Answer:

3.82 Hertz

Explanation:

y = 2.5 Sin\left (3x-24t+\frac{\pi }{2}  \right )

This is the equation of a wave which varies sinusoidally.

The standard equation of a wave is given by

y = A Sin\left ( kx-\omega t+\phi  \right )

where, A be the amplitude of the wave, k be the wave number, x be the displacement of wave, ω be the angular frequency and t be the time taken, and Ф be the phase angle.

now compare the given equation by the standard equation, we get

k = 3

ω = 24

Ф = π / 2

So, the angular frequency = 24

The relation between the angular frequency and the frequency is given by

ω = 2 x π x f

24 = 2 x 3.14 x f

f = 3.82 Hertz

Delicious77 [7]
Before answering this question, you must know the concept between extensive and intensive property. The extensive property does not depend on the amount of substance (like mass), which is the opposite of intensive properties. From the given choices, the rest are extensive properties except for <em>amount of matter</em>. Hence, that is the answer.

Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

The normal is a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The normal line is defined as the line which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point where the incident ray meet with the reflecting surface.

The angle of incident is defined as the angle which is subtended by the incident ray with respect to the normal ray by consider the normal ray as the base line and angle is measured from the point where incident ray is incident on the reflecting surface of the mirror.

Similarly reflecting ray can be defined as the ray which is reflected after the incident of a ray and the angle subtended by the reflecting ray is measure with respect to normal ray by considering normal ray as a base line.

Therefore, the normal ray is the perpendicular line to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.

borishaifa [10]

\lambda_\text{max} = 2.63\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The peak emission wavelength of an object depends on its absolute temperature.

\lambda_\text{max} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{T},

where

  • \lambda_\text{max} is the wavelength in meters where the emission is the strongest.
  • T is the temperature of the object in degrees Kelvins.

For the gas falling into the black hole,

T = 1.10\times 10^{6}\;\text{K}.

Apply the formula:

\lambda_\text{max} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{T} = \dfrac{2.90\times 10^{-3}}{1.10\times 10^{6}} = 2.64\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m} = 2.64 \;\text{nm}.

The question mentioned that \lambda_\text{max} is in the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the wavelength of X-rays range from 10^{-8}\;\text{m}=10\;\text{nm} to 10^{-10}\;\text{m} = 0.1\;\text{nm}, which indeed includes 2.64\times 10^{-9}\;\text{m} = 2.64 \;\text{nm}.
