Answers:

a) 222.22 m/s

b) 800.00 km/h

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=f \lambda

Where:

v is the speed

f=\frac{1}{T} is the frequency, which has an inverse relation with the period T=1 h

\lambda=800 km is the wavelength

Solving with the given units:

v=\frac{1}{T}\lambda

v=\frac{1}{1 h}800 km

v=800.00 km/h This is the speed of the wave in km/h

Transforming this speed to m/s:

v=800.00 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1 h}{3600 s} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}

v=222.22 m/s This is the speed of the wave in m/s

The correct answer is A. He created a way of naming organisms based on genus and species

Explanation:

Carl Linnaeus created a simple but precise system for naming organisms of any species and kind. This system was known as binomial nomenclature and the names of organisms depend on two main elements: the genus and the species. The first element is a broad category that covers species with a common origin, and the second one is the species, which describes organisms that can reproduce and share many common features including DNA sequence. According to this, the correct answer is A.

Consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and the
MissTica

Answer:

V = 10581.59 V

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to take into the relation between the kinetic energy of an electron and the energy generated by the potential difference of an electric field. This relation is given by

E_{k} = E_{V}

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV

where m is the mass of the electron, v is the velocity of the electron, e is the electric charge and V is the potential difference that accelerated the electron.

By taking V from the last expression we have:

V = \frac{mv^{2}}{2e} = \frac{(9.1*10^{-31} )(6.1*10^{7})^{2}}{2*(-1.6*10^{-19})}} = 10581.59 V

where we have taken that

me = 9.1*10^(-31) Kg

e = -1.6*10^(-19) C

v = 6.1*10^(7)

I hope this is useful for you

What is the resistance of a 7 W light bulb connected to a 7 V battery source. The answer key says .39 but not sure how they got
Kitty [74]

Explanation:

Power is current times voltage.

P = IV

And from Ohm's law, voltage is current times resistance.

V = IR

So if we solve for I in Ohm's law and substitute into the power equation:

I = V/R

P = (V/R) V

P = V² / R

Given that P = 7 W and V = 7 V:

7 = 7² / R

R = 7 Ω

Make sure you copied the problem correctly.  If you did, the answer key may be wrong.

A wind generator, such as the one shown , uses the power of wind to generate electricity What do you think is happening inside t
sesenic [268]

Answer:

A wind turbine captures the wind, which then produces a renewable energy source. The wind makes the rotor spin; as the rotor spins, the movement of the blades drives a generator that creates energy. The motion of the blades turning is kinetic energy. It is this power that we convert into electricity.
