For forces and motion, what is one force that is acting on us right now?

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng

klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

$2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Wavelength:

$4.24x10^{-7}m$

Frequency:

$4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

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

$v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}$

$v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of $2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength

Then, $\nu$ wil be isolated from equation 2.

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express $\lamba$ in units of meters.

$\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm}$ ⇒ $6.328x10^{-7}m$

$\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of $4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$

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

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

$\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m$

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of $4.24x10^{-7}m$

The relationship between body mass body weight and body density

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The formula for calculating Density is:

= Mass / Volume

From this formula, we can say that the relationship between Mass and Density is a direct one. In other words, if mass is increasing - all else being equal - then density will increase as well.

If mass however was decreasing, density would have to decrease as well.

For example, assume 3 bricks have masses of 5kg, 10kg and 15kg. Also assume that the bricks all have the same volume of 5 m³.

Density of 5kg brick = 5 / 5 = 1 kg/m³

Density of 10kg brick = 10 / 5 = 2kg / m³

Density of 15kg brick = 15 / 5 = 3 kg /m³

<em>Notice how density increases as mass increases and decreases when mass decreases. </em>

A child is on a sled moving down a hill at 27.6 m/s. The combined mass of the sled and child is 60.6 kg. The momentum of the chi

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 60.6 × 27.6
