To solve this problem we will proceed to use Newton's second law for which the mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration (a) is defined as the Force (F) applied on a body, mathematically that is,

F = ma

According to the statement for the first object, the acceleration is,

a = \frac{F}{m} \rightarrow 1^{st} Object

For the second object the acceleration is,

8a = \frac{3F}{m_2} \rightarrow 2^{nd} Object

Solving for the mass of the second object,

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8a}

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8(F/m)}

m_2 = \frac{3}{8}m

Therefore the correct answer is D.

A LED light source contains a 0.5-Watts GaAs (Eg =1.43 eV) LED. Assuming that 0.12% of the electric energy is converted to emiss
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy emitted by  source per second  = .5 J

Eg = 1.43 eV .

Energy converted into radiation = .5 x .12 = .06 J

energy of one photon = 1.43 eV

= 1.43 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

no of photons generated = .06 / 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

wavelength of photon λ = 1275 / 1.43 nm

= 891.6 nm .

momentum of photon = h / λ  ;  h is plank's constant

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 891.6 x 10⁻⁹

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵ J.s

Total momentum of all the photons generated

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵  x 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

= .0194 x 10⁻⁸ Js

b ) spectral width in terms of wavelength = 30 nm

frequency width = ?

n = c / λ  , n is frequency , c is velocity of light and λ is wavelength

differentiating both sides

dn = c x dλ / λ²

given dλ = 30 nm

λ = 891.6 nm

dn = 3 x 10⁸ x 30 x 10⁻⁹ / ( 891.6  x 10⁻⁹ )²

= 11.3 x 10¹² Hz .

c )

10 nW = 10  x 10⁻⁹ W

= 10⁻⁸ W .

energy of 50 dB

50 dB = 5 B

I / I₀ = 10⁵   ;   decibel scale is logarithmic , I is energy of sound having dB = 50 and  I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /s

I = I₀ x 10⁵

= 10⁻¹² x 10⁵

= 10⁻⁷ W

= 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

power required

= 10⁻⁸ + 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

= 11  x 10⁻⁸ W.

plz i need help fast................a motion along a straight line with a constant increase in velocity is ?​
Monica [59]

Answer:

uniform acceleration

Explanation:

The definition for uniform acceleration is:

if an object travels in  a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the acceleration is said to be uniform.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

In order for a person to "see" an object, light waves pass through the ___________.
spayn [35]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. In order for a person to "see" an object, light waves pass through the cornea. The cornea is the transparent layer forming at the front of the eye. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
