As an analogy to wave packets, consider an "automobile packet" that occurs near the scene of an accident on a freeway. The phase

speed is analogous to the speed of individual automobiles as they move through the backup caused by the accident. The group speed can be identified as the speed of the leading edge of the packet of cars. For the automobile packet, which of the following is true? a. The group speed is greater than the phase speed. b. The group speed is the same as the phase speed c. The group speed is less than the phase speed

Answer:

c. The group speed is less than the phase speed.

Explanation:

For an individual the speed is given by v phase = w/k

w is angular frequency and k is wave number.

This is called phase speed. Group speed is the speed of wave packet.The rate of advance of a crest on a single wave point which is fixed phase.

Calculate the lowest energy (in ev) for an electron in an infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the infinite well.

<h3>What is the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well?</h3>
  • It is given that, the infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
  • We have the expression for energy of electron in an infinite well as,

                  E_n=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}

  • where;

                m=9.1*10^{-31}kg\\L=0.050*10^{-3}m\\h=6.63*10^{-34}Js\\n=1

  • Thus, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is,

                E_1=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34})^2}{8*9.1*10^{-31}*(0.050*10^{-3})}=1.2*10^{-33}J

Thus, we can conclude that, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

A stationary 6-kg shell explodes into three pieces. One 4.0 kg piece moves horizontally along the negative x-axis. The other two
natta225 [31]

Answer:

-15 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the 4.0 kg fragment is shown below:

For this question, we use the correlation of the momentum along with horizontal x axis

Given that

Weight of stationary shell = 6 kg

Other two fragments each = 1.0 kg

Angle = 60

Speed = 60 m/s

Based on the above information, the velocity = v is

1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 + 1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 - 4\ v = 0

\frac{60}{2} + \frac{60}{2} - 4\ v = 0

v = \frac{60}{4}

= -15 m/s

If a car changes its velocity from 32 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration?
Stella [2.4K]
Use the equation for the acceleration
A = final velocity - initial velocity divided by time final - time initial
A= 54 - 32 / 8 - 0
A= 22 / 8 
A= 2.75 m/s^2 
Hope this helps!

Which of the following is NOT accelerating?
ivolga24 [154]
I would say the answer to your question is A Ferris wheel turning at a constant speed. The reasoning behind this answer is the fact that traveling in a constant direction at a constant speed is not accelerating. The Ferris wheel is the only option that fits this description. The last option would be incorrect due to independent causes such as speed limit changes as well as turns and stops on the highway.
