Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 8P
A student holds a laser that emits light of wavelength λ. The laser beam passes through a pair of slits separated by a distance d, in a glass plate attached to the front of the laser. The beam then falls perpendicularly on a screen, creating an interference pattern on it. The student begins to walk directly toward the screen at speed v. The central maximum on the screen is stationary. Find the speed of the mth-order maxima on the screen, where m can be very large.

A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away.
Mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly
opposite the first mirror and facing toward it. A gun
is fired very close to the first mirror. The speed of
sound is 342 m/s. How many times does the flash of
the gunshot travel the round-trip distance between
the mirrors before the echo of the gunshot is heard?

Can you help me, i need a shortcut on how to know when should i use cosine or sine.here's the problem and the solution
One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40o W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10o S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30o N of E from where she is.
What is her friend’s location, (magnitude and direction) relative to her house? (Ans. 667.54 ft, 21.79o N of E)
From her friend’s location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83o S of W)
In the "red shift" of radiation from a distant galaxy, the light H, known to have
a wavelength of 434 nm when observed in the laboratory, appears to have a
wavelength of 462 nm. What is the speed of the galaxy in the line of sight
relative to the Earth?

You’re curious about how fast this fancy sports car can accelerate. You decide to measure the acceleration by measuring the angle that the string makes with the vertical when the car is accelerating. Your friend’s father puts the pedal to the metal. Using a protractor, you measure that the angle the string makes with the vertical is 40 while the car is accelerating. What is the acceleration of the Ferrari? [Hints: Choose the decoration as the system for your force diagram. Use the vertical-component equation of Newton’s second law to find the magnitude of the force that the string exerts on the decoration. Then continue with the horizontal-component equation.]arrow_forward
- Solve, with no calculus.arrow_forward2. A mouse enters a basement room through a hole in one of the walls. It then travels through the room before running out through a hole in another wall. The mouse is filmed by a surveillance camera on the ceiling. A physics student analyzes the recording and sets up the equations for movement to the mouse. The student uses x and y axes along the two walls with holes in them. The x and y positions as a function of time are x (t) = −0.10 m / s2 · t2 + 1.8 m / s · t y (t) = −0.20 m / s2 · t2 + 2.0 m / s · t + 3.0 m (a) Draw the motion of the mouse in the xy plane. For example, you can plot the position every second. (b) Determine the speed and acceleration of the mouse after 3.0 s. Draw the vectors in the figure in (a).

She then trudges over to a friend's house 0.30 km away [W] from the school. The two friends then go off to the mall that is 0.8 km [W50^0S] from the friend's house. *You will need to draw the x and y components of the vectors a. What is the total displacement of the student? b. If the total time taken by the student to run to school then trudge over to the friend's house was 25 minutes, what was her average velocity? *There are many steps to this answer, ensure that you have included ALL steps.arrow_forward
