I know the answer
Explanation:
We want to choose the film thickness such that destructive interference occurs between the light reflected from the air-film interface (call it wave 1) and from the film-lens interface (call it wave 2). For destructive interference to occur, the phase difference between the two waves must be an odd multiple of half-wavelengths.
You can think of the phases of the two waves as second hands on a clock; as the light travels, the hands tick-tock around the clock. Consider the clocks on the two waves in question. As both waves travel to the air-film interface, their clocks both tick-tock the same time-no phase difference. When wave 1 is reflected from the air-film boundary, its clock is set forward 30 seconds; i.e., if the hand was pointing toward 12, it's now pointing toward 6. It's set forward because the index of refraction of air is smaller than that of the film.
Now wave 1 pauses while wave two goes into and out of the film. The clock on wave 2 continues to tick as it travels in the film-tick, tock, tick, tock.... Clock 2 is set forward 30 seconds when it hits the film-lens interface because the index of refraction of the film is smaller than that of the lens. Then as it travels back through the film, its clock still continues ticking. When wave 2 gets back to the air-film interface, the two waves continue side by side, both their clocks ticking; there is no change in phase as they continue on their merry way.
So, to recap, since both clocks were shifted forward at the two different interfaces, there was no net phase shift due to reflection. There was also no phase shift as the waves travelled into and out from the air-film interface. The only phase shift occured as clock 2 ticked inside the film.
Call the thickness of the film t. Then the total distance travelled by wave 2 inside the film is 2t, if we assume the light entered pretty much normal to the interface. This total distance should equal to half the wavelength of the light in the film (for the minimum condition; it could also be 3/2, 5/2, etc., but that wouldn't be the minimum thickness) since the hand of the clock makes one revolution for each distance of one wavelength the wave travels (right?).
When the adjustable mirror on the Michelson interferometer is moved 20 wavelengths, how many fringe pattern shifts would be counted
Answer:
The number of fringe pattern shift is m = 40
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The Michelson interferometer is moved 20 wavelengths i.e [tex]20 \lambda[/tex]
Generally the distance which the Michelson interferometer is moved is mathematically represented as
[tex]d = \frac{m * \lambda}{2}[/tex]
Here [tex]m[/tex] is the number of fringe pattern shift
So
[tex]20 \lambda = \frac{m * \lambda}{2}[/tex]
[tex]40 \lambda = m * \lambda[/tex]
m = 40

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up from chest height to full arm extension, a distance of 0.53 m .
Part A: How much work does the weightlifter do to lift the barbell one time?
Part B: If the weightlifter does 23 repetitions a day, what total energy does she expend on lifting, assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body?
Part C: How many 500 Calorie donuts can she eat a day to supply that energy?
Answer:
A) Workdone = 223.57 N-m
B) 22357 J of energy
C) Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts
Explanation:
A) The work done is calculated from the formula;. Work done = Force × Distance
We are given;
Mass; m = 43 kg
Distance = 0.53 m
Force(weight) = mg = 43 × 9.81
Thus;
Work done = 43 × 9.81 × 0.53
Workdone = 223.57 N-m
B) We are told she does 23 repetitions a day.
Thus, we assume 23% efficiency.
So, Work = Energy
Thus;
At 100% efficiency;
Energy = (223.57/100%) × 23 repetitions = 5142.11 J
Now, since she is only 23% efficient, she will expend; 5142.11/0.23 J = 22357 J of energy to do 5390 J of work.
C) from conversions; 4.18 J = 1 calorie
Thus;
22357 J ÷ 4.18 J/cal = 5348.565 calories
We how many 500 calorie donuts she can eat in a day to supply that energy.
Thus;
Number of donuts = 5348.565 cal ÷ 500 cal /donut
Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the current flowing in each branch of the circuit. Who is correct?
Answer: Only Tech B is correct.
Explanation:
First, tech A is wrong.
The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.
Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

Niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 K. Its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field exceeds 0.100 T. In the absence of any external magnetic field, determine the maximum current a 5.68-mm-diameter niobium wire can carry and remain superconducting.
Answer:
The current is [tex]I = 1420 \ A[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The diameter of the wire is [tex]d = 5.68 \ mm = 0.00568 \ m[/tex]
The magnetic field is [tex]B = 0.100 \ T[/tex]
Generally the radius of the wire is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]r = \frac{ 0.00568}{2}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.00284 \ m[/tex]
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }[/tex]
=> [tex]I =\frac{ B * 2 \pi r }{\mu_o}[/tex]
Here [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value [tex]\mu_o = 4 \pi *10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]
substituting values
=> [tex]I =\frac{ 0.100 * 2 * 3.142 * 0.00284 }{ 4 \pi * 10^{-7}}[/tex]
=> [tex]I = 1420 \ A[/tex]
A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is the period if the amplitude of the motion is doubled
Answer:
The period of the motion will still be equal to T.
Explanation:
for a system with mass = M
attached to a massless spring.
If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A
and has period T
The equation for the period T is given as
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }[/tex]
where k is the spring constant
If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.
Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.
A loop of wire is at the edge of a region of space containing a uniform magnetic field B. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Now the loop is pulled out of this region in such a way that the area A of the coil inside the magnetic field region is decreasing at the constant rate c. That is, dA/dt=−c, with c>0.Required:a. The induced emf in the loop is measuredto be V. What is the magnitude B of the magnetic field that the loop was in?b. For the case of a square loop of sidelength L being pulled out of the magneticfield with constant speed v, What is the rate of change of area c= -dA/dt
Answer:
The question is not clear enough. So i have attached a copy of the correct question.
A) B = V/c
B) c = Lv
Explanation:
A) we know that formula for magnetic flux is;
Φ = BA
Where B is magnetic field and A is area
Now,
Let's differentiate with B being a constant;
dΦ/dt = B•dA/dt
From faradays law, the EMF induced is given as;
E = -dΦ/dt
However, we want to express it in terms of V and E.M.F is also known as potential difference or Voltage.
Thus, V = -dΦ/dt
Thus, we can now say that;
-V = B•dA/dt
Now from the question, we are told that dA/dt = - c
Thus;
-V = B•-c
So, V = Bc
Thus, B = V/c
B) according to Faraday's Law or Lorentz Force Law, an electromotive force, emf, will be induced between the two ends of the sidelength:
Thus;
E =LvB or can be written as; V = LvB
Where;
V is EMF
L is length of bar
v is velocity
From the first solution, we saw that;
V = Bc
Thus, equating both of the equations, we have;
Bc = LvB
B will cancel out to give;
c = Lv

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 50 m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) Find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t. h(t) = (b) How long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) s (c) With what velocity does it strike the ground? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) m/s (d) If the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 9 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Using displacement =Ut + 1/2gt²
=> 0 + 1/2 (-9.8)t²
= -4.9t²
So
h(t) = 50+ displacement
= 50 - 4.9t²
B. To reach the ground
h(t) = 0
So
50-4.9t²= 0
t = √ (50/4.9)
= 3.2s
C. Using
V = u+ gt
U= 0
V= - 9.8(3.2)
= 31.4m/s
D. If u = -9m/s
Then s = ut + 1/2gt²
5t- 1/2gt²
But distance from the ground is
=.> 50-5t- 4.8t²= 0
So t solving the quadratic equation
t= 3.58s
(a) The distance of the stone above the ground level at time t is [tex]h(t) = 50 - 4.9t^2[/tex]
(b) The time taken for the stone to strike the ground is 3.19 s.
(c) The velocity of the stone when it strikes the ground is 31.4 m/s.
(d) The time taken for the stone to reach the ground when thrown at the given speed is 2.41 s.
The given parameters;
height above the ground, h₀ = 50 mThe distance of the stone above the ground level at time t is calculated as;
[tex]h(t) = h_0 - ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h(t) = 50 - 0 -0.5\times 9.8t^2\\\\h(t) = 50 - 4.9t^2[/tex]
The time taken for the stone to strike the ground is calculated as;
[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 50}{9.8} } \\\\t = 3.19 \ s[/tex]
The velocity of the stone when it strikes the ground is calculated as;
[tex]v =u + gt\\\\v = 0 + 3.2 \times 9.8\\\\v = 31.4 \ m/s[/tex]
The time taken for the stone to reach the ground when thrown at speed of 9 m/s is calculated as;
[tex]50 = 9t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\\\50 = 9t + 4.9t^2\\\\4.9t^2 + 9t - 50 = 0\\\\a = 4.9 \, \ b = 9, \ \ c = -50\\\\solve \ the \ quadratic \ equation\ using \ formula \ method\\\\t = \frac{-b \ \ + /- \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-9 \ \ + /- \ \ \sqrt{(9)^2 - 4(4.9 \times -50)} }{2(4.9)} \\\\t = 2.41 \ s \ \ or \ \ - 4.24 \ s[/tex]
Thus, the time taken for the stone to reach the ground when thrown at the given speed is 2.41 s.

A student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 7.0 rotations per second. The wheel is subject to some friction, so it gradually slows down.
In the 10.0 s period following the inital spin, the bike wheel undergoes 60.0 complete rotations. Assuming the frictional torque remains constant, how much more time Δ????s will it take the bike wheel to come to a complete stop?
The bike wheel has a mass of 0.625 kg0.625 kg and a radius of 0.315 m0.315 m. If all the mass of the wheel is assumed to be located on the rim, find the magnitude of the frictional torque ????fτf that was acting on the spinning wheel.
Answer:
a) Δt = 24.96 s , b) τ = 0.078 N m
Explanation:
This is a rotational kinematics exercise
θ = w₀ t - ½ α t²
Let's reduce the magnitudes the SI system
θ = 60 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 376.99 rad
w₀ = 7.0 rot / s (2π rad / 1 rpt) = 43.98 rad / s
α = (w₀ t - θ) 2 / t²
let's calculate the annular acceleration
α = (43.98 10 - 376.99) 2/10²
α = 1,258 rad / s²
Let's find the time it takes to reach zero angular velocity (w = 0)
w = w₀ - alf t
t = (w₀ - 0) / α
t = 43.98 / 1.258
t = 34.96 s
this is the total time, the time remaining is
Δt = t-10
Δt = 24.96 s
To find the braking torque, we use Newton's law for angular motion
τ = I α
the moment of inertia of a circular ring is
I = M r²
we substitute
τ = M r² α
we calculate
τ = 0.625 0.315² 1.258
τ = 0.078 N m
The total time taken by the wheel to come to rest is 25.18 s and the magnitude of the frictional torque is 25.18 N-m.
Given data:
The initial angular speed of wheel is, [tex]\omega = 7.0 \;\rm rps[/tex] (rps means rotation per second).
The time interval is, t' = 10.0 s.
The number of rotations made by wheel is, n = 60.0.
The mass of bike wheel is, m = 0.625 kg.
The radius of wheel is, r = 0.315 m.
The problem is based on rotational kinematics. So, apply the second rotational equation of motion as,
[tex]\theta = \omega t-\dfrac{1}{2} \alpha t'^{2}[/tex]
Here, [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angular displacement, and its value is,
[tex]\theta =2\pi \times 60\\\\\theta = 376.99 \;\rm rad[/tex]
And, angular speed is,
[tex]\omega = 2\pi n\\\omega = 2\pi \times 7\\\omega = 43.98 \;\rm rad/s[/tex]
Solving as,
[tex]376.99 = 43.98 \times 10-\dfrac{1}{2} \alpha \times 10^{2}\\\\\alpha = 1.25 \;\rm rad/s^{2}[/tex]
Apply the first rotational equation of motion to obtain the value of time to reach zero final velocity.
[tex]\omega' = \omega - \alpha t\\\\0 = 43.98 - 1.25 \times t\\\\t = 35.18 \;\rm s[/tex]
Then total time is,
T = t - t'
T = 35.18 - 10
T = 25.18 s
Now, use the standard formula to obtain the value of braking torque as,
[tex]T = m r^{2} \alpha\\\\T = 0.625 \times (0.315)^{2} \times 1.25\\\\T = 0.0775 \;\rm Nm[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the total time taken by the wheel to come to rest is 25.18 s and the magnitude of the frictional torque is 25.18 N-m.

A locomotive is pulling three train cars along a level track with a force of 100,000N. The car next to the locomotive has a mass of 80,000kg, next one, 50,000kg, and the last one, 70,000 kg. you can neglect the friction on the cars being pulled.
A) what if the magnitude of the force between that the 80,000-kg car exerts on the 50,000-kg car?
B) what is the magnitude of the force that the 50,000-kg car exerts on the 70,000-kg car?
Answer:
a) 60000 N
b) 35000 N
Explanation:
Force from locomotive = 100000 N
mass of first car = 80000 kg
mass of second car = 50000 kg
mass of third car = 70000 kg
friction is neglected in this system
Total mass of the cars = 80000 + 50000 + 70000 = 200000 kg
All the car in the system will accelerate at the same rate since they are pulled by the same force
We know that force F = ma
where
a is the acceleration of the cars
m is the total mass in the system
from this we can say that
a = F/m
a = 100000/200000 = 0.5 m/s^2
a) The total mass involved in this case = mass of the last two cars after the 80000 kg car = 50000 + 70000 = 120000 kg
therefore force exerted F = ma
F = 0.5 x 120000 = 60000 N
b) The total mass in this case = mass of the third car only = 70000 kg
F = ma
F = 70000 x 0.5 = 35000 N

How much time will elapse if a radioisotope with a half-life of 88 seconds decays to one-sixteenth of its original mass?
Answer:
352 seconds are needed for the radioisotope to decay to one-sixteenth of its original mass.
Explanation:
The decay of radioisotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:
[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{t}{\tau}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, measured in seconds.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the radioisotope, measured in grams.
The solution of this expression is:
[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
Where [tex]m_{o}[/tex] is the initial mass of the radioisotope, measured in kilograms.
The ratio of current mass to initial mass is:
[tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
The time constant is now calculated in terms of half-life:
[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln2}[/tex]
Where [tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] is the half-life of the radioisotope, measured in seconds.
Given that [tex]t_{1/2} = 88\,s[/tex], the time constant of the radioisotope is:
[tex]\tau = \frac{88\,s}{\ln 2}[/tex]
[tex]\tau \approx 126.957\,s[/tex]
Now, if [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}(t)} = \frac{1}{16}[/tex] and [tex]\tau \approx 126.957\,s[/tex], the time is:
[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]t = -(126.957\,s)\cdot \ln \frac{1}{16}[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 352\,s[/tex]
352 seconds are needed for the radioisotope to decay to one-sixteenth of its original mass.

When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.800 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 21.5 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? Use 3.00×108 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Answer:
196 nm
Explanation:
Given that
Value of wavelength, = 490 nm
Time spent in air, t(a) = 17.5 ns
Thickness of glass, th = 0.8 m
Time spent in glass, t(g) = 21.5 ns
Speed of light in a vacuum, c = 3*10^8 m/s
To start with, we find the difference between the two time spent
Time spent on glass - Time spent in air
21.5 - 17.5 = 4 ns
0.8/(c/n) - 0.8/c = 4 ns
Note, light travels with c/n speed in media that has index of refraction
(n - 1) * 0.8/c = 4 ns
n - 1 = (4 ns * c) / 0.8
n - 1 = (4*10^-9 * 3*10^8) / 0.8
n - 1 = 1.2/0.8
n - 1 = 1.5
n = 1.5 + 1
n = 2.5
As a result, the wavelength of light in a medium with index of refraction would then be
490 / 2.5 = 196 nm
Therefore, our answer is 196 nm
Light of wavelength 550 nm is incident on a slit having a width of 0.200 mm. The viewing screen is 1.90 m from the slit. Find the width of the central bright fringe

The width of Center bright fringe is 10.2mm
Explanation:
Given that if
Y/ L << 1 then
Sin theta will be approx Y/L
So sin theta approx Y/L = lamda/a
Y= a x lambda/a
By substituting
1.9x 10^ -3m x 550*10^-9/ 0.2 x 10^-3m
= 5.2mm
But
Change in y = 2y = 10.4mm
Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.
a. A 200 kg piece of silver is placed at the end of a 2.5 m tree branch.
b. A 20 kg piece of marble is placed at the end of a 25 m construction crane arm.
c. A 8 kg quartz rock is placed at the end of a 62.5 m thin titanium rod.
d. The torque is the same for two cases.
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Answer:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Explanation:
The formula for torque is:
τ = Fr
where,
τ = Torque
F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg
r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation
Therefore,
τ = mgr
a)
Here,
m = 200 kg
r = 2.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
b)
Here,
m = 20 kg
r = 25 m
Therefore,
τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
c)
Here,
m = 8 kg
r = 62.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
Hence, the correct answer will be:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
The A block, with negligible dimensions and weight P, is supported by the coordinate point (1.1/2) of the parabolic fixed grounded surface, from equation y = x^2/2 If the block is about to slide, what is the coefficient of friction between it and the surface; determine the force F tangent to the surface, which must be applied to the block to start the upward movement.
Answer:
μ = 1
F = P√2
Explanation:
The parabola equation is: y = ½ x².
The slope of the tangent is dy/dx = x.
The angle between the tangent and the x-axis is θ = tan⁻¹(x).
At x = 1, θ = 45°.
Draw a free body diagram of the block. There are three forces:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,
and friction force Nμ pushing up tangential to the surface.
Sum of forces in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N − P cos 45° = 0
N = P cos 45°
Sum of forces in the tangential direction:
∑F = ma
Nμ − P sin 45° = 0
Nμ = P sin 45°
μ = P sin 45° / N
μ = tan 45°
μ = 1
Draw a new free body diagram. This time, friction force points down tangential to the surface, and applied force F pushes up tangential to the surface.
Sum of forces in the tangential direction:
∑F = ma
F − Nμ − P sin 45° = 0
F = Nμ + P sin 45°
F = (P cos 45°) μ + P sin 45°
F = P√2

Explanation:
A uniform meter stick is hung at its center from a thin wire. It is twisted and oscillates with a period of 5 s. The meter stick is then sawed off to a length of 0.76 m, rebalanced at its center, and set into oscillation. With what period does it now oscillate?
Answer:
The new time period is [tex]T_2 = 3.8 \ s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The period of oscillation is [tex]T = 5 \ s[/tex]
The new length is [tex]l_2 = 0.76 \ m[/tex]
Let assume the original length was [tex]l_1 = 1 m[/tex]
Generally the time period is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = 2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{ I }{ mgh } }[/tex]
Now I is the moment of inertia of the stick which is mathematically represented as
[tex]I = \frac{m * l^2 }{12 }[/tex]
So
[tex]T = 2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{ m * l^2 }{12 * mgh } }[/tex]
Looking at the above equation we see that
[tex]T \ \ \ \alpha \ \ \ l[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{ T_2 }{T_1} = \frac{l_2}{l_1}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{ T_2}{5} = \frac{0.76}{1}[/tex]
=> [tex]T_2 = 3.8 \ s[/tex]
What is the de Broglie wavelength of an object with a mass of 2.50 kg moving at a speed of 2.70 m/s? (Useful constant: h = 6.63×10-34 Js.)
Answer:
9.82 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex] Hz
Explanation:
De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:
λ = [tex]\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]
where: λ is the required wavelength of the moving electron, h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, v is its speed.
Given that: h = 6.63 ×[tex]10^{-34}[/tex] Js, m = 2.50 kg, v = 2.70 m/s, the wavelength, λ, can be determined as follows;
λ = [tex]\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{2.5*2.7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6.63 * 10^{-34} }{6.75}[/tex]
= 9.8222 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex]
The wavelength of the object is 9.82 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex] Hz.
