  • Physics Help?

    Two parallel slits are illuminated by light composed of two wavelengths. One wavelength is λA = 572nm. The other wavelength is λB and is unknown. On a viewing screen, the light with wavelength λA = 572nm produces its third-order bright fringe at the same place where the light with wavelength λB produces its fourth dark fringe. The fringes are counted relative to the central or zeroth-order bright fringe. What is the unknown wavelength?

    A small mirror is attached to a vertical wall, and it hangs a distance of 1.54 m above the floor. The mirror is facing due east, and a ray of sunlight strikes the mirror early in the morning and then again later in the morning. The incident and reflected rays lie in a plane that is perpendicular to both the wall and the floor. Early in the morning, the reflected ray strikes the floor at a distance of 3.18 m from the base of the wall. Later on in the morning, the ray is observed to strike the floor at a distance of 1.25 m from the wall. The earth rotates at a rate of 15.0˚ per hour. How much time (in hours) has elapsed between the two observations?

    A spring is attached to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with the axis of the spring oriented vertically. An 7.10-kg hollow block of wood (ρ = 840 kg/m3) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow. Ignore any air in the hollow space.

    Physics problem?

    The wheels, axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh W = 64 N. The load chamber and its contents weigh WL = 624 N. The drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheelbarrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force to the handles that is directed vertically upward. Consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.

  • Help with Algebra problem?

    A student is trying to determine the half-life of radioactive iodine-131. He measures the amount,A , of iodine-131 in a sample solution every 8 hours. His data are shown in the table.

    Time(h) = Amount(g)

    0 = 5.33

    8 = 5.16

    16 = 5

    24 = 4.83

    32 = 4.74

    40 = 4.6

    48 = 4.48

    (a) Find an appropriate exponential model of the data points.

    Amount at time t, A(t) = ?

    (b) Find the half-life of idoine-131 according to the exponential model in part (a).
