Answer:

a) its frequency

Explanation:

The color of visible light depends only on its frequency, not on the amplitude. In fact, the visible light spectrum can be classified into different colors according to the different frequencies:

Violet: 680-790 THz

Blue: 620-680 THz

Cyan: 600-620 THz

Green: 530-600 THz

Yellow: 510-530 THz

Orange: 480-510 THz

Red: 405-480 THz

And the color of the light has nothing to do with the amplitude of the wave. Therefore, the correct answer is

a) its frequency

You have a radioactive sample with a half-life of 1 hour. At t = 1 hour, a Geiger counter measures its radiation at 40 counts/mi

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

The half-life of a radioactive element is

t½ = 1 hr.

At the first hour, the radioactive element has 40 counts/minute

After 4 hours it has 5 counts/minute

So,

We want to filled the table.

0 hours, I.e at the start

40 counts/mins × 2 = 80 counts / mis

First half-life (first hour) is

40 counts/mins

Second half-life (second hour)

40 counts/mins × ½ = 20 counts/mins

Third half-life (third hour)

40 counts/mins × ¼ = 10 counts / mins

Fourth half life (fourth hour)

40 counts/mins × ⅛ = 5 counts / mins

So, the table is

Time........................Geiger Counter Rate

0 hours.................... 80 counts / minutes

1 hour........................ 40 counts / minutes

2 hours..................... 20 counts / minutes

3 hours..................... 10counts / minutes

4 hours...................... 5 counts / minute

Derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a uniform, flat, rectangular plate of dimensions l and w, about an axis through

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A uniform thin rod with an axis through the center

Consider a uniform (density and shape) thin rod of mass M and length L as shown in (Figure). We want a thin rod so that we can assume the cross-sectional area of the rod is small and the rod can be thought of as a string of masses along a one-dimensional straight line. In this example, the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rod and passes through the midpoint for simplicity. Our task is to calculate the moment of inertia about this axis. We orient the axes so that the z-axis is the axis of rotation and the x-axis passes through the length of the rod, as shown in the figure. This is a convenient choice because we can then integrate along the x-axis.

We define dm to be a small element of mass making up the rod. The moment of inertia integral is an integral over the mass distribution. However, we know how to integrate over space, not over mass. We therefore need to find a way to relate mass to spatial variables. We do this using the linear mass density of the object, which is the mass per unit length. Since the mass density of this object is uniform, we can write

λ = m/l (orm) = λl

If we take the differential of each side of this equation, we find

d m = d ( λ l ) = λ ( d l )

since

is constant. We chose to orient the rod along the x-axis for convenience—this is where that choice becomes very helpful. Note that a piece of the rod dl lies completely along the x-axis and has a length dx; in fact,

d l = d x

in this situation. We can therefore write

d m = λ ( d x )

, giving us an integration variable that we know how to deal with. The distance of each piece of mass dm from the axis is given by the variable x, as shown in the figure. Putting this all together, we obtain

I=∫r2dm=∫x2dm=∫x2λdx.

The last step is to be careful about our limits of integration. The rod extends from x=−L/2x=−L/2 to x=L/2x=L/2, since the axis is in the middle of the rod at x=0x=0. This gives us

I=L/2∫−L/2x2λdx=λx33|L/2−L/2=λ(13)[(L2)3−(−L2)3]=λ(13)L38(2)=ML(13)L38(2)=112ML2.

Approximately where is it currently high tide on Earth? Group of answer choices wherever it is currently noon anywhere that ocea

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option D, only on the portion of the Earth facing directly toward the Moon

Explanation:

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of moon. The part of earth that faces the moon experiences the highest gravitational force and hence the high tides will occur in this regions only. The regions that do not faces the moon experiences low tides. It is the gravity of moon that attracts the ocean water towards itself.

Hence, Option D is correct
