Answer:

fixed frame of reference on Earth

Explanation:

When speaking in daily life or in a written problem, in general we assume a fixed frame of reference on Earth, so that the speeds of objects are referred to Earth.

In some cases we talk about other frames of reference, but these are explicitly written.

It should be mentioned that all the reference frames are inertial, that is, with zero acceleration, in order to comply with Newton's second law

Frame of reference, in simplest terms, describes the state of motion of the observer. The frame of reference may also be described by using a set of coordinates, time and motion. We formulate all our equations and solve them using the frame of reference.

Se lanza verticalmente una esfera con una rapidez de 30m/se. Determinar la rapidez de la esfera a una altura de 40m (g=10m/s2)

sergeinik [125]

$v^2-{v_0}^2=2a(x-x_0)$

dónde $v$ es la velocidad de la esfera, $v_0$ es suya velocidad inicial, $a=-g$ la aceleración debida a la gravedad, $x$ la posición, y $x_0$ la posición inicial. Tomamos $x_0=0\,\mathrm m$ a referirse a la posición de la esfera en el momento que la esfera fue lanzada.

Entonces

$v^2-\left(30\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(40\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v^2=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}\implies v=\pm10\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

Esto nos dice que la esfera alcanza una altura de 40 m en dos momentos - una vez hacia arriba y una vez hacia abajo. Sin embargo, independientemente del signo de la velocidad, sabemos que suya magnitud es 10 m/s, y así tenemos una rapidez de 10 m/s también en ambos momentos.

A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 6.0 mm) has a nonuniform volume charge density given by αr2, where α = 6.2 mC/m5 and r

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 2.80 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder

non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,

∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0

E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0

E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0

E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)

E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C

A baseball is released at rest from the top of the Washington Monument. It hits the ground after falling for 6 s. What was the h

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Time taken (t) = 6 sec

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

Total height (s)

Computation:

s = ut + [1/2]gt²

s = (0)(6) + [1/2][9.8][6²]

s = 176.4 m

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom gives energy by the equation

$E_{n}$ = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n²)

Where k is the Coulomb constant, e and m the charge and mass of the electron respectively and n is an integer

The Planck equation

E = h f

The speed of light is

c = λ f

E = h c /λ

For a transition between two states we have

$E_{n}$ - $E_{m}$ = - k²e² / 2m (1 / $n_{f}$ ² -1 / $n_{i}$ ²)

h c / λ = -k² e² / 2m (1 / $n_{f}$ ² - 1/ $n_{i}$ ²)

1 / λ = (- k² e² / 2m h c) (1 / $n_{f}$ ² - 1/ $n_{i}$ ²)

The Rydberg constant with a value of 1,097 107 m-1 is the result of the constant in parentheses

Let's calculate the emission of the transition

1 /λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/10² - 1/8²)

1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.01 - 0.015625)

1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

All of the following steps are included in a self-modification program except __________. A. specifying target behavior B. desig

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

C)focusing on one goal at a time

Explanation:

Self-modification programs could be regarded as a program that help individual in managing unwanted as well as dysfunctional behavioral responses whenever they are going through a problem and try to deal with it. For instance the dysfunctional behavioral response for someone with a panic attack is avoidance. Some of the the steps that are involved in in a self-modification program are;

✓ specifying target behavior ✓designing a program

✓ gathering data about target behavior
