Answer:

(a) 1.5×10⁻¹¹ m.

(b) 6.7×10⁻² m

Explanation:

Note: All Electromagnetic wave travels in with the same speed, which 3×10⁸ m/s

(a) Give a frequency of 2.00×10¹⁹ Hz.

Using the equation of a wave,

V = λf................ Equation 1

Where V = Speed of electromagnetic wave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = V/f................. Equation 2

Given: f = 2.00×10¹⁹ Hz.

Constant: v = 3×10⁸ m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 3×10⁸/2.00×10¹⁹

λ = 1.5×10⁻¹¹ m.

(b) Similarly using

λ = v/f

Given: f = 4.5×10⁹ Hz, and v = 3×10⁸ m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2 above.

λ = 3×10⁸/4.5×10⁹

λ = 6.7×10⁻² m

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

$P=\rho g h$

Where, P = pressure

$\rho$ = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$P=1000\times9.8\times1.524$

$P=14935.2\ N/m^2$

Pressure in psi is

$P=2.166167621\ psi$

$P=2.167\ psi$

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

The motion of a particle connected to a spring is described by x = 10 sin (pi*t). At

Gekata [30.6K]

To solve this problem we will first apply the principle of energy conservation, for which the elastic potential energy must be the same as the elastic kinetic energy of the simple harmonic movement of the system.

From this conservation it will be possible to find in total terms the total displacement of the system and thus replace it in the given function to find the time.

The potential energy stored would be

$PE= \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

The kinetic energy would be

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega (A^2-x^2)$

Here,

$A = 10m$

$\omega = \pi rad/s$

Now assuming the planned conservation of energy

$PE = KE$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 =\frac{1}{2} m\omega^2 (A^2-x^2)$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(x\frac{k}{m})(A^2-x^2)$

$x^2 = A^2 -x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

$x = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$

So now using the equation previously given to describe the motion of the particle we have to

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 10 sin(xt)$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = sin (xt)$

$sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} ) = \pi t$

$\frac{\pi}{4} = \pi t$

$t = \frac{1}{4}s= 0.25s$

Therefore the correct option is B.
