

Explanation:

Given:

  • gravitational field strength of moon at a distance R from its center, g__R
  • Distance of the satellite from the center of the moon, h=2R

<u>Now as we know that the value of gravity of any heavenly body is at height h is given as:</u>

g'=g__{R}} \times \frac{R^2}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

∴The gravitational field strength will become one-fourth of what it is at the surface of the moon.

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car 1, m_1=900\ kg

Initial speed of car 1, u_1=15i\ m/s (east)

Mass of the car 2, m_2=750\ kg

Initial speed of car 2, u_1=20j\ m/s (north)

(b) As the cars stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Let V is the common speed after the collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

900\times 15i +750\times 20j=(900+750)V

13500i+15000j=1650V

V=(8.18i+9.09j)\ m/s

The magnitude of speed,

|V|=\sqrt{8.18^2+9.09^2}

V = 12.22 m/s

(b) Let \theta is the direction the wreckage move just after the collision. It is given by :

tan\theta=\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta=\dfrac{9.09}{8.18}

\theta=48.01^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.
