Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m

odulus of the steel is Y=2.0×10¹¹ pascals. How far ( ΔL) would such a string stretch under a tension of 1500 newtons? Use two significant figures in your answer. Express your answer in millimeters.

Answer:

\Delta L=15\,mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • length of a steel-string, L=1m
  • area of the string, A=0.5\,mm^2
  • Young's modulus of the steel, Y=2\times 10^{11} Pa
  • force of tension on the string, F=1500\,N

We have the relation for change in length:

\Delta L=\frac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\frac{1500\times 1000}{0.5\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{11}}

\Delta L=0.015m

\Delta L=15\,mm

Phương trình chuyển động thẳng đều của một chất điểm có dạng: x = 2t – 10. (x: km, t: h). Quãng đường đi được của chất điểm sau
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Distance cover in 2  hour = 6 kilometer

Explanation:

Given equation:

x = 2t - 10

where

x = kilometer

t = hour

Find:

Distance cover in 2  hour

Computation:

T = 2

So,

x = 2t - 10

x = 2(2) - 10

x = 4 - 10

x = -6

Distance cover in 2  hour = 6 kilometer

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?
Oduvanchick [21]
First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1}  -  \frac{1}{n2} )
We insert the values

a = 2.18 \times  {10}^{ - 18}  \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} }  )
= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
wavelength =  \frac{h \times c}{a}
Finally we insert the values
\frac{6.626 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times 3 \times  {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times  {10}^{ - 18} }  = 9.376 \times  {10}^{ - 8}
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

11. Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're _______ than a refracting telescope.
Anon25 [30]
I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece.  (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build".  (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).

Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium.  However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.
