Answer:

8.01 (10^-10) m

Explanation:

use the Particle in a box equation

E = (n^2) (h^2) / (8 m (L^2))

and energy of a particle as its wavelength equation

h c / lamda = E

combine the equations to get

h c / lamda =  (n^2) (h^2) / (8 m (L^2))

get L alone

L^2 = (2^2 - 1^2) h lamda / 8 m c

the longest wavelength is produced by a jump from the first excited state to the ground so

n = 2 to n = 1

so

L^2 = (n1^2 - n2^2) h lamda / (8 m c)

h = 6.6(10^-34) J*s

c = 3(10^8) m/s

m = 9(10^-31) kg

lamda = 700(10^-9) m

n1 =2

n2=1

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second

astraxan [27]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.
