Answer:

D) directly, inversely

Explanation:

The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.

Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.

Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;

Energy = h x f

where h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

Since c = f ∧

where f is the frequency of the wave

∧ is the wavelength of the wave

c is the speed of light

So;

f = c/∧

Therefore;

E = $\frac{h c}{wavelength}$

From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.

The sunlight that reaches Earth is generated by a transformation of _____.

Georgia [21]

nuclear energy

Explanation:

The sunlight that reaches earth is generated by a transformation of nuclear energy. Radiant energy is a from of energy that reaches the earth from nuclear reactions in the core of the sun.

In this process, light nuclei combines to form larger ones through the process of nuclear fusion.
This process does not conserve energy and mass is converted to energy.
The nuclear reaction produces huge energy that goes into the solar system space and lights it up.
Therefore, it is a transformation of nuclear energy into radiant energy.
The radiant energy is made up of electromagnetic radiations.

A 6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to East along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk=0.15 by a co

ozzi

Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block. There are four forces:

Normal force Fn up.

Weight force mg down.

Applied force F to the east.

Friction force Fn μ to the west.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg = 0

Fn = mg

Sum the forces in the x direction:

F − Fn μ = ma

F − mg μ = ma

a = (F − mg μ) / m

a = (12 N − 6 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.15) / 6 kg

a = 0.53 m/s²

Given:

Δx = 3 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.53 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (0.53 m/s²) (3 m)

v = 1.8 m/s

Looking for some help with the left side of the table and the questions followed :)

Inessa [10]

Answer:

(1). Going in the order: Gas, Liquid, Solid.

Particle separation: Very large; large; small.

Strength of forces between particles: very weak; weak; strong.

(2). a. The change of state is condensation.

b. The density of the substance is increasing as particles move closer together.

(3). a. The liquid's temperature decreases until it reaches solidification (freezing) point, and then the temperature will remain constant until all of the liquid has solidified.

b. The particles move with less and less energy until they have low enough energy to come together and solidify, then they will release more energy when they come together to form bonds, and vibrate about their equilibrium positions once they are part of a molecular bond.

Additional explanation:

(1). The particle separation in a gas is very large because the gas has a very low density, and since particles are not that close together,<em> the strength of forces between particles is very weak</em>.

The liquid is somewhat more denser than the gas and therefore the particle separation is large but less than that in a gas,<em> The strength of forces between particles is still weak but greater than in a gas. </em>

Finally, particle separation in a solid is small because the solid is still more denser than the liquid, and the strength of forces between particles is strong because it's these forces that give a solid its rigid shape.

(2). a.The change of state of a substance in which particles slow down and move close together is called condensation.

b. As the particles move close together, they are occupying less and less volume; therefore, the density is increasing.

(3). The explanation is already given in the answer.

A cue ball has a mass of 0.5 kg. During a game of pool, the cue ball is struck and now has a velocity of 3 . When it strikes a s

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: during the collision between the two balls, the total momentum of the system before the collision and after the collision must be conserved:

$p_i = p_f$
