The wavelength of red light is 7 x 10^-7 meter. Express this value in nanometers

3241004551 [841]

The wavelength of the red light in "nanometer" is 7× $10^{2}$

Wavelength is given as : 7× $10^{-7}$ meter

1 nanometer = ( $10^{-9}$ meter)

Let X= value of the wavelength in nanometer.

1 nanometer = $10^{-9}$ meter

X nanometer = 7× $10^{-7}$ meter

<em>If we Cross multiply</em>

X nanometer = ( $\frac{ 7* 10^{-7} }{ 10^{-9} }$ )

X= 7× $10^{2}$ nanometer

Therefore, the wavelength in "nanometer" is 7× $10^{2}$

Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, $31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}$ . What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:

$\triangle E = 12.79 J$

Explanation:

Sprinters' tendons stretch, $x_s = 43 mm = 0.043 m$

Non athletes' stretch, $x_n = 32 mm = 0.032 m$

Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m

Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, $E_s = 0.5kx_s^2$

Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, $E_m = 0.5kx_n^2$

Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:

$\triangle E = E_s - E_n = 0.5k(x_s^2 - x_n^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*3100* (0.043^2 - 0.032^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*31000*0.000825\\\triangle E = 12.79 J$

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau

Viktor [21]

Answer:

6.75 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating

960-y is the distance traveled in free fall

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 16\times y+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v^2=32y\ m/s$

In free fall

$v^2-u^2=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 0-32y=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow -32y=2\times -9.81(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 960-y=\dfrac{-32}{2\times -9.81}y\\\Rightarrow 960-y=1.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow 960=2.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{960}{2.63098878695}\\\Rightarrow y=364.881828749\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m

After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 364.881828749=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{364.881828749\times 2}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=6.75353452598\ s$

The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds
