Answer:

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

Given:

Growing length = 3.7 meter

Time = 14 days

To find:

Growth rate = ?

Formula used:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Solution:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Growing  length = 3.7 × 10^{6} micrometer

Time = 14 × 24 × 60 × 60

Growth rate = \frac{3700000}{1209600}

Growth rate = 3.05 micrometer per second

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image
Neko [114]

Answer:

1.Theimage will be located at -0.13m or -13 cm

2.The height of the image will be 0.052m or 5.2cm

Explanation:

Given that;

Height of object, h=20 cm = 0.2m

Object distance in front of convex mirror, o,= 50 cm =0.5m

Radius of curvature, r, =34 cm =0.34m

Let;

Image distance, i,=?

Image height, h'=?

You know that focal length,f, is half the radius of curvature,hence

f=r/2 = 0.34/2 = 0.17m ( this length is inside the mirror, in a virtual side, thus its is negative)

f= -0.17m

Apply the relationship that involves the focal length;

=\frac{1}{o} +\frac{1}{i} =\frac{1}{f}

=\frac{1}{0.5} +\frac{1}{i} =-\frac{1}{0.17}

Re-arrange to get i

\frac{1}{i} =-2-5.88\\\\\\\frac{1}{i} =-7.88\\\\i=-0.13m

This is a virtual image formed at a negative distance produced through extension of drawing rays behind the mirror if you use rays to locate the image behind the mirror

Apply the magnification formula

magnification, m=height of image÷height of object

m=\frac{h'}{h} =-\frac{i}{o}

substitute the values to get the height of image h'

\frac{h'}{0.20} =-\frac{-0.13}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.13*0.20}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.025}{0.5} =0.052m\\\\\\h'=5.2cm

All types of electromagnetic waves moves with speed of light in *
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

in a vacuum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields along a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (transverse waves)

Electromagnetic waves are the only waves being able to travel in a vacuum, since they do not need a medium to propagate.

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, called speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of the waves is actually reduced when they enter a medium, according to

v=\frac{c}{n}

where n is the refractive index of the medium.

Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types according to their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves
