Two waves have the same wavelength and frequency. how do their speeds compare?

a layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite. the sandstone contains small fragments of the granite. which rock is

lara31 [8.8K]

The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?

Degger [83]

There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

A steel drill making 180 rpm is used to drill a hole in a block of steel. The mass of the steel block and the drill is 180 g. If

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a) 37.8 W

b) 2 Nm

Explanation:

180 g = 0.18 kg

We can also convert 180 revolution per minute to standard angular velocity unit knowing that each revolution is 2π and 1 minute equals to 60 seconds

180 rpm = 180*2π/60 = 18.85 rad/s

We can use the heat specific equation to find the rate of heat exchange of the steel drill and block:

$\dot{E} = mc\Delta \dot{t} = 0.18*420*0.5 = 37.8 J/s$

Since the entire mechanical work is used up in producing heat, we can conclude that the rate of work is also 37.8 J/s, or 37.8 W

The torque T required to drill can be calculated using the work equation

$E = T\theta$

$\dot{E} = T\dot{\theta} = T\omega$

$T = \frac{\dot{E}}{\omega} = \frac{37.8}{18.85} = 2 Nm$

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.
