The first thing you should know is that the distance is equal to the speed per time.
Therefore if You walk forward at 1.5 m / s for 8s
d = 1.5t [0,8] s
Your friend decides to walk faster and starts at 2.0 m / s for the first 4 s.
d = 2t [0,4] s
Then she slows down and walks forward at 1.0 m / s for the next 4s
d = t + 4 [4,8] s
Who walked farther?
They both walked the same distance
12 meters

It takes 4.0 eV to excite an electron in a box from the ground level to the first excited level. What is the width L of the box?

AveGali [126]

To solve this problem we will use the concept related to electrons in a box which determines the energy of an electron in that state.

Mathematically this expression is given by,

$E_n= \frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$

Where,

m = mass of an electron

h = Planck's constant

n = is the integer number of the eigenstate

L = Quantum well width

The change in energy must be given in state 1 and 2, therefore

$\Delta E = E_2 - E_1$

$\Delta E = \frac{2^2h^2}{8mL^2}-\frac{1^2h^2}{8mL^2}$

$\Delta E = \frac{3h^2}{8mL^2}$

Replacing we have:

$(4*1.6*10^{-19}) = \frac{3(6.626*10^{34})}{8*(9.11*10^{-31})*L^2}$

$L = 0.53nm$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A block is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 65o with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

8.2 m/s²

Explanation:

m = mass of the block

μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.17

$F_{n}$ = Normal force on the block by the ramp

$f_{k}$ = kinetic frictional force

Force equation perpendicular to ramp surface is given as

$F_{n} = mg Cos65$

Kinetic frictional force is given as

$f_{k} = \mu F_{n}$

$f_{k} = \mu mg Cos65$

Force equation parallel to ramp surface is given as

$mg Sin65 - f_{k} = ma$

$mg Sin65 - \mu mg Cos65 = ma$

$g Sin65 - \mu g Cos65 = a$

$(9.8) Sin65 - (0.17) (9.8) Cos65 = a$

$a = 8.2$ m/s²

We sing better in the shower due to standing waves. Assume that your shower is 2.45 m (about 8 ft) tall and can be modeled as an

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 4.9 m

Explanation:

given,

length of the organ pipe,L = 2.45 m

wavelength of the standing wave = ?

fundamental harmonic is given as,

$L= \dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda= 2 \times L$

$\lambda= 2 \times 2.45$

λ = 4.9 m

Hence, the wavelength of the fundamental harmonic for standing waves in this shower is given by λ = 4.9 m

leva [86]

Answer:

The number of revolutions is 10.68 rev/min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 8 m

Suppose, centripetal acceleration equal to the gravity

$a_{c}=g=9.8$

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

$a_{c}=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$v^2=a_{c}\times r$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{9.8\times8}$

$v=8.85\ m/s$

We need to calculate the value of $\omega$

Using formula of velocity

$v=r\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{8.85}{8}$

$\omega=1.12\rad/s$

We need to calculate the number of revolutions

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega=2\pi N$

$N=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

Put the value into the formula

$N=\dfrac{1.12}{2\pi}$

$N=0.178\ rev/s$

Using conversion rev/s to rev/min

$N=0.178\times 60$

$N=10.68\ rev/min$

Hence, The number of revolutions is 10.68 rev/min.
