Answer:

0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

Scientific notation allows us to write very large or very small numbers in abbreviated form. This notation simply consists of multiplying by a power of base 10 with a positive or negative exponent.

A number written in scientific notation has the form:

a*10ⁿ

where:

  • the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a <10
  • n is an integer.  Represents the number of times the decimal point is shifted. It is always a whole number, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

So to write the number 0.000000002 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:

  • The decimal point is moved to the right as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit.
  • This number is then written, which will be the coefficient a in the expression of the previous product. So a=2.0
  • The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the comma moves. So n=9. But this is a negative number because the comma shifts to the right.

So, you get: <u><em>0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m</em></u>

A hydraulic turbine is used to generate power by using the water in a dam. The elevation difference between the free surfaces up
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.906

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. We can calculate the rate of change in potential energy when m = 201kg of water is falling down a distance of h = 131m per second

\dot{E_p} = \dot{m}gh = 201*9.81*131 = 258307 J/s (W) = 258.307 kW

So the efficiency of the water turbine is the ratio of output power over input power:

\frac{234}{258.307} = 0.906

I need to Swap the convergent lens to a menisc Congergent one And make a graph like the attached photo
weeeeeb [17]

A convergent meniscus lens is a lens that is composed of two spherical surfaces, like the on shown next:

The imaginary line that runs through the middle of the lens is the "symmetry axis".

In this type of lenses incident parallel beams of light converge in one point, as follows:

And thus we get the diagram.

According to the equation for the Balmer line spectrum of hydrogen, a value of n = 3 gives a red spectral line at 656.3 nm, a va
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁶ kJ,  E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁶ kJ and  E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

Explanation:

They give us some spectral lines of the Balmer series, let's take the opportunity to place the values in SI units

     n = 3        λ = 656.3 nm = 656.3 10⁻⁹ m

     n = 4        λ = 486.1 nm = 486.1 10⁻⁹ m

     n = 5        λ=434.0 nm = 434.0 10⁻⁹ m

Let's use the Planck equation

     E = h f

The speed of light equation

   c = λ f

replace

    E = h c /λ

Where h is the Planck constant that is worth 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s and c is the speed of light that is worth 3 10⁸ m / s

Let's calculate the energies

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / λ

     E = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /λ

n = 3

    E3 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ / 656.3 10⁻⁹

    E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁹ J

    1 kJ = 10³ J

    E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

n = 4

    E4 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /486.1 10⁻⁹

    E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

n = 5

    E5 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /434.0 10⁻⁹

    E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁶ kJ
