(a) 5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by

c=f \lambda

where

c=3.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem, we are considering light with wavelength of

\lambda=5.50 \cdot 10^{-7} m

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we can find the corresponding frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.50 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz

(b) 1.83\cdot 10^{-15} s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

And using f=5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz as we found in the previous part, we can find the period of this wave:

T=\frac{1}{5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.83\cdot 10^{-15} s

8.)The potential energy of a 40-kg cannonball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?
Delvig [45]

Hey! I empathize with you, as I just started the energy unit in physics as well!

Alright, lets list what we know, and which equation(s) we need.

PE = Gravitational Potential Energy

PEg = mgh

m = mass

g = gravity (9.8 m/s^2)

h = height

Guess what?

We need to find the height!

Lets make this more organized:

Known:

m = 40 kg

PE = 14000

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Unknown:

h = ?

================================

Now, if we take a look at the equation PEg = mgh, you will see that we have everything besides the height! So lets solve for the height by substituting in for the variables we know:

14000 J = 40 kg * (9.8 m/s^2) * h

40 * 9.8 = 392  

14000 J = 392 * h

14000/392 = h

35.71 m = h

There we go! If you simply list what you know and don't know, you will find the equation you need to solve the problem.

Have a great day and good luck!

4. The Mariana trench is in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 11,000 m. The density of seawater is approximatel
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between pressure and density is as follows.

            P = \rho gh

where,    P = pressure

     \rho = density

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              P = \rho gh

                 = 1025 \times 9.8 \times 11000

                 = 110495000 Pa

Now, relation between pressure and force is as follows.

                P = \frac{F}{A}

or,            F = PA

                F = 110495000 \times \pi \times (0.1)^{2}

                   = 3.47 \times 10^{6} N

Thus, we can conclude that a force of 3.47 \times 10^{6} N can be  experienced at such depth.

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.
