A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li

ght from a He-Ne laser. Because the lecture hall is very large, the interference pattern will be projected on a wall that is 7.0 m from the slits. For easy viewing by all students in the class, the professor wants the distance between the m=0 and m=1 maxima to be 35 cm. What slit separation is required in order to produce the desired interference pattern?

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

The current supplied by a battery slowly decreases as the battery runs down. Suppose that the current as a function of time is:

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

A 10. g cube of copper at a temperature T1 is placed in an insulated cup containing 10. g of water at a temperature T2. If T1 &g

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a. The temperature of the copper changed more than the temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Because we're only considering the isolated system cube-water, the heat of the system should be constant, that implies the heat the cube loses is equal the heat the water gains (because by zero law of thermodynamics heat (Q) flows from hot body to cold body until reach thermal equilibrium and T1>T2). So:

$Q_{cube}=Q_{water}$ (1)

But Q is related with mass (m), specific heat (c) and changes in temperature ( $\varDelta T$ )in the next way:

$Q=cm\varDelta T$ (2)

Using (2) on (1):

$c_{cooper}*m_{cooper}*\varDelta T_{cooper}=c_{water}*m_{waterer}*\varDelta T_{water}$

$(10g)(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(10g)(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})$

$(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})$

Because we have an equality and 0.385 < 4.186 then $\varDelta T_{cooper}>\varDelta T_{waterer}$ to conserve the equality

You toss a rock of mass m vertically upward. Air resistance can be neglected. The rock reaches a maximum height h above your han

VladimirAG [237]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of rock=m

Maximum height=h

a.At maximum height, velocity,v=0

We know that

$v^2=u^2-2gh$

$0+2gh=u^2$

$u^2=2gh$

Height,h=h/4

Again, $v'^2=u^2-2g\times \frac{h}{4}$

$v'^2=2gh-\frac{gh}{2}=\frac{4gh-gh}{2}=\frac{3gh}{2}$

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{3gh}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 9.8 h}{2}}=3.83\sqrt h$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

b.When height,h=3h/4

$v'^2=u^2-2gh$

$v'^2=2gh-2g\times \frac{3h}{4}=2gh-\frac{3gh}{2}=\frac{4gh-3gh}{2}=\frac{gh}{2}$

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8h}{2}}=2.2\sqrt h$

$v'=2.2\sqrt h$

Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x axis and fields are in the y direction. (a) does an electric field exe

matrenka [14]

<span> (a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object?
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
</span> $F=qE$
<span>As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

</span><span>(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with charge q and speed v is
</span> $F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

<span>(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object?
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
</span> $F=qE$
<span>as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

</span><span>(d) does a magnetic field do so?
</span>Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

<span>(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(f) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
</span> $F=qE$
<span>So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

</span><span>(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
</span> $F=qvB \sin \theta$
<span>is different from zero because v is different from zero.</span>
