Answer:

The highest part of the wave is called the crest.

Explanation:) hope this helps

The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough. The wave height is the overall vertical change in height between the crest and the trough and distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave or wavelength.

An electron moving in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 1.6 107 m/s undergoes an acceleration

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

B = 0.024T positive z-direction

Explanation:

In this case you consider that the direction of the motion of the electron, and the direction of the magnetic field are perpendicular.

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the electron is given by the following formula:

$F=qvB$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

v: speed of the electron = 1.6*10^7 m/s

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?

By the Newton second law you also have that the magnetic force is equal to:

$F=qvB=ma$ (2)

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a: acceleration of the electron = 7.0*10^16 m/s^2

You solve for B from the equation (2):

$B=\frac{ma}{qv}\\\\B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(7.0*10^{16}m/s^2)}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^7m/s)}\\\\B=0.024T$

The direction of the magnetic field is found by using the right hand rule.

The electron moves upward (+^j). To obtain a magnetic forces points to the positive x-direction (+^i), the direction of the magnetic field has to be to the positive z-direction (^k). In fact, you have:

-^j X ^i = ^k

Where the minus sign of the ^j is because of the negative charge of the electron.

Then, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.024T and its direction is in the positive z-direction

Six new refrigerator prototypes are tested in the laboratory. For each refrigerator, the electrical power P needed for it to ope

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s.

the rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

2.1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device that uses work to remove heat energy from a cold reservoir and deposit it into a hot reservoir. .A good refrigerator (with a large performance coefficient) will remove a large amount of heat energy from the cold reservoir for a small amount of work input

The performance coefficient of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of the heat energy removed from the cold reservoir to the work input to the refrigerator:

k=QC/W

power is defined as work per unit time

1.k=1500/750=2

2. 1200/400=3

3.2000/500=4

4.1000/250=4

5.1500/500=3

6.3000/1000=3

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

2, Rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

rate at which temperature rises in the inner chamber of the refrigerator is proportional to the rate of energy used to dispel heat from the refrigerator

1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what

Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i$

Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i$ | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

for instance:

If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

m = $\frac{m_1+m_2}{2}$

Δm = | $\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ | Δx₁ + | $\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ | Δx₂

$\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ = ½

$\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ = ½

Δm = $\frac{1}{2}$ Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.
