What has Westpac Stadium in Wellington got to do with the structure of a hydrogen atom? A grain of rice placed in the centre of the field represents the nucleus.

but am not sure if thats right

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of light in the air, $\lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m$

time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, $t=16.7\ s$

time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, $t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s$

thickness of the glass slab, $x=0.87\ m$

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

hence,

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

c= speed of light in air

$16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}$

$d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8$

$d=5.01\ m$

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

$\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t'$ (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

$\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}$

$v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}$

Using Snell's law:

$\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}$

$\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}$

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

What is dark energy?

expeople1 [14]

Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

$\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount $\Delta x$ ), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

$E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2$

$E_i=E_f\\$

$\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$
