8 0

The transit or passage of a planet across the disk of the Sun may be thought of as a special kind of eclipse. As seen from Earth, only transits of the inner planets Mercury and Venus are possible. Planetary transits are far more rare than eclipses of the Sun by the Moon.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s

insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m$

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 590 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's get the data for this question before proceeding to solve the problems.

Mass of flywheel = 40kg

Speed of flywheel = 590rpm

Diameter = 75cm , radius = diameter/ 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5cm.

Time = 30s = 0.5 min

During the power off, the flywheel made 230 complete revolutions.

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + ω₂) / 2] × 0.5

But ∇θ = 230 revolutions

∇θ/t = (530 + ω₂) / 2

230 / 0.5 = (530 + ω₂) / 2

Solve for ω₂

460 = 295 + 0.5ω₂

ω₂ = 330rpm

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

but α = ?

α = (ω₂ - ω₁) / t

α = (330 - 590) / 0.5

α = -260 / 0.5

α = -520rev/min

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

0 = 590 +(-520)t

520t = 590

solve for t

t = 590 / 520

t = 1.13min

60 seconds = 1min

X seconds = 1.13min

x = (60 × 1.13) / 1

x = 68seconds

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + 0) / 2] × 1.13

∇θ = 333.35 rev/min

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between

Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}$

$a=\mu g$

$a=0.229\times9.8$

$a=2.244\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2-2as$

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

$v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89$

$v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}$

$v=3.56\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

Which describes an atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

negative ion

Explanation:

An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion.

The positively charged particles in an atom are the protons

The negatively charged particles in an atom are the electrons.

The charge an atom carries depends on the balance between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

When the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, the atom is positively charged.
When the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged.
