In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a photon found that possesses twice as much energy as one in the blue region (

442 nm) of the visible spectrum?

<span>The answer is: ultraviolet The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency f, by Planck's formula: E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.625 * 10**-34 joule-second). The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength w by: f = c/w, where c is the speed of light, 3.0 * 10**8 meters per second. Combine these formulas and we see that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength by: E = hc/w If the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, a photon with twice the energy has half the wavelength of our 442-nm. photon in this example. So its wavelength is 221 nm. which is in the ultraviolet range.</span>

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

Beams used in Heavy Timber construction are sometimes firecut. This is done to: a) allow air circulation at the beam’s end in an
ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.

An ice skater accelerates backward for 5.0 second to final speed of 12m/s. If the acceleration backward was at a a rate of 1.5m/
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, v = 12m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

12 = U + 1.5*5

12 = U + 7.5

U = 12 - 7.5

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

You are on a boat which is crossing the prime meridian. the altitude of polaris is 50º.explain how you know the boat's location
Lerok [7]
The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude. 
</span>If you observe Polaris  at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50º north latitude and 0º longitude.</span>
