A boy is standing motionless on a skateboard. He throws a basketball forward. Describe his motion.

Physics

Answer:

Random motion

Explanation:

If the boy throws the basketball forward while at a position on the skateboard, the motion of the ball will be a random motion since we are not told if the ball is moving on a straight line when thrown forward.

In this case, the boy will tend to move in the direction of the ball. Since the ball is moving in a random manner, the motion of the boy will also be a random motion.

A random motion is a motion of a body in a zig zag manner. It is also known as Brownian motion e.g motion of a buzzing mosquito, motion of a smoke coming out of a chimney etc.

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng
klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

2.01x10^{8}m/s

Wavelength:

4.24x10^{-7}m

Frequency:

4.74x10^{14}Hz

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

n = \frac{c}{v} (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

v = \frac{c}{n}

v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}

v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of 2.01x10^{8}m/s

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.  

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

c = \nu \cdot \lambda  (2)

Where c is the speed of light, \nu is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength

Then, \nu wil be isolated from equation 2.

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}  (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express \lamba in units of meters.

\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm} ⇒ 6.328x10^{-7}m

\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}

\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}

\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of 4.74x10^{14}Hz

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

v = \nu \cdot \lambda

\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}

\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of 4.24x10^{-7}m

How is energy harnessed to do useful work?
baherus [9]

Answer:

But there are ways to harness kinetic energy to either generate useful mechanical work or electricity. This is what many have tried to do to make use of energy that would be otherwise wasted. One way to harness kinetic energy that has popped up many times in recent years has to do with roads and speed bumps
