Answer:

Compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em>.

Explanation:

The reason to why the light energy that is momentarily absorbed in glass and then re-emitted, compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> is because the wavelength of the absorbed light and the re-emitted light is the same. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the wave are connected via the speed of light:

<em>c = fλ</em>

<em>where</em>

  • <em>c is the speed of light</em>
  • <em>f is the frequency of light </em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength of the light</em>

Though light does not have mass, it does have energy and it's energy is conserved. Therefore, in the conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed light must be equal to the re-emitted light. This is why the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> as the frequency of the absorbed light.

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m
belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36  

U = 0.000027 J

U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at v_c = 23m/s speed is

s_c = \Delta t v_c = 23\Delta t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at m_m = 23 m/s speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is

s_m = \Delta t v_m + a\Delta t^2/2

s_m = 23\Delta t + 8\Delta t^2/2 = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:

s_m = s_c + 58

23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2 = 23\Delta t + 58

4 \Delta t^2 = 58

\Delta t^2 = 14.5

\Delta t = \sqrt{14.5} = 3.807s

(b)

s_m = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

s_m = 23*3.807 + 58 = 145.581 m
