Answer:V=13500m/s

V=fλ

Where v is velocity, f is frequency and λ is the wavelength

f=27hz or 27/s

λ=0.50km=0.50*1000m=500m

Putting given values in the formula

V=(27/s)*(500m)

V=13500m/sss

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity $I = 8.8$ $\frac{W}{m^{2} }$

Area of piece $A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

$P = \frac{I}{c}$

Where $P =$ radiation pressure, $c =$ speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

$c = 3 \times 10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Put all values in above equation,

$P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }$

$P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

If 90 grams of gold has a volume of 5 cm3, calculate the density (include the units and show your work or you get no credit

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The density of gold is of 18 grams per cm3.

Explanation:

The mass density of a homogeneous material expresses how much mass of that material is present in a given volume. Since the density of an object is obtained by dividing its mass by its volume, to obtain the density of gold, its 90 grams of mass must be divided by its 5 cm3 volume, performing the following calculation:

90/5 = X

18 = X

Thus, the density of gold is 18 grams per cm3.
