Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Energy of the Electromagnetic Spectrum is given by the Planck's equation:

$E=h\nu$

Where,

E = Energy of the wave

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ = Frequency of the wave

And we know that,

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

c = Speed of light

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the wave

Putting the value of frequency in energy equation, we get:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

From the above relation, we get that energy is inversely related to wavelength of the wave.

From the spectra, we know that order of wavelength follows:

Infrared > Visible > UV

So, the order of energy gets reversed and the order becomes:

Infrared < Visible < UV

From the above information, we conclude that the correct option is Option C.

A 1300 kg car traveling with a speed of 3.5 m/s executes a turn with a 8.5 m radius of curvature.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1.4 m/s/s (2.s.f)

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:

$a=\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ , where v is velocity and r is the radius.

In the question we are given the information that the car has a mass of 1300kg, a velocity of 2.5m/s, and a turn radius of 8.5m which are all the values we need. Therefore we can simply substitute in the values to solve the question:

$a=\frac{3.5^{2} }{8.5} \\a=1.4$

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car is 1.4m/s/s. (2.s.f)

Hope this helped!

Answer:

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

Explanation:

The continuous flow of charges is known as electricity (current). The flow of these charges are due to free or mobile electron within the atoms of the conductors. The materials which will allow current to pass through them, must have free or mobile electrons which are loosely bound to their atoms.

Thus, the correction for this question is "D"

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

What potential difference is needed to give a helium nucleus (q=2e) 85.0 kev of kinetic energy?

Vilka [71]

The kinetic energy K given to the helium nucleus is equal to its potential energy, which is
$E=q \Delta V$
where q=2e is the charge of the helium nucleus, and $\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to it.
Since we know the kinetic energy, we have
$E=K=85~keV=q \Delta V$
and from this we can find the potential difference:
$\Delta V = \frac{K}{q}= \frac{85~keV}{2e}=42.5~kV$

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val

Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 $m/s^2$

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 $m/s^2$ in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is - $\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100$

=3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as- $T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}$

$g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}$

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801 $m/s^2$
