An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition with two tiny slits separated by 0.180 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 5.30 m from the slit pair. The instructor's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.60 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm) ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the formula provided by Young's Double Slit experiment:

[tex]\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta xd}{L}[/tex]

where,

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Δx = distance between adjacent bright fringes = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

d = slit separation = 0.18 mm = 0.00018 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 5.3 m

Therefore,

[tex]\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.00018\ m)}{5.3\ m}[/tex]

λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm

b) If this collision occurs during a time of 0.012 seconds, what is the average force exerted by the bat on the ball?

Answers

Answer:

(a) The change in momentum is 12.04 kg-m/s

(b) The force exerted by the bat is 1003.33 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 0.14 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 40 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -46 m/s

(a) The change in momentum of the ball during the collision with the bat is given by :

[tex]\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\=0.14(-46-40)\\\\=-12.04\ kg-m/s[/tex]

One of the smallest planes ever flown was the Bumble Bee II, which had a mass of 180 kg. If the pilot’s mass was 70 kg, what was the velocity of both plane and pilot if their momentum was 20,800 kg∙m/s to the west?

Answers

Answer:

83.2 m/s to the West

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of plane = 180 Kg

Mass of pilot = 70 Kg

Momentum = 20800 Kg∙m/s West

Velocity =?

Next, we shall determine the total mass. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of plane = 180 Kg

Mass of pilot = 70 Kg

Total mass =?

Total mass = Mass of plane + Mass of pilot

Total mass = 180 + 70

Total mass = 250 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the velocity. This can be obtained as follow:

Total mass = 250 Kg

Momentum = 20800 Kg∙m/s West

Velocity =?

Momentum = mass × Velocity

20800 = 250 × Velocity

Divide both side by 250

Velocity = 20800 / 250

Velocity = 83.2 m/s West

Thus, the velocity of both plane and pilot is 83.2 m/s to the West

it takes 840s to walk completely around a circular track, moving at a speed of 1.20m/s? what is the radius of the track?

Answers

Answer:

160.43 meters

Explanation:

T=(2*pi*r)/v

840=(2*pi*r)/1.2

1008=2*pi*r

504=pi*r

160.43=radius

The distance around the circular track is equal to its circumference. If it takes840 s  to complete the path with a velocity of 1.20 m/s then the radius of the path will be 160 m.

What is velocity?

Velocity is a physical quantity measuring the distance traveled by unit time. It is a vector quantity thus, characterized by its magnitude and direction. Velocity is usually expressed in m/s.

Velocity is the ratio of distance to the time taken to complete the travel. Thus, greater distance within short time indicates greater velocity.

Given that the time take to complete the circular path = 840 s

velocity = 1.20 m/s

distance = circumference of the circular path = 2πr.

distance = time × velocity

2πr = 840 s × 1.20 m/s

      = 1008 m.

Therefore, the radius r of the circular path  = 1008 m/ 2 π = 160 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path 160 m.

During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of 39.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 6.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]m_1[/tex] = Mass of cannon ball = 39 kg

[tex]m_2[/tex] = Mass of performer = 65 kg

[tex]u_1[/tex] = Initial horizontal component of cannon ball's velocity = 6.5 m/s

[tex]u_2[/tex] = Initial horizontal component of performer's velocity = 0

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum of the system is conserved we have

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{39\times 6.5+0}{39+65}\\\Rightarrow v=2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

The speed of the performer immediately after catching the cannon ball is [tex]2.4375\ \text{m/s}[/tex].

You are driving your car on a very cold late Fall day. You clear a turn and see a couple of pedestrians standing at the cross walk. They are eager to cross the road and to get into the warmth of their apartment as soon as possible. You have two options: continue driving your car as you were without lowering your speed and drive right by the pedestrians OR slow down, stop right at the crosswalk, and yield to the pedestrians. Although by Virginia law the choice is clear, what about Physics laws? Which scenario (passing by or slowing down and stopping at the crosswalk to yield) will minimize the time the pedestrians are out in the cold freezing before they can cross the road?
Make the following assumptions in your argument. Before you noticed the pedestrians, you are moving with a constant velocity v=22 miles/hour. The distance at which you noticed the pedestrians is D=23 meters. Write down a symbolic expression for the amount of time, tpass , the pedestrians will have to wait till they cross the road if you simply drive by without slowing down or speeding up.
Write down a symbolic expression for the amount of time, tstop, the pedestrians will have to wait till they cross the road if you slow down, come to a complete stop at the crosswalk and yield to the pedestrians.

Answers

Answer:

t_pass = 2.34 m

t_stop = 4.68 s

Thus, for the car passing at constant speed the pedestrian will have to wait less.

Explanation:

If the car is moving with constant speed, then the time taken by it will be given as:

[tex]t_{pass} = \frac{D}{v}[/tex]

where,

t_pass = time taken = ?

D = Distance covered = 23 m

v = constant speed = (22 mi/h)(1609.34 m/1 mi)(1 h/3600 s) = 9.84 m/s

Therefore,

[tex]t_{pass} = \frac{23\ m}{9.84\ m/s} \\[/tex]

t_pass = 2.34 m

Now, for the time to stop the car, we will use third equation of motion to get the acceleration first:

[tex]2as = v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^2\\a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^2}{2D}\\\\a = \frac{(0\ m/s)^{2}-(9.84\ m/s)^2}{(2)(23\ m)}\\\\a = -2.1\ m/s^2[/tex]

Now, for the passing time we use first equation of motion:

[tex]v_{f} = v_{i} + at_{stop}\\t_{stop} = \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{a}\\\\t_{stop} = \frac{0\ m/s - 9.84\ m/s}{-2.1\ m/s^2}[/tex]

t_stop = 4.68 s

Constant velocity is the velocity which covers the same distance for each interval of the time.

The time required to pass is 2.34 seconds and the time to stop is 4.68 seconds.

What is constant velocity?

Constant velocity is the velocity which covers the same distance for each interval of the time.

It can be given as,

[tex]v=\dfrac{x}{t}[/tex]

As the distance covered by the car is 23 meters and the constant velocity of the car is 22 miles per second.

Convert the unit of velocity in m/s the value obtained will be 9.84 m/s.

Thus amount of time, [tex]t_{pass}[/tex] is,

[tex]9.84=\dfrac{23}{t_{pass} } \\t_{pass} =\dfrac{23}{9.84} \\t_{pass} =2.34[/tex]

As the distance covered by the car is 23 meters and the constant velocity of the car is 22 miles per second.

Convert the unit of velocity in m/s the value obtained will be 9.84 m/s.

Thus amount of time, [tex]t_{pass}[/tex] is,

[tex]9.84=\dfrac{23}{t_{pass} } \\t_{pass} =\dfrac{23}{9.84} \\t_{pass} =2.34[/tex]

According to the third equation of the motion acceleration can be given as,

[tex]v^2-u^2=2ax\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2x}\\a=\dfrac{0^2-9.84^2}{2\times 23}\\a=-2.1 \rm \; m/s^2[/tex]

Now, use the first equation of motion, to get the required time,

[tex]v=u+at\\0=9.84+(-2.1)t\\t=4.68\rm \; s[/tex]

Therefore, the time required to pass is 2.34 seconds and the time to stop is 4.68 seconds.

Explanation:

Suppose that a uniform rope of length L resting on a frictionless horizontal surface, is accelerated along the direction of its length by means of a force F, pulling it at one end. A mass M is accelerated by the rope. Assuming the mass of the rope to be m and the acceleration is a. Stated in terms of the product ma, what is the tension in the rope at the position 0.3 L from the end where the force F is applied if the mass M is 1.5 times the mass of the rope m?

Answers

Answer:

2.2 ma

Explanation:

Given :

Length of the rope = L

Mass of the rope = m

Mass of the object pulled by the rope = M

M = 1.5 m

So, L [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] m

For unit length [tex]$\rightarrow \frac{m}{L}$[/tex]

∴ 0.3 L = [tex]$0.3 \ L \left(\frac{m}{L}\right)$[/tex]

            = 0.3 m

And for remaining 0.7 L =  [tex]$0.7 \ L \left(\frac{m}{L}\right)$[/tex]

            = 0.7 m

By Newtons law of motion,

F - T = ( 0.3 m) a .........(1)

T = ( M + 0.7 m) a

T = ( 1.5 m + 0.7 m) a

T = ( 2.2 m ) a  ..............(2)

So from equation (1) and (2), we have

Tension on the rope

T = 2.2 ma

What are characteristics of wide-angle lenses?

Answers

One of the characteristics of a wide-angle lens is the ability to capture the expanse of a scene in an image with its wide angle of view. Also, it is able to create an intriguing deformed effect when you photograph the subject from a close distance. These characteristics can be utilised to bring out the shape of a subject or the depth of a landscape. That being said, care is needed as distortion is more likely to occur toward the edges of the image. To make effective use of a wide-angle lens, it is important to control both the angle of view as well as distortions in the image at the same time. By doing so, you will be able to add a dynamic touch to your photographic expression.
