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.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The K.E from A to B won't increase...

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

8.) If a car moving at 50km/h skids 15m with locked brakes, how far does the same car moving at 100km/h

pantera1 [17]

(8) A car starting with a speed v skids to a stop over a distance d, which means the brakes apply an acceleration a such that

0² - v² = 2 a d → a = - v² / (2d)

Then the car comes to rest over a distance of

d = - v² / (2a)

Doubling the starting speed gives

- (2v)² / (2a) = - 4v² / (2a) = 4d

so the distance traveled is quadrupled, and it would move a distance of 4 • 15 m = 60 m.

Alternatively, you can explicitly solve for the acceleration, then for the distance:

A car starting at 50 km/h ≈ 13.9 m/s skids to a stop in 15 m, so locked brakes apply an acceleration a such that

0² - (13.9 m/s)² = 2 a (15 m) → a ≈ -6.43 m/s²

So the same car starting at 100 km/h ≈ 27.8 m/s skids to stop over a distance d such that

0² - (27.8 m/s)² = 2 (-6.43 m/s²) d → d ≈ 60 m

(9) Pushing the lever down 1.2 m with a force of 50 N amounts to doing (1.2 m) (50 N) = 60 J of work. So the load on the other end receives 60 J of potential energy. If the acceleration due to gravity is taken to be approximately 10 m/s², then the load has a mass m such that

60 J = m g h

where g = 10 m/s² and h is the height it is lifted, 1.2 m. Solving for m gives

m = (60 J) / ((10 m/s²) (1.2 m)) = 5 kg

(10) Is this also multiple choice? I'm not completely sure, but something about the weight of the tractor seems excessive. It would help to see what the options might be.
