A wave has a period of 2 seconds and a wavelength of 4 meters calculate its frequency and speed

1 answer:

5 0

-- Frequency = 1/period = 1/2sec = 1/2 per sec = <em>1/2 Hz</em>.

-- Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (4 m) x (1/2 per second) = <em>2 m/sec</em>

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm = $15 \times 10^{-15}$ m

we use here energy conservation

$K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}$

there will be some initial kinetic energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

$K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}$

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

$KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$KE_{i} = 35.33$ J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2 e

and gains kinetic energy K =e∆V ..........(ii)

by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the ${238}_U$ nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V = 35.33 Me V

$\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2} MV\\\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

kipiarov [429]

Answer: C. Metal transfers heat away from the skin by conduction, creating the sensation of coolness.

Explanation: The skin releases heat into the metal bowl since there is a difference in temperature between the two objects. So heat is taken away from the hand abd transfers into the metal bowl by conduction creating a cooler sensation.

It takes you 8.3 min to walk with an average velocity of 1.6 m/s to the north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. How far

Anarel [89]

solution:

1.6 m/s = 96 m/min (in other words, 1.6 m/s x 60 s/min)

96 m/min x 8.3 min = 796.8 m

$s=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2\\there is no accleration mentioned so,\\s= uv\\8.3\times60=498(s)\\510\times1.6=816(m)$
