Kitty [74]

Answer:

2 secs; 65 feet

Explanation:

The function guiding the water bottle is given as:

f(x) = -16t² + 64t + 1

The bottle will reach maximum height when velocity, df/dt (velocity is the first derivative of distance) = 0.

Therefore:

df/dt = 0 = -32t + 64

=> 32t = 64

t = 64/32 = 2 seconds

This is the time it will take to reach the maximum height.

To find this height, we insert t = 2 into the function f(x):

f = -16(2)² + 64(2) + 1

f = -(16 * 4) + 128 + 1

f = -64 + 128 + 1

f = 65 ft

Its maximum height is 65 ft.

The power output of a laser is measured by its wattage, the number of joules of energy it radiates per second (1 W = 1 J s-1). A
viva [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red light, \lambda=676.4\ nm=676.4\times 10^{-9}\ m

Power of the laser, P=300\ mW=0.3\ W

(a) The energy carried by each photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{676.4\times 10^{-9}}  

E=2.94\times 10^{-19}\ J

(b) Let n is the number of photons emitted by the laser per second. It can be calculated as :

n=\dfrac{Power}{Energy\ of\ one\ photon}

n=\dfrac{0.3}{2.94\times 10^{-19}}      

n=1.02\times 10^{18}\ photon/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

MODERN PHYSICS
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D. n=6 to n=2

Explanation:

Given;

energy of emitted photon, E = 3.02 electron volts

The energy levels of a Hydrogen atom is given as;  E = -E₀ /n²

where;

E₀ is the energy level of an electron in ground state =  -13.6 eV

n is the energy level

From the equation above make n, the subject of the formula;

n² = -E₀ / E

n² = 13.6 eV / 3.02 eV

n² = 4.5

n = √4.5

n = 2

When electron moves from higher energy level to a lower energy level it emits photons;

E = E_0(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )\\\\\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{E}{E_o} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{3.02}{13.6} \\\\\frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} =0.222\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.25 - 0.22\\\\\frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.03\\\\n_2^2 = 33.33\\\\n_2 = \sqrt{33.33} = 6

For a photon to be emitted, electron must move from higher energy level to a lower energy level. The higher energy level is 6 while the lower energy level is 2

Therefore,  The electron energy-level transition is from n = 6 to n = 2

True or false: The maximum tensile force a solid, cylindrical wire can withstand increases as the thickness of the wire increase
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The tensile stress, σ, on a solid cylindrical wire is given by the following relationship;

\sigma = \dfrac{F_t}{A_o}

Where;

F_t = The tensile force

A_o = The original cross sectional area of the cylindrical wire = π·R²

R = The radius of the wire

Therefore;

F_t = σ × A_o = σ × π × R²

Therefore, the tensile force is directly proportional to the square of the radius of the cylindrical wire, and as the radius of the wire increases, which is by increasing the thickness of the wire, the tensile force is largely increased

The correct option is; True.
