trapecia [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

So the answer would be water based on the evidence shown below.

Explanation:

Mercury is a poor conductor of heat but good for electricity, water is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity, wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and glass is probably the worst conductor of heat.

tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

a.

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m  ⇒  λ = 647.2 nm

b.

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl
Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Answer:

Geometrical optics, or ray optics, describes the propagation of light in terms of "rays" which travel in straight lines, and whose paths are governed by the laws of reflection and refraction at interfaces between different media.

What tension would you need to make a middle c (261.6 hz) fundamental mode on a 1 m string (for example, on a harp)? the linear
Allisa [31]
The frequency of middle C on a string is
f = 261.6 Hz.

The given linear density is
ρ = 0.02 g/cm = (0.02 x 10⁻³ kg)/(10⁻² m)
   = 0.002 kg/m

The length of the string is L = 1 m.

Let T =  the tension in the string (N).
The velocity of the standing wave is
v= \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} }

In the fundamental mode, the wavelength, λ, is equal to the length, L.
That is
Because v = fλ, therefore
\sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} } =f \lambda = fL \\\\ \frac{T}{\rho} = (fL)^{2} \\\\ T = \rho (fL)^{2}

From given information, obtain
T = (0.002 kg/m)*(261.6 1/s)²*(1 m)²
   = 136.87 N

Answer: 136.9 N (nearest tenth)
