Answer:

$E = 3.88 * 10^{-17} J$

Explanation:

Energy is directly proportional to frequency and it is given as:

E = hf

where h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

To get frequency, we use the formula of speed:

c = λf

where c = speed of light

λ = wavelength

=> f = c/λ

Therefore, the energy of the photon will be:

E = hc/λ

$E = \frac{6.626 * 10^{-34} * 3 * 10^{8} }{512 * 10^{-9} }$

$E = 3.88 * 10^{-17} J$

The energy of the photon is $3.88 * 10^{-17} J$

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb = 59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2$

where

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

$\Delta x = d-0=d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2$

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

$\Delta x = -d -0 = -d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.
