How is the scientific meaning of acceleration different from how we use the term acceleration in everyday life?

Physics

raketka [301]4 years ago

Most people think that "acceleration" means "speeding up". 
(Maybe you use the word that way.  I don't.)
I think this comes from the gas pedal in the car being called
the "accelerator".

The real meaning of "acceleration" is: any change in motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction even if speed
doesn't change.

Calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation required to excite an electron from the ground state to the level with
anastassius [24]

Answer:

2.11 m

Explanation:

<u>Given data</u>

h=6.626×10^{-34\\}(plank constant)

L=45.7 pm

n=n2-n1

n=5-1

n=4

<em>where,</em>

<em>n2=5</em>

<em>n1=1</em>

<u>To find:</u>

E=?

λ=? (Wavelength)

<u>solution</u>

The energy stored in an electron at a specified level is given by;

E=h^{2}×n^{2}÷8ml^{2}..........(1)

<em>m=mass of electron(9.1×</em>10^{-31})

<em>l=length of box</em>

<u>To find E</u>

putting the value of given data in eq(1)

E=9.41×10^{-16}

<u>To find λ</u>

λ=hc/E............................(2)

c=3×10^{8}(speed of light)

putting the value in eq 2 to find wavelength

λ=2.11 m

<u></u>

<u>Note:</u>

There is a chance in calculation error. but the method is correct to solve the problem.

The speed of sound in room temperature (20°C) air is 343 m/s; in room temperature helium, it is 1010 m/s. The fundamental freque
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: f = 927.55Hz

Explanation: Since the the tube is open-closed, the length of air and the wavelength of sound passing through the tube is given below

L = λ/4 where λ = wavelength.

speed of sound in air = v = 343m/s.

fundamental frequency of open closed tube = 315Hz

λ = 4L.

v = fλ

343 = 315 * 4L

343 = 1260 * L

L = 343/ 1260

L = 0.27m

In the same tube of length L = 0.27m but different medium ( helium), the speed of sound is 1010m/s.

The length of tube and wavelength are related by the formulae below

L = λ/4, λ=4L

λ = 4 * 0.27

λ = 1.087m.

v = fλ

1010 = f * 1.087

f = 1010/1.807

f = 927.55Hz
