1). The equation is: (speed) = (frequency) x (wavelength)
Speed = (256 Hz) x (1.3 m) = 332.8 meters per second
2). If the instrument is played louder, the amplitude of the waves increases.
On the oscilloscope, they would appear larger from top to bottom, but the
horizontal size of each wave doesn't change.
If the instrument is played at a higher pitch, then the waves become shorter,
because 'pitch' is directly related to the frequency of the waves, and higher
pitch means higher frequency and more waves in any period of time.
If the instrument plays louder and at higher pitch, the waves on the scope
become taller and there are more of them across the screen.
3). The equation is: Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
(Notice that this is exactly the same as the equation up above in question #1,
only with each side of that one divided by 'wavelength'.)
Frequency = 300,000,000 meters per second / 1,500 meters = 200,000 per second.
That's ' 200 k Hz ' .
Note:
I didn't think anybody broadcasts at 200 kHz, so I looked up BBC Radio 4
on-line, and I was surprised. They broadcast on several different frequencies,
and one of them is 198 kHz !
Answer:
2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w
Explanation:
Assume:
- The cylinder with mass m
- The radius of cylinder R
- Distance traveled down the slope is s
- The angular speed at bottom of slope w
- The slope of the plane θ
- Frictionless surface.
Solution:
- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.
ΔPE = ΔKE
- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.
- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2
- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2
We have:
m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2
2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w
- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g
Answer:
When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)
A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
12.00 min = 0.2 hr
8.00 min = 0.15 hr
Total distance:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) + (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 8.25 km
Average speed:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr + 20.0 km/hr) / 3
= 15 km/hr
Change in position:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) - (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 0.25 km
Average velocity:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr - 20.0 km/hr) / 3
≈ 1.67 m/s
Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.
Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.
Mathematically also potential energy is represented as
Potential energy= mgh
Where m is the mass of the pendulum.
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height from the bottom z the ground.
At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.
The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as
Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2
Where m is the mass of the pendulum
v is the velocity of the pendulum
At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.
Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.
