Answer:

The photon has a wavelength of $1.5x10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

The speed of a wave can be defined as:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (1)

Where v is the speed, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Equation 1 can be expressed in the following way for the case of an electromagnetic wave:

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light.

Therefore, $\lamba$ $\lambda$ can be isolated from equation 2 to get the wavelength of the photon.

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$ (3)

$\lambda = \frac{3.00x10^{8}m/s}{2.00x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 1.5x10^{-6}m$

Hence, the photon has a wavelength of $1.5x10^{-6}m$

<em>Summary: </em>

Photons are the particles that constitutes light.

mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest

zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s$

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta p$ is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

$\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s$ is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

$F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N$

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

Paul and Ivan are riding a tandem bike together. They’re moving at a speed of 5 meters/second. Paul and Ivan each have a mass of

Sonbull [250]

The formula is Ke = 1/2 m v^2
The two of them together have a Ke of mv^2. So you either increase m or v. That's what makes the problem difficult. He can do D or B. We have to choose.

A is no solution. The Ke goes down because Paul loses Ivan's mass.
C is out of the question 3 meters/sec is a big reduction from 5 m/s. So now what do we do about B and D?

The question is what does the third person add. The tandoms I've peddled only allow for 1 or 2 people to add to the motion. So the third person only adds mass. He does not have a v that he is contributing to. To say that he is going 5m/s is true, but he's not contributing anything to that motion.

I pick B, but it is one of those questions that the correctness of it is in the head of the proposer. Be prepared to get it wrong. Argue the point politely if you agree with me, but back off as soon as you have presented your case.

B <<<<====== answer.
