Musya8 [376]

Answer: 0.09 m

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration in terms of tangential speed is:

a_c=\frac{v^2_t}{r}

where r is the radius.

It is given that,

centripetal acceleration of the mouse, a_c=0.29 m/s^2

tangential speed , v_t=0.17m/s

Radius of salami is:

r =\frac{(0.17m/s)^2}{0.29 m/s^2}=0.09m

Thus, the radius of the salami is 0.09 m.

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation E_p=h f, where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of E_N=N h f.

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by f=\frac{c}{\lambda}, so we have E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}, where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is P=E/t, so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be E_N.

Putting this paragraph in equations:

E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J.

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}
