Lighting flows around the outside of a truck, and the majority of the current flows from the cars metal cage into the ground below. It's not very safe to be in a car or truck during bad weather.

What is the energy of a single photon of infrared light with a wavelength of 1.00 µm? 1 µm = 10^-6m
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Energy is found as:

E = 1.987·10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Energy of a single photon of infrared light can be found by using the following formula:

E=hf

where

E = in Joules

h = Planck's constant = 6.627×10 ⁻³⁴ J

f = frequency in hertz

It can also be written as:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

c = 2.998×10⁸ ms⁻¹

λ = wavelength

Wavelength is given in the question which is:

λ = 1×10⁻⁶m

Substitute all the values in the Energy formula

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\E = \frac{(6.627\cdot10^{-34})(2.998\cdot10^8)}{1\cdot10^{-6}}\\E = 1.987\cdot10^{-19}J

inessss [21]

Answer:

the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the kinematics relations, let's start by finding the final velocity of the acceleration period

          v² = v₀² + 2 a₁ x

indicate that the initial velocity is zero

          v² = 2 a₁ x

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt {2 \ 15.0 \ 645}

          v = 143.666 m / s

now for the second interval let's find the distance it takes to stop

          v₂² = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

in this part the final velocity is zero (v₂ = 0)

         0 = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

         x₂ = v² / 2a₂

let's calculate

         x₂ = \frac{ 143.666^2 }{2 \  18.2}

         x₂ = 573 m

as the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

Zigmanuir [339]
In energy point of view, the larger stone had more potential energy before dropping. impacting the water, the larger one, having more kinetic energy which changed from potential energy, tranfered energy to the water and formed wave. the amplitude of the wave indicate the energy of the wave. more energy more amplitude.
