A certain instant camera determines the distance to the subject by sending out a sound wave and measuring the time needed for th

e wave echo to return to the camera. how long would it take the sound wave to return to the camera if the subject were 3.42 m away? the speed of sound is 343 m/s. answer in units of s.

The total distance covered by the sound wave is twice the distance between the camera and the subject (because the wave has to reach the subject and then travel back to the camera), so 2L, where L=3.42 m. The speed of sound is v=343 m/s. It is a uniform linear motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space (S), time (t) and velocity (v) to find the time the wave needs to return to the camera:
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{2L}{v}= \frac{2\cdot 3.42 m}{343 m/s}=0.020 s

What is the energy per photon absorbed during the transition from n = 2 to n = 3 in the hydrogen atom?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

n_f = Higher energy level = 3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )

\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Now we have to calculate the energy.

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}

E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

A soccer player carries the ball for a distance of 40.0 m in the direction 42.0° west of south. find the westward component of t
Maksim231197 [3]

Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.

We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:

sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle

sin 42 = x / 40 m

x = (40 m) sin 42

x = 26.77 m

 

Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m

The correct answer is <span>Montana.

In fact, we see from the table that Montana is the state with the largest amount of coal mined in 2005: 120 billion tons, while all the other states have a smaller amount of coal mined (37, 68 and 78, for West Virginia, Wyoming and Illinois, respectively).</span>
