3 0

A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

  • Axes
  • Chisel
  • Knives
  • Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t
inn [45]

(a) 4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the wave's speed

\lambda is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting,

f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm

(c) 2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.
