Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x 10-7 cm

Physics
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
7 0

v =  f (wavelength)i don't know what symbol ya'll use for wavelength so i just put the word instead.We use the greek symbol lambda.So just plug in everything you know.
wavelength=4.257×10^-7x10^-2 and
v=speed of light = 3×10^8
So you should get f= 7.04 ×10^15Hz

Where is the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system? The radius of the Earth is 6378 km and the radius of the Moon is 1737 km.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 4.67 10⁶ m

We see that none of the answers is correct, the closest is the third, but the center of mass is within the radius of the Earth

Explanation:

The definition of the center of mass is

      r_{cm} = 1 / M ∑r_{i}  m_{i}

Where M is the total mass, r_{i} and m_{i}mi are the position and the mass gives each of the bodies

We must locate a reference system for the calculation, we will locate it with the origin in the center of the Earth, the data we have are

Mass of the Earth Me = 5.98 1024 kg

Moon mass m = 7.36 1022 kg

Earth to Moon Distance r = 3.84 108 m

Let's apply this to our case

      r_{cm} = 1 / (Me + m) (Me 0 + m R)

      r_{cm} = 1 / (598 +7.36) 10²² (0 + 7.36 10²² 3.84 10⁸)

     r_{cm} = 4.67 10⁶ m

We can see that this distance is less than the radius of the Earth

We see that none of the answers is correct, the closest is the third, but the center of mass is within the radius of the Earth

Explain why nuclear fusion takes place only in the center of stars
iVinArrow [24]
 <span>A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. And once the fusion reactions begin, they exert an outward pressure. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable. Clouds of gas are common in our galaxy and in other galaxies like ours. These clouds are called nebulae. A typical nebula is many light-years across and contains enough mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consists of molecules of hydrogen and helium--but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements, as well as some surprisingly complex organic molecules. These heavier atoms are remnants of older stars, which have exploded in an event we call a supernova. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. 

STAR BIRTHS are started when the interstellar matter in gas clouds, such as the Eagle Nebula shown here, compresses and fuses. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pulls the gas molecules closer together. Some astronomers think that a gravitational or magnetic disturbance causes the nebula to collapse. As the gases collect, they lose potential energy, which results in an increase in temperature. As the collapse continues, the temperature increases. The collapsing cloud separates into many smaller clouds, each of which may eventually become a star. The core of the cloud collapses faster than the outer parts, and the cloud begins to rotate faster and faster to conserve angular momentum. When the core reaches a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Kelvin, the molecules of hydrogen gas break apart into hydrogen atoms. Eventually the core reaches a temperature of 10,000 degrees Kelvin, and it begins to look like a star when fusion reactions begin. When it has collapsed to about 30 times the size of our sun, it becomes a protostar. When the pressure and temperature in the core become great enough to sustain nuclear fusion, the outward pressure acts against the gravitational force. At this stage the core is about the size of our sun. The remaining dust envelope surrounding the star heats up and glows brightly in the infrared part of the spectrum. At this point the visible light from the new star cannot penetrate the envelope. Eventually, radiation pressure from the star blows away the envelope and the new star begins its evolution. The properties and lifetime of the new star depend on the amount of gas that remains trapped. A star like our sun has a lifetime of about 10 billion years and is just middle-aged, with another five billion years or so left.</span>

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 950 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the dista
sergey [27]
<span>d = 950 m - 4.9t^2 m The distance an object moves under constant acceleration is d = 0.5at^2 where d = distance a = acceleration t = time. Since we're falling and since we're starting at 950 m above ground, the formula becomes: d = 950 m - 0.5at^2 Substituting known values, and simplifying gives us d = 950 m - 0.5*9.8 m/s^2 * t^2 d = 950 m - 4.9 m/s^2 * t^2 Since time is in seconds, we can cancel out the seconds in the units, getting d = 950 m - 4.9t^2 m</span>
