Answer:

λ = 0.28m

Explanation:

Equation used is v = λf, where v is velocity, λ is wavelength, and f is frequency

We need to find wavelength so rearrange the equation in term of wavelength.

v = λf

λ = f/v

We know that period is the inverse of frequency (f = 1/T), so lets substitute that into our equation

λ = f/v

λ = (1/T)/v

Plug in your the given values given in the question.

We're given v=12m/s and T=3sec

λ = (1/T)/v

λ = (1/3)/12

λ = 1/36 = 0.2777777 = 0.28m

If only 10 pounds is required to lift a 500-lb block, how much chain must be played out to lift the engine 3.0 inches?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\$

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in$

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?

igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m

faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.
