What is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point each second called?

1 answer:

4 0

Since waves are moving, we define frequency as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified unit of time. The unit commonly used is Hertz which is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The hydrogen peroxide decomposes as: $H_2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+O_2$

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide antiseptic although tightly capped but left on the shelf for a long time leads to swollen bottle and opens with a hissing sound because hydrogen peroxide reacts with air in presence of light to dissociate into water and oxygen molecules that leads to high volume of content in the tightly closed bottle and formation of water molecules from hydrogen peroxide.

Once the hydrogen peroxide has turned into water molecules it is no longer effective as an antiseptic.

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?

kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

Assume the earth to be a nonrotating sphere with mass MEME and radius RERE. If an astronaut weights WW on the ground, what is hi

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The weight at a distance 2 RE from surface of earth is <em>W/9</em>

Explanation:

For the value of acceleration due to gravity (g), we have a formula, that is:

g = (G)(ME)/(RE)² ----- equation (1)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant

ME = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

g = Acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth = 9.8 ms²

When the person goes 2RE, distance above earth's surface. Then the total distance from center of earth becomes: 2RE + RE = 3RE.

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

gh = (G)(ME)/(3RE)²

where,

gh = acceleration due to gravity at height

gh = (G)(ME)/(RE)²9

using equation (1), we get:

gh = g/9

Now, he weight is given by formula:

W = mg ------- equation (2)

At height 2RE

Wh = (m)(gh)

where,

Wh = Weight at height = ?

m = mass of astronaut

Therefore, using vale of gh, we get:

Wh = mg/9

Using equation (2), we get:
