What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 11.5 a0 ?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The frequency of radiation is $2.61 \times 10^{17} s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength $\lambda = 11.5 \times 10^{-10}$ m

Speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

For finding the frequency of radiation,

$c = f \lambda$

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^{8} }{11.5 \times 10^{-10} }$

$f = 2.61 \times 10^{17}$ $s^{-1}$

Therefore, the frequency of radiation is $2.61 \times 10^{17} s^{-1}$

Give at least two reasons today’s astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

1. Potential hazard

2. Mining opportunity

Explanation:

The two reason, why astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids:

1. Potential hazard: We have proof that the dinosaurs got extinct because of an asteroid/comet strike on Earth. Also we have seen the effects of the Tunguska event and Chelyabinsk tragedy. These are enough to show us that asteroids can be very dangerous and wipe out the life from Earth.

2. Mining Opportunity: We have discovered a lot of asteroids which contains a lot of metal and precious elements. There can be a possibility of mining such asteroids in the future and reducing the burden on Earth.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel

Olenka [21]

A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation

Is position a base or derived quantity?

amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

Mass
Length (position)
Time
Temperature
Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

Speed
Acceleration
Volume
Area
Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.
