The wave will be reflected back, depending on the angle it hits, or it will bounce (but not exactly using the same route)

hope this helps

A ball is projected horizontally from a table 1.0 m high and hits the ground after falling from a time t=0.45s. If the ball trav

The initial velocity is $6.7 m/s$

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, therefore it consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction

In this problem, we just need to analyze the horizontal motion: the horizontal velocity is constant, therefore the horizontal distance travelled is given by

$x=v_x t$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

Here we have:

t = 0.45 s

x = 3.0 m

And so solving for $v_x$ , we find

$v_x = \frac{3.0}{0.45}=6.7 m/s$

And since the ball was initially projected horizontally, this is also the initial velocity.

The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 °F. After it passes through the radiato

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:571.09 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of cooling water from engine exit $=240^{\circ} F\approx 115.55^{\circ}C$

After Passing through the radiator its temperature decreases to $175^{\circ}F\approx 79.44^{\circ}F$

specific heat of water $=4.184 J/g^{\circ}C$

Volume of water $= 1 gallon\approx 3.78 L$

density of water $\rho =1 gm/mL$

Thus mass of water $=\rho \times V=3.78\times 1=3.78 kg$

Heat transferred to the surrounding is equal to heat absorbed by cooling water

$Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta T$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (115.55-79.44)$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (36.11)$

$Q=571.09 kJ$

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?

alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,

p = momentum = ?

m = mass = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s

The n = 2 to n = 6 transition in the bohr hydrogen atom corresponds to the ________ of a photon with a wavelength of ________ nm

Colt1911 [192]

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are quantized and their energy is given by the approximated formula
$E=- \frac{13.6}{n^2} [eV]$
where n is the number of the level.

In the transition from n=2 to n=6, the variation of energy is
$\Delta E=E(n=6)-E(n=2)=-13.6 ( \frac{1}{6^2}- \frac{1}{2^2} )[eV]=3.02 eV$
Since this variation is positive, it means that the system has gained energy, so it must have absorbed a photon.

The energy of photon absorbed is equal to this $\Delta E$ . Converting it into Joule,
$\Delta E=3.02 eV=4.84 \cdot 10^{-19}J$
The energy of the photon is
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant while f is its frequency. Writing $\Delta E=hf$ , we can write the frequency f of the photon:
$f= \frac{\Delta E}{h}= \frac{4.84 \cdot 10^{-19}J}{6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg/s}=7.29 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The photon travels at the speed of light, $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , so its wavelength is
$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{7.29 \cdot 10^{14}Hz}=4.11 \cdot 10^{-7}m=411 nm$

So, the initial sentence can be completed as:
The n = 2 to n = 6 transition in the bohr hydrogen atom corresponds to the "absorption" of a photon with a wavelength of "411" nm.
