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

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.

Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, $Q_H = 1.69\ kJ$

Energy expels, $Q_C = 1.25\ kJ$

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

$\eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100$

$\eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100$

$\eta =26.03 %$

b) Work done by the engine

$W = Q_H- Q_C$

$W =1.69 - 1.25$

$W = 0.44\ kJ$

c) Power output

t = 0.296 s

$P = \dfrac{W}{t}$

$P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}$

$P = 1.486\ kW$

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$

$\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0$

$\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0$

$0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128$

$\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }$

$\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s$

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

How are the land area and the oceans affected during an ice age

The land was frozen everywhere and a part of the ocean froze over to create a bridge between two countries. Some people may disagree with me over the ice bridge, though.
