nadya68 [22]

Answer:

red has a longer wavelength than yellow. Yellow has a longer wavelength than green.

Explanation

in the visible spectrum a color with high frequency contains shorter wavelength.In this case red color has high wavelength followed by yellow followed by green,blue and violet.

Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

also the PE is given as function of position as

$PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

$\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

$A^2 - x^2 = x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}$

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

$f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}$

$f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}$

$f_k = \frac{8}{9}$

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

$f_{PE} = 1 - f_k$

$f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9$

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = $11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}$

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = $390\ W/m.^{\circ}C$

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

$q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}$

where

$\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C$ = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

$q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s$

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

$M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}$

where

$L_{w}$ = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

$M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g$

How can you verify the archimedes principle?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

It is found that W1 - W2 loss in weight of solid when immersed in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body. This verifies Archimedes' principle.
