(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:

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

A test charge of -3x10^-7 C is located 7 cm to the right of a charge of -9x10^-6 C and 20 cm to the left of a charge of +10x10^-

musickatia [10]

Answer:

5.634 N rightwards

Explanation:

qo = - 3 x 10^-7 C

q1 = - 9 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 10 x 10^-6 C

r1 = 7 cm = 0.07 m

r2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The force on test charge due to q1 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{1}=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{0}}{r_{1}^{2}}$

F1 = (9 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.07 x 0.07)

F1 = 4.959 N rightwards

The force on test charge due to q2 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{2}=\frac{Kq_{2}q_{0}}{r_{2}^{2}}$

F2 = (9 x 10^9 x 10 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.2 x 0.2)

F2 = 0.675 N rightwards

Net force on the test charge

F = F1 + F2 = 4.959 + 0.675 = 5.634 N rightwards

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The Ranking of the curve according to their speed would be equal Rank because $v_1 =v_2 =v_3$

b

The first frequency would have a higher rank compared to the other two which will have the same ranking when ranked with respect to their angular velocities because

$w_1 >w_2 = w_3$

c

The ranking of the second third frequency would be the same but their ranking would be greater than that of the first frequency because

$r_2 =r_3 >r_1$

Explanation:

Mathematically Frequency can be represented as

$F = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength and v is the velocity

Now looking at the diagram we see that

For the first frequency we have

Let the wavelength be $\lambda_1 = \lambda$ , and the frequency $F_1 = F$

For the second frequency

Let the wavelength be $\lambda_2 = 2 \lambda$ , and the frequency $F_2 = \frac{F}{2}$

For the third frequency

Let the wavelength be $\lambda_3 = 2\lambda$ , and the frequency $F_3 = \frac{F}{2}$

To obtain v for each of the frequency we make v the subject in the equation above for each frequency

So,

For the first frequency we have

$v_1 = \lambda_1 F_1 = \lambda F$

For the second frequency

$v_2 = \lambda_2 F_2 = 2 \lambda*\frac{F} {2} = \lambda F$

For the third frequency

$v_3 = \lambda_3 F_3 = 2 \lambda*\frac{F} {2} = \lambda F$

Hence

The Ranking of the curve according to their speed would be equal Rank because $v_1 =v_2 =v_3$

Mathematically angular speed can be represented as

$w = 2 \pi f$

For the first frequency we have

$w_1 = 2\pi F_1 = 2 \pi F$

For the second frequency

$w_2 = 2 \pi F_2 = 2 \pi \frac{F}{2} = \pi F$

For the third frequency

$w_3 = 2 \pi F_3 = 2 \pi \frac{F}{2} = \pi F$

Hence

The first frequency would have a higher rank compared to the other two which will have the same ranking when ranked with respect to their angular velocities because

$w_1 >w_2 = w_3$

Mathematically the relationship between the angular velocity and the linear velocity can be represented as

$v = wr$

=> $r = \frac{v}{w}$

Since the linear velocity is constant we have that

$r \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{w}$

This means that r varies inversely to the angular velocity ,What this means for ranking due to the radius is that the ranking of the second third frequency would be the same but their ranking would be greater than that of the first frequency because

$r_2 =r_3 >r_1$

In a wire, when elongation is 4 cm energy stored is E. if it is stretched by 4 cm,

Serga [27]

Answer:

4E

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial elongation (e₁) = 4 cm = 4/100 = 0.04 m

Initial energy (E₁) = E

Final elongation (e₂) = 0.04 + 0.04 = 0.08 m

Final energy (E₂) =?

The energy stored in a s spring is given by:

E = ½Ke²

Where

E => is the energy

K => is the spring constant

e => is the elongation

From:

E = ½Ke²

Energy is directly proportional to the elongation. Thus,

E₁/e₁² = E₂/e₂²

With the above formula, we can obtain the final energy as follow:

Initial elongation (e₁) = 0.04 m

Initial energy (E₁) = E

Final elongation (e₂) = 0.08 m

Final energy (E₂) =?

E₁/e₁² = E₂/e₂²

E / 0.04² = E₂ / 0.08²

E / 0.0016 = E₂ / 0.0064

Cross multiply

0.0016 × E₂ = 0.0064E

Divide both side by 0.0016

E₂ = 0.0064E / 0.0016

E₂ = 4E

Therefore, the final energy is 4 times the initial energy i.e 4E

a banana boat accelerates from 4.167 m/s ar 2.00m/s^2.How far has it traveled when it reaches 8.333 m/s

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: The distance that we'll be travelled is d=16.35m

Explanation: The main idea here is to use the equation of motion. We are given the acceleration of 2m/s^2,the initial and final velocies. The formula to use is v^2=u^2+2as. Now we have to substitute the values.

2^2= 8.33^2+2(2)d

d= 16.35m
