Answer:

The answer is

A. Switch

Explanation:

A switch is a device for making and breaking current in an electric circuit, it is mostly made of a non conducting material to prevent the user from being electrocuted, switches comes in range of types depending on the area of applications.

A car speed off around a bend at a constant 10m/s explain why it's velocity is not constant

VARVARA [1.3K]

It's velocity is not constant as direction is changing.

We know, velocity is speed with direction, so if direction is changing, velocity can't be constant, doesn't matter that speed is constant.

Hope this helps!

.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u> </u>

<u> </u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

vekshin1

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

$n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}}$ (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find $f$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (5)

Knowing that $1nm=(10)^{-9}m$ :

$f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}$

$f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}$ (6) >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air $\lambda_{air}$ and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass $\lambda_{glass}$ from equation (4):

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}$

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}$

$\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm$ (7) >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed $v$ of this light in glass:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

$v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}$

$v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s$ (8) >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass

How long does it take to change a flat plain into mountains?

ss7ja [257]

It would take millions of years to form a mountain as plates move very slowly and to form it first one plate should climb upon another. After this very slowly this hill will convert into a mountain.
