You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interfer

ometer. The hydrogen discharge tube provides light of several different wavelengths (colors) in the visible range. The red light in the hydrogen spectrum has a wavelength of 656.3 nm and the blue light has a wavelength of 434.0 nm. When using the discharge tube and the red filter as the light source, you view a bright red spot in the viewing area of the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror away from the beam splitter and observe 158 bright spots. You replace the red filter with the blue filter and observe a bright blue spot in the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror towards the beam splitter and observe 114 bright spots. Determine the final displacement (include sign) of the moveable mirror. (Assume the positive direction is away from the beam splitter.)

Final displacement equals +24484.5 nm. The path difference observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) with 158 bright spots can be represented as: Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1, leading to the equation 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1. Dividing both sides results in: d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1, with d1 being the distance from the beam splitter to the fixed mirror, and d2 indicating the position of the movable mirror when 158 bright spots appear. Then, with 114 bright spots, the path difference is Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1, simplifying to 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1. Subsequent division gives: d'2 - d1 = 57λ1, where d'2 is the revised position of the movable mirror. The displacement of the movable mirror, (d2 - d'2), can be calculated by subtracting eq2 from eq1, leading to: d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2, with λ1 equal to 656.3 nm and λ2 equal to 434.0 nm. Finally, this gives d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434), resulting in +24484.5 nm.

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he
serg [3582]
The answer is 9938.8 km. Explanation: 1 pound-force = 4.48 N. Hence, 30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N. The gravitational force between Earth and an object on its surface is defined by: Where M denotes Earth’s mass, m is the object's mass, and R represents the Earth's radius (6371 km). To determine height (h) above Earth's surface, we compare ratios. Ultimately, Pete's weight would be 30 pounds at a height of 9938.8 km from the Earth's surface.

Three pendulums with strings of the same length and bobs of the same mass are pulled out to angles θ1, θ2, and θ3, respectively,
Sav [3153]

Answer:

All three pendulums will have the same angular frequencies.

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, the time period using the approximation sin(\theta )\approx \thetais expressed as:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

The angular frequency \omega is defined as

\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}\\\\\omega =\frac{2\pi}{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}}\\\\\therefore \omega =\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}

Since the angular frequency remains unaffected by the initial angle (valid strictly for small angle approximations), we deduce that the angular frequencies of the three pendulums are identical.

Newton’s law of cooling states that dx dt = −k(x−A) where x is the temperature,t is time, A is the ambient temperature, and k &g
Maru [3345]

Answer:

a) X= kA_o\dfrac{1}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+Ce^{-kt}

b) D does not influence the long-term results.

Explanation:

Given that

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-k(x-A)

A = A0 cos(ωt)

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-k(x-A_o cos(\omega t))

\dfrac{dx}{dt}+kx=kA_o cos(\omega t)This is a linear equation hence the integration factor, I

I=e^{\int kdt}

I=e^{kt}Now using the characteristics of linear equations

e^{kt} X=\int e^{kt} kA_o cos(\omega t) dt +C

e^{kt} X= kA_o \dfrac{e^{kt}}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+C

b) At t= 0

X= kA_o\dfrac{1}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+Ce^{-kt}

Thus, the initial condition

does not affect the long-term outcome.

X(0)=\dfrac{k^2A_o}{\omega^2+k^2}+C

The maximum mass the can be hung vertically from a string without breaking the string is 10kg. A length of this string that is 2
serg [3582]

Respuesta:

Explicación:

Al analizar esta pregunta, considera el movimiento circular. Primero, determina la máxima fuerza que puede aplicarse al hilo. F = mg, entonces F = (10)(10) = 100 N. Luego, calcula la aceleración centrípeta de la masa de 0.5 kg, a = F/m, así que a = 100/.5 = 200 m/s². En la hoja de ecuaciones, usa la fórmula a (aceleración centrípeta) = v²/r, por lo que 200 = v²/2; por consiguiente, v = 20 m/s. ¡Espero que esto sea útil!
