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

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

Part A A uniform solid disk of radius 1.60 m and mass 2.30 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of an inclined plane. If the

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity $\omega =4.46rad/sec$

Moment of inertia is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ as we know that v = $v=\omega r$

So $KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2$

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2$

$h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m$

6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Engular velocity: $w=1,24*10^{-3}/s$

Linear velocity: $V=7905 m/s$

The time it takes:

$t=5060s=84min$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1) $a=r*w^{2}$

Solving for w:

(2) $w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }$

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3) $w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s$

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

$V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s$

The perimeter of the orbit is:

$P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m$

The time it takes:

$t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min$

What newton equal to in terms of units of mass and acceleration

Korvikt [17]

This equation is one of the most useful in classical physics. It is a concise statement of Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion, holding both the proportions and vectors of the Second Law. It translates as: The net force on an object is equal to the massof the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object.
