$Given:\\f=10^{16}Hz\\c=3\cdot 10^8\frac{m}{s} \\\\Find:\\\lambda =?\\\\Solution:\\\\\lambda = \frac{c}{f} \\\\\lambda= \frac{3\cdot 10^8\frac{m}{s}}{10^{16}Hz} =3\cdot 10^{-8}m = 30nm$

One difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis

artcher [175]

A hypothesis is a tentative statement which is made to try to explain a known phenomenon but whose truth value is still uncertain, whether it is true or no depends on further research. On the other hand, a theory is made up of hypothesis which have been proven to be true so far, a theory should be able to explain future phenomena successfully

Two wheels with fixed hubs and radii 0.51 m and 1.9 m, each having a mass of 3 kg, start from rest. Forces 5 N and F2 are applie

Katarina [22]

Answer:

18.63 N

Explanation:

Assuming that the sum of torques are equal

Στ = Iα

First wheel

Στ = 5 * 0.51 = 3 * (0.51)² * α

On making α subject of formula, we have

α = 2.55 / 0.7803

α = 3.27

If we make the α of each one equal to each other so that

5 / (3 * 0.51) = F2 / (3 * 1.9)

solve for F2 by making F2 the subject of the formula, we have

F2 = (3 * 1.9 * 5) / (3 * 0.51)

F2 = 28.5 / 1.53

F2 = 18.63 N

Therefore, the force F2 has to 18.63 N in order to impart the same angular acceleration to each wheel.

The orbital period of a satellite is 2 × 106 s and its total radius is 2.5 × 1012 m. The tangential speed of the satellite, writ

LenaWriter [7]

The orbital period of the satellite[T] is given as $2*10^{6} S$ .

The radius of the satellite is given [R] $2.5*10^{12} m$ .

we are asked here to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite.

Before going to get the solution first we have understand the tangential speed.

The tangential speed of a satellite is given as the speed required to keep the satellite along the orbit. If satellite speed is less than tangential speed,there is the chance of it falling down towards earth. If it is more,then it will deviate from it orbit and can't stick to the orbit further.In a simple way the tangential speed is the linear speed of an object in a circular path.

Now we have to calculate the tangential speed [V].

Mathematically the tangential speed [V] written as -

V $=\frac{2\pi R}{T}$
