How is a wavelength measured in a compressional wave?

1 answer:

6 0

A wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction . Let me know if I really help you my friend !

A certain atom has atomic number Z = 25 and atomic mass number A = 52. a. What is the approximate radius of the nucleus of this

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Explanation:

$r=r_o\times A^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r_o=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m$ = Constant for all nuclei

r = Radius of the nucleus

A = Number of nucleons

a) Given atomic number of an element = 25

Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52

$r=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m\times (52)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r=4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=4.6656 fm$

The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) $F=k\times \frac{q_1q_2}{a^2}$

k= $9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2$ = Coulombs constant

$q_1,q_2$ = charges kept at distance 'a' from each other

F = electrostatic force between charges

$q_1=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter

$a=2\times r=2\times 4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=9.3312\times 10^{-15} m$

$F=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{(+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)\times (+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)}{(9.3312\times 10^{-15} m)^2}$

$F=2.6527 N$

The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = v⁰ (its original speed) + a (negative acceleration) X t² (time)

v = 15 - 10 x 1.2 = 15 - 12 = 3 (it's slowing down)
