Answer: 557nm

Explanation:

Visible light has been known to have its wavelengths in the range between 400 to 700 nanometres (nm), or 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 m. This wavelength is between infrared and ultraviolet. Infrared has longer wavelengths and while on the other hand ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths. The wavelength of visible light has a frequency of approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz).

tanΦ= 0.0039/4 = 9.75*10^-4

Φ= tan^-1 (9.75*10^-4)

Φ= 0.056

λ= (5.7*10^-4) * sin 0.056

λ= 5.57*10^-7m

λ= 557nm

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter and spins at 1200 rev/min. What is the centripetal accelerat
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Ac = 36320 m/s^2 = 3702 g

Explanation:

First let's find the linear velocity of the propeller tip.

The angular velocity is 1200 rev/min, which is 20 rev/s

One rev is 2*pi radians, so 20 rev/sec = 40*pi rad/s

To find linear velocity, we multiply the angular velocity by the radius, so:

V = 40*pi * 2.3 = 92*pi m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by Ac = V^2/r, being r the radius. So:

Ac = (92*pi)^2/2.3 = 36320 m/s^2

If g is the gravity acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, we can find Ac in multiples of g by dividing their values:

Ac = 36320/9.81 = 3702 g

What is the power output of an electric motor
8090 [49]
Mass of the block = 2.0 kg
Value of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
Distance upto which the mass is lifted = 15 meters
Time taken to lift the mass of the block = 6.0 seconds
Now we already know
Work Done = Mass * Gravity * Distance
                   = 2 * 9.81 * 15
                   = 294 Joules
Then
Power Output = Work Done/Time
                       = 294/6
                       = 49 Watts
So the power output of the electric motor is 49 watts.The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "4".

A liquid is flowing through a horizontal pipe whose radius is m. The pipe bends straight upward through a height of 10.6 m and j
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Volume flow rate = 1.81 * 10^{-2} meter cube per second

Explanation:

As we know that the

Pressure at the two ends would be the same along with volume of flow.

i.e

P_1 = P_2

and

A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2

Re arranging the file, we get -

V_1 = \frac{A_2 V_2}{A_1}

The flow equation is

\frac{1}{2}\rho * V_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho * V_2^2 + \rho * g * h\\

Substituting the value of V_1 in above equation, we get -

V_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2gh}{(\frac{A_2}{A_1})^2-1} }

Substituting the given values in above equation we get

V_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*10.6}{(\frac{\pi 0.04^2}{\pi 0.02^2} )^2 -1} }\\ V_2 = 3.61 m

Volume flow rate

Q_2 = A_2 V_2\\= \pi r_2^2V_2^2\\= 3.14 * 0.04^2 * 3.61 \\= 1.81 * 10^{-2}
