First change km/ s into m/s, then use the formula
Lambda = velocity/ frequency
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
Frequency = (331 m/s) / (0.6 m) = 551.7 Hz
Answer:
(a) 7.72×10⁵ J
(b) 4000 J
(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,
Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1
Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity
(a)
For a moving automobile,
Ek = 1/2mv².
Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s
Substitute into equation 1
Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)
Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J
(b)
For a sprinting runner,
Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)
Ek = 40(100)
Ek = 4000 J
(c)
For a moving electron,
Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²
Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
Yes the winds are moving in a straight line
