You are in a speedboat on a river moving in the same direction as the current. The speedometer on the boat shows that its speed

is 20 km/h. However, a person on the shore measures the boat's speed as 23 km/h. How is this possible?

From the reference point of the river, the speed of the boat is 20 km/h. From the reference point of someone standing on the shore, the speed of the boat is the speed on the speedometer plus the downstream speed of the current.

Sound waves produced by a source pass a point five times every second. Which of the following choices correctly describes the pe
Ugo [173]

The period is 1/5 second, and the frequency is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Let's start by reviewing some definitions about waves:

- The period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to make one complete cycle. It is indicated with T and it is measured in seconds (s)

- The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles made by the wave in one second. It is indicated with f and it is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where f is the frequency and T is the period.

In this problem, we have a wave that passes a given point five time per second. This means that the number of oscillations per second is five, and so its frequency is:

f=\frac{5 cycles}{1 sec}=5 Hz

It follows than the period of the wave is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5}s

Therefore, the correct statement is

The period is 1/5 second, and the frequency is 5 Hz.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}

E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J

(b).  We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}

E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J

Hence, This is the required solution.

A feather, a marble, and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at
Vika [28.1K]

The correct answer is that they would all hit the ground at the same time. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step
Kipish [7]

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35  J

or

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.
