Explanation:

The wavelength, λ defined as the total distance traveled by the wave in one full cycle of motion. In other words, wavelength can be given by horizontal distance between repeating units of wave pattern.

Also, the wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs.

λ × f = v

Where,

f = frequency in Hz

v = speed in m/s

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?

Andru [333]

First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
$N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26}$ protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a single proton:
$Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C$

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De

gayaneshka [121]

We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
$F=T-W$
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
$a= \frac{F}{m}$
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
$F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N$
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
$W=mg$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
$m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg$

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.
