The alpha line in the Balmer series is the transition from n=3 to n=2 and with the wavelength of λ=656 nm = 6.56*10^-7 m. To get the frequency we need the formula: v=λ*f where v is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency, or c=λ*f. c=3*10^8 m/s. To get the frequency: f=c/λ. Now we input the numbers: f=(3*10^8)/(6.56*10^-7)=4.57*10^14 Hz. So the frequency of the light from alpha line is f= 4.57*10^14 Hz.

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.

Do not worry if you don't recognize both parts of the problem at this point. If you recognize the dynamics problem,<span> On the other hand, if you recognize this as a kinematics problem you will quickly see that you need to find angular acceleration before you can begin and so will need to do that pre-step first.</span>

An 1100kg car reached 30m/s in 9s from rest. What force did the engine provide?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

≅3666.67 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's 2nd law, F = ma where F=force applied, m = mass of the object,

a = acceleration acquired by the object.

a= (v-u)/t where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity and t = time taken

calculate a = (30-0)/9 ≅ 3.33 m/s2

Then F = 1100×a = 3666.67 N
