Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates? Explain.

1 answer:

7 0

Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

To navigate, a porpoise emits a sound wave that has a wavelength of 3.3 cm. The speed at which the wave travels in seawater is 1

dedylja [7]

Answer:

$2.2\times 10^{-5} s$

Explanation:

We are given that

The wavelength of sound wave= $\lambda=3.3 cm=3.3\times 10^{-2}m/s$

1 cm/s= $10^{-2}m/s$

Speed of sound wave,v= $1522 m/s$

We have to find the period of the wave.

We know that

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

Using the formula

Frequency = $\frac{1522}{3.3\times 10^{-2}}=4.6\times 10^{4}$ Hz

Time period= $\frac{1}{4.6\times 10^4}=0.22\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{10}{10^1}=2.2\times 10^{-4-1}=2.2\times 10^{-5}s$

Using identity: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

Hence, the time period of the wave= $2.2\times 10^{-5} s$

Describe the atomic structure of hydrogen atom.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer and Explanation:

The hydrogen atom is an atom of hydrogen element.Hydrogen atoms contain one proton which has positive charge and one electron which has negative charge , so due to positive and negative charge present in the hydrogen atom its becomes neutral atom.In whole universe the hydrogen atom is found in most abundant. Electron and nucleus of the hydrogen atom is bound together with the help of coulomb force.
