A tabletop two-slit interference experiment consists of a laser pointer shining through two narrow, closely spaced slits in an opaque barrier. The light from the slits produces a characteristic pattern of alternating bright and dark regions on a nearby wall. Listed are five ways to modify the parameters of the experiment. Match each modification according to the effect it would have on the spacing between the bright spots on the wall. In each case, assume that everything else is held constant.

a. Causes the spacing between the bright spots on the wall to increase.
b. Causes the spacing between the bright spots on the wall to decrease.
c. Has effed on the spacing between the bright spots on the wall.

1. increasing the distance d between the two slits in the barrier
2. increasing the brightness of the laser light
3. increasing the distance L from the slits to the wall
4. increasing the distance x from the laser to the slits
5. increasing the wavelength of the laser light

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a - 3, 5

b - 1

c - 2, 4

Explanation:

a). The distance between fringes on the screen

        [tex]$y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d}$[/tex]

where, λ is wavelength, m is order of pattern, L is distance between slit and screen, d is separation between slits.

Now we analyze that spacing between bright spots increases as increasing distance L from slits to wall and increasing the wavelength of the laser light, λ.

b). The spacing between the bright spots decreases as the distance between the two slits increases.

c). Has no effect on the spacing between the bright spots on the wall by increasing the distance from the laser to the slits as well as increasing the brightness of the laser.

A 2.0-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.8-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is 5.9 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.7 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant

Answers

Answer:

the total momentum of the system before collision is 6.94 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 1.8 kg

velocity of the first cart before collision, u₁ = 5.9 m/s

velocity of the second cart before collision, u₂ = -2.7 m/s

The total momentum of the system before collision is calculated as follows;

[tex]P_t = P_1 + P_2 \\\\P_t = m_1u_1 + m_2u_2\\\\P_t = (2\times 5.9) + (1.8 \times -2.7)\\\\P_t = 11.8 - 4.86\\\\P_t = 6.94 \ kgm/s[/tex]

Therefore, the total momentum of the system before collision is 6.94 kgm/s

(a) Calculate the period of the motion. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the motion. Hz (c) Calculate the amplitude of the motion. cm

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Point of zero velocity are extreme points situated on either side of equilibrium position .

a )

Time taken to travel between these two points is .15 s

time for half the oscillation = .15 s

Time for full one oscillation = .30 s .

Time period of oscillation = .30 s

b)

frequency = 1 / time period

= 1 / .30s = 3.33 oscillation per second.

c )

Distance between these two point is equal to two times amplitude

2 x amplitude = 30 cm

amplitude = 15 cm

A:#1 North American Plate

B:#3 South American Plate

C:#5 Eurasian Plate

D:#2 African Plate

Answers

Answer:

D:#2 African Plate

Explanation:

The African Plate is flanked by the Red sea rift and the minor African plate.

The Red sea rift is a small part of a greater line of rifts known as the Great African Rift Valley. The rift valley is making several small lakes all through Africa and it will eventually split up the African continent.

The Red sea lift is the divergent boundary between the African plate and the Arabian plate. It means that the two plates are moving apart or spreading apart.

An object, with mass 64 kg and speed 14 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 2 times as massive as the other; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame

Answers

Answer:

 K_f = 1881.6 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's start by finding the velocities of the bodies.

We define a system formed by the initial object and its parts, with this the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before the explosion

        p₀ = M v₀

final instant. After the explosion

        p_f = m₁ v + m₂ 0

the moeoto is preserved

         p₀ = p_f

         M v₀ = m₁ v

         v = [tex]\frac{m_1}{M}[/tex]  v₀

in the exercise they indicate that the most massive part has twice the other part

         M = m₁ + m₂

         M = 2m₂ + m₂ = 3 m₂

         m₂ = M / 3

so the most massive part is worth

        m₁ = 2 M / 3

we substitute

        v = ⅔ v₀

with the speed of each element we can look for the kinetic energy

initial

         K₀ = ½ M v₀²

Final

         K_f = ½ m₁ v² + 0

         K_f = ½ (⅔ M) (⅔ v₀)²

         K_f = [tex]\frac{8}{27}[/tex] (½ M v₀²)

         K_f = [tex]\frac{8}{27}[/tex]  K₀

the energy added to the system is

         ΔK = Kf -K₀

         ΔK = (8/27 - 1) K₀

         ΔK = -0.7 K₀

         K_f = K₀ + ΔK

         K_f = K₀ (1 -0.7)

         K_f = 0.3 K₀

let's calculate

         K_f = 0.3 (½ 64 14²)

         K_f = 1881.6 J

A water balloon weighing 4.5 N rests on a table. The balloon has an area of 2.6 x 10-3
m² in contact with the table. What pressure does the balloon exert on the table?

Answers

Answer:

the pressure the balloon exerts on the table is 1,730.77 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the water balloon, F = 4.5 N

area of the balloon, A = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m²

The pressure the balloon exerts on the table is calculated as follows;

[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

substitute the given values and solve for pressure, P;

[tex]P = \frac{4.5}{2.6 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\P = 1,730.77 \ N/m^2[/tex]

Therefore, the pressure the balloon exerts on the table is 1,730.77 N/m²

a sprinter accelerates from rest to 14m/s in 1.38 s. what is her acceleration in km/h^2

Answers

The acceleration of the sprinter is approximately 131,426 km/h^2.

To find the acceleration in km/h^2, we need to convert the units from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h) and adjust the time units accordingly. Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1. Convert the final velocity from m/s to km/h:

  14 m/s * (3.6 km/h) / (1 m/s) = 50.4 km/h

2. Convert the time from seconds (s) to hours (h):

  1.38 s * (1 h) / (3600 s) = 0.0003833 h

3. Calculate the acceleration using the formula:

  Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time

Since the initial velocity is 0 m/s (rest), we have:

Acceleration = (50.4 km/h - 0 km/h) / 0.0003833 h

Acceleration = 131425.955 km/h^2

force from a -0.00707 C charge. How
far apart are they?
[?] m

Answers

Answer:

r = 14.13 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q₁ = +0.0129 C

Charge 2, q₂ = -0.00707 C

The force between charges, F = 4110 N

We need to find the distance between charges. The formula for the force between charges is given by :

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where

r is the distance between charges

So,

[tex]r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{F}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 0.0129 \times 0.00707 }{4110 }} \\\\r=14.13\ m[/tex]

So, the distance between charges is equal to 14.13 m.

What is the force between two 1.0 X 10^-5 C charges separated by 2.0 m?

Answers

According to Coulomb's law, the force between the given charges is 0.225N which is explained below.

Coulomb's Law:

Force on two identical charges q separate by a distance of r is given by:

F = kq²/r²

where k is Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the separation between the charges

Given that q = 1×10⁻⁵C,

and r = 2m

So, the force between the given charges will be:

F = (9×10⁹)(1×10⁻⁵)²/2²

F = 0.225N is the required force.
