Answer:

A) λ = 548 nm.

B ) 5.474 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

Explanation:

Distance between two slits ( d ) =.044 x 10⁻³

Distance of screen ( D ) = 6.5 m

Fringe width is given by the expression

Fringe width = λ D /d

where λ is wave length of light .

Given fringe width = 8.1 cm

Putting the values in the equation , we have

8.1 x 10⁻² = λ x 6.5 / .044 x 10⁻³

\lambda = \frac{8.1\times10^{-2}\times.044\times10^{-3}}{6.5}

λ = 548 nm.

Frequency of light = velocity of light / wavelength

3 x 10⁸ / 548 x 10⁻⁹

= 5.474 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

A 45 g bullet strikes and becomes embedded in a 1.55 kg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the gun. I
zimovet [89]

Answer:

299.51 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 45 g = 0.045 kg

M = mass of the block = 1.55 kg

v = muzzle speed of the bullet

V = speed of bullet-block combination after the collision

μ = Coefficient of friction between the block and the surface = 0.28

d = distance traveled by the block = 13 m

V' = final speed of the bullet-block combination = 0 m/s

acceleration of the bullet-block combination due to frictional force is given as

a = - μg

using the kinematics equation

V'² = V² + 2 a d

0² = V² + 2 (- μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (0.28) (9.8) (13)

V = 8.45 m/s

Using conservation of momentum for collision between bullet and block

mv = (M + m) V

(0.045) v = (1.55 + 0.045) (8.45)

v = 299.51 m/s

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

v = 14 ft/s

Explanation:

  • By definition, the average velocity, is just the rate of change of the position, with respect to time, which can be written as follows:

       v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_{f}-x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}  (1)

  • Defining the vertical position as the y-coordinate, with the origin at ground level, and the upward direction as positive, we can write (1) as follows:

       v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta t} = \frac{y_{f}-y_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}  (2)

  • where yf = 54 ft, y₀ = 47 ft, tif = 1.5 s, t₀ = 1s.
  • Replacing in (2) we get:

       v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta t} = \frac{y_{f}-y_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}} = \frac{7ft}{0.5s} = 14 ft/s (3)
