Answer:

240m/s

Explanation:

The equation to calculate is wavelength= velocity/ frequency so to find the velocity you would have to multiply frequency by wavelength.

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

If an object has a high density then the molicules making up that object are closly packed togeather. Because of this, objects with a higher density will have more mass than objects of the same size that have a lesser density.

A motorcycle has a mass of 2.50×10^2. A constant force is exerted on it for 60.0s. The motorcycles initial velocity is 6.00 m/s

Margarita [4]

The change in momentum is 5500 kg m/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum of an object is given by

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem, we have:

$m=2.50\cdot 10^2 kg$ (mass of the motorcycle)

$v=28.0 m/s$ (final velocity)

$u=6.0 m/s$ (initial velocity)

Therefore, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p=(2.50\cdot 10^2)(28.0-6.0)=5500 kg m/s$

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t $_{min$ = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2(1.20)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2.4

t $_{min$ = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t $_{min$ = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 4(1.50)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 6

t $_{min$ = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

A ball is thrown at an angle of 38° to the horizontal. What happens to the

finlep [7]

Answer:

Vy = V0 sin 38 where Vy is the initial vertical velocity

The ball will accelerate downwards (until it lands)

Note the signs involved if Vy is positive then g must be negative

The acceleration is constant until the ball lands

t (upwards) = (0 - Vy) / -g = Vy / g final velocity = 0

t(downwards = (-Vy - 0) / -g = Vy / g final velocity = -Vy

time upwards = time downwards (conservation laws)

7.22 Ignoring reflection at the air–water boundary, if the amplitude of a 1 GHz incident wave in air is 20 V/m at the water surf

Serga [27]

Answer:

z = 0.8 (approx)

Explanation:

given,

Amplitude of 1 GHz incident wave in air = 20 V/m

Water has,

μr = 1

at 1 GHz, r = 80 and σ = 1 S/m.

depth of water when amplitude is down to 1 μV/m

Intrinsic impedance of air = 120 π Ω

Intrinsic impedance of water = $\dfrac{120\pi}{\epsilon_r}$

Using equation to solve the problem

$E(z) = E_0 e^{-\alpha\ z}$

E(z) is the amplitude under water at z depth

E_o is the amplitude of wave on the surface of water

z is the depth under water

$\alpha = \dfrac{\sigma}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{\Epsilon_r}}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{80}}$

$\alpha =21.07\ Np/m$

now ,

$1 \times 10^{-6} = 20 e^{-21.07\times z}$

$e^{21.07\times z}= 20\times 10^{6}$

taking ln both side

21.07 x z = 16.81

z = 0.797

z = 0.8 (approx)
