Answer:

The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s² ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in

30.0 seconds

The given is:

→ The initial velocity = 0

→ The final velocity = 500 meters per seconds

→ The time is 30 seconds

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the rocket

→ $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity

and t is the time

→ u = 0 , v = 500 m/s , t = 30 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ $a=\frac{500-0}{30}=\frac{500}{30}=16.6$ m/s²

The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s²

What is the energy of a photon of blue light with a wavelength of 460 nm?

kaheart [24]

Answer: $E=4.321(10)^{-19} J$

Explanation:

The energy $E$ of a photon is given by:

$E=h\nu$ (1)

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

$\nu$ is the frequency light

On the other hand, there is an inverse relationship between $\nu$ and the wavelength $\lambda$ :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

Where:

$c=3(10)^{8} m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda=460 nm=460(10)^{-9}m$ is the wavelength

Substituting (2) in (1):

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ (3)

$E=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s})(3(10)^{8} m/s)}{460(10)^{-9}m}$

Finally:

$E=4.321(10)^{-19} J$ This is the energy of a photon of blue light, in Joules.

A single slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an angle of 40.0° from central maximum, when monochromatic

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$\lambda = 424.4 nm$

Explanation:

As we know by the formula of diffraction

$a sin\theta = N\lambda$

so we have

a = slit size

$\theta$ = angular position of Nth minimum

so we will have

for first minimum of 630 nm light

$a sin40 = 1(630 \times 10^{-9})$

$a = 9.8 \times 10^{-7} m$

Now for another wavelength second minimum is at 60 degree angle

$a sin60 = 2 \lambda$

$(9.8 \times 10^{-7}) sin60 = 2 \lambda$

$\lambda = 424.4 nm$

The 2 question are on the photo above.

AlekseyPX

A. power plants burn coal. A fossil-fuel power plant is one that burns fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity.

b. Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. They are fossilized organic remains that over millions of years have been converted to oil, gas, and coal.

C. they are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated.

5.
a. Gravitational potential energy and work done
If an object is lifted, work is done against the force of gravity.
When work is done energy is transferred to the object and it gains gravitational potential energy.
If the object falls from that height, the same amount of work would have to be done by the force of gravity to bring it back to the Earth’s surface.
If an object at a certain height has 2000 J of gravitational potential energy, we can say that:
2000 J of work has been done in getting the object to that height from the ground
and
2000 J of work would have to be done to bring it back to the ground.

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

$t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}$

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000 which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then $t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }$

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

$t=10^{17-(-24)}$

$t=10^{17+24}$

t=10⁴¹ s

So 10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.
