Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Velocity is given as the displacement per unit of time:

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Speed and velocity are similar but speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity. Speed has magnitude but does not point towards a specific direction. Velocity shows both magnitude and direction and it is a vector quantity.

Acceleration is given as the change in velocity with time. It is a vector quantity:

Acceleration = $\frac{change in velocity}{time}$

Distance is how far a body moves. It is scalar quantity.
Time is the duration of an event. It is a scalar quantity.

What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is most absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membranes?

nadya68 [22]

Answer: The visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, <u>specifically blue and red wavelength</u>

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that pigments generally absorb more light than they reflect (they absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others). Therefore, the color that a given object seems to have depends on which parts of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are reflected and which parts are absorbed.

In this sense, in the thylakoid membranes there are two types of <u>chlorophyll pigments</u>:

-clorophyll b that absorbs the blue light of the electromagnetic spectrum

-clorophyll a that bsorbs the red light of the electromagnetic spectrum

That is why we generally see plants in green color and not in other colors.

A 495-kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 105 m/s in 395 m, during which it encounters an average frictional f

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to energy conservation which states that the workdone is equal to change in the system

Workdone = change in kinetic energy + (frictional force * distance)

Workdone = ΔK + fd

Workdone = kf-Ki + fd

Workdone = = 1/2(m(v-u)^2) + fd

Given

Mass m = 495kg

final velocity v = 105m/s

initial velocity = 0m/s

Force f= 1400N

distance d = 395m

Substitute

Workdone = 1/2(495(105-0)^2) + 1400(395)

Workdone = 2,728,687.5+553000

Workdone = 3,281,687.5 Joules

Time = 8.2secs

Power output = Workdone/Time

Power output = 3,281,687.5/8.2

Power output = 885,766.768

Power output = 8.858 * 10^5 watts

For a home sound system, two small speakers are located so that one is 52 cm closer to the listener than the other. What is the

alekssr [168]

You'll get destructive interference if both waves are the same frequency but the peaks of one wave overlap the troughs of the other wave.

That can only happen if one wave has to travel (1/2 wavelength) farther than the other one to reach your ears. So we want to find the lowest frequency for which 52 cm is 1/2 of a wavelength ... the wavelength is 104 cm.

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

Frequency = (344 m/s) / (104 cm)

Frequency = (344 m/s) / (1.04 meter)

Frequency = (344 / 1.04) per second

Frequency = 330.8 Hz .

A mass of 0.30kg is attached to a spring and is set into motion with a period of 0.24s. what is the spring constant of the sprin

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is 205.42 N/m.

Explanation:

Springs have their own natural "spring constants" that define how stiff they are. The letter k is used for the spring constant, and it has the units N/m.

k = -F/x

The period of a spring-mass system is proportional to the square root of the mass and inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant.

Given:

mass of object in SHM = m = 0.30 kg

Time period of the spring mass system = 0.24s

Spring constant = k ?

Finding 'k' using Time period 'T':

We know that
