Can a runner on a track be accelerating even if she is running at a constant speed why or why not

1 answer:

6 0

If the runner is running in a circular track then yes when something or someone is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed they are indeed accelerating. They’re accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Pulleys accomplish 2 separate operations throughout the computer controlled additional benefit technologies listed elsewhere here.

Explanation:

If indeed the pulley would be connected to that same attachment point, these are named a corrected pendulum or perhaps a change in direction. Its job should be to reverse the trajectory of that same rope pull.
Unless the pulley would be connected to that same load, this same pulley seems to be a detachable as well as a mechanical additional benefit.

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located

const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

$v = \lambda f$

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

$\lambda = 2.5 m$

$f = 10 Hz$

now speed of the wave is given as

$v = 10(2.5)$

$v = 25 m/s$

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

$t = \frac{L}{v}$

$t = \frac{5}{25}$

$t = 0.2 s$

A hamster eats a carrot before using its hamster wheel. The hamster wheel is connected to a generator which powers a light bulb.

Andrei [34K]

Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

Explanation:

First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.

Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.

And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.

Then the correct option is:

Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

What is the wavelength, in nm, of the line in the hydrogen spectrum when one n value is 3 and the other n value is 6?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

$\lambda=1090nm$

Explanation:

Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})$

Where $R_H$ is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and $n_1$ , $n_2$ are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.10*10^{7}m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{6^2})\\\frac{1}{\lambda}=9.17*10^{5}m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.09*10^{6}m^{-1}}\\\lambda=1.09*10^{-6}m*\frac{10^{9}nm}{1m}\\\lambda=1090nm$
