<u>Answer:</u>


This figure shows the Second Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion, <em>The line that joins the planet with the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times</em>.  

According to this statement, the only way in which this is fulfilled is that the planet moves faster when it is <u>near the sun (perihelion)</u> and moves slower when it is <u>far from the Sun (aphelion</u>).

In the image shown, if points W and X are at the same distance to the Sun, this means the instantaneous velocity of the planet in both points is the same.

A swing that is 9.2m long has a child in it who is swinging. what is its period in seconds
Fantom [35]
The child on a swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum.  The period of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{9.2m}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} } }=6.09s

The magnetic field in a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ = 598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z-di
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

For this given plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, the wavenumber is k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m^{-1} .

Explanation:

For a plane electromagnetic wave we have that the electrical and magnetic field are:

E(r,t)=E_{0}\ cos ( wt-kr)\\\ B(r,t)=B_{0}\ cos(wt-kr)

In this case we have the data for the magnetic field. We are told that the magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z direction (\hat k) is described by

         B=8.7\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T sin(kz-wt) (\hat i+\hat j)

(\hat i,\hat j, \hat k are the unit vectors in the x,y,z directions respectively)

The wavenumber k is a measure of the spatial frequency of the wave, is defined as the number of radians per unit distance:

          k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where λ is the wavelength

So we get that

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \rightarrow k=\frac{2\pi}{598 nm}  \rightarrow k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1}

The wavenumber is

            k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1} .

A hollow glass prism doesnot cause the dispersion of light why?<br><br>Please HELP! Its urgent..​
eimsori [14]

Answer:

When white light passes through the prism ,different colours suffers deviation through different angles and light appears to be dispersed. But in a hollow prism dispersion does not take place as all the colours travel with same speed in the air inside hollow prism. Thus no angular dispersion is there.

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction
satela [25.4K]
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
