What vertical distance Δy does a free-falling particle travel from the moment it starts to the moment it reaches a speed of 7.9

m/s if it starts from rest? Work out your solution using one of the equations for vertical motion with constant acceleration, specifically, v2f=v2i+2aΔy, where vi and vf are the particle’s initial and final speeds, respectively, and a is the particle’s acceleration.

Answer:

3.2 m

Explanation:

The equation to use to solve this problem is:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a \Delta y

where

v_f is the final velocity

v_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

\Delta y is the distance covered

For the particle in free-fall in this problem, we have

v_i = 0 (it starts from rest)

v_f = 7.9 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

By re-arranging the equation, we can find the distance travelled:

\Delta y = \frac{v_f^2 -v_i^2}{2a}=\frac{(7.9 m/s)^2-0^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=3.2 m

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w
Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater
