We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to 10^{-10} m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around 10 ^ 0 to 10 ^ 1 m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.

A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the s
leonid [27]

Complete question is;

A force stretches a wire by 0.60 mm. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

a) How far will it be stretched by the same force?

b) A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?

Answer:

0.15 mm

Explanation:

According to Hooke's Law,

E = Stress(σ)/Strain(ε)

Where E is youngs modulus

Formula for stress is;

Stress(σ) = Force(F)/Area(A)

Formula for strain is;

Strain(ε) = Change in length/original length = (Lf - Li)/Li

We are also told that a second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

Thus;

Rearranging Hooke's Law to get the constants on one side, we have;

F/(AE) = ε

Thus from the conditions given;

ε1 = 0.6/Li

ε2 = (Change in length)/(2*Li)

And ε1 = ε2

Thus;

0.6/Li = Change in length/(2*Li)

Li will cancel out and we now have;

Change in length = 2 × 0.6 = 1.2 mm

Finally, we are told A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first.

Area of a circle;A1 = πd²/4

Now, we are told d is doubled.

Thus, new area of the new circle is;

A2 = π(2d)²/4 = πd²

Rearranging Hooke's Law,we have;

F/A = εE

Since F and E are now constants, we have;

F/E = constant = Aε

Thus;

A1(ε1) = A2(ε2)

A1 = πd²/4

e1 = 0.60/Li

A2 = πd²

e2 = Change in length/Li

Thus;

((πd²/4) × 0.6)/Li = (πd² × Change in length)/ Li

Rearranging, Li and πd² will cancel out to give;

0.6/4 = Change in length

Change in length = 0.15 mm

Amadeo the Archer is practicing his archery skills. He shoots both arrows into a field. His first arrow (arrow A) is embedded ha
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1

The arrow with greater impart is Arrow B

2

The both arrows will feel the same impulse

Explanation:

1. Arrow B since KE= W = F * d  it used more force to stop itself in a shorter distance.

2. They should feel the same impulse since the both had the same momentum    m * v= F * t

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.
