Answer:

True

Explanation:

All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through empty space. That speed, called the speed of light, is 300 million meters per second (3.0 × 108 m/s).

What solutes do not dissolve well in water?

hammer [34]

Answer:

Many substances do not dissolve in water and that is because they are non-polar and do not interact well with water molecules. A common example is oil and water. Oil contains molecules that are non-polar, thus they do not dissolve in water.

A car tire rotates with an average angular speed of 32 rad/s. In what time interval will the tire rotate 3.5 times? Answer in un

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$\Delta t = 0.687\ s$

Explanation:

given,

Angular speed of the tire = 32 rad/s

Displacement of the wheel = 3.5 rev

Δ θ = 3.5 x 2 π

= 7 π rad

now,

Time interval of the car to rotate 7π rad

using equation

$\omega_{avg} =\dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta t=\dfrac{7\pi}{32}$

$\Delta t = 0.687\ s$

Time taken to rotate 3.5 times is equal to 0.687 s.

The Ha line of the Balmer series is emitted in the transition from n-3 to n 2. Compute the wavelength of this line for H and 2H.

Citrus2011 [14]

Explanation:

According to Rydberg's formula, the wavelength of the balmer series is given by:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})$

R is Rydberg constant for an especific hydrogen-like atom, we may calculate R for hydrogen and deuterium atoms from:

$R=\frac{R_{\infty}}{(1+\frac{m_e}{M})}$

Here, $R_{\infty}$ is the "general" Rydberg constant, $m_e$ is electron's mass and M is the mass of the atom nucleus

For hydrogen, we have, $M=1.67*10^{-27}kg$ :

$R_H=\frac{1.09737*10^7m^{-1}}{(1+\frac{9.11*10^{-31}kg}{1.67*10^{-27}kg})}\\R_H=1.09677*10^7m^{-1}$

Now, we calculate the wavelength for hydrogen:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})\\\lambda=[R_H(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=[1.0967*10^7m^{-1}(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=6.5646*10^{-7}m=656.46nm$

For deuterium, we have $M=2(1.67*10^{-27}kg)$ :

$R_D=\frac{1.09737*10^7m^{-1}}{(1+\frac{9.11*10^{-31}kg}{2*1.67*10^{-27}kg})}\\R_D=1.09707*10^7m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=[R_D(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=[1.09707*10^7m^{-1}(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})]^{-1}\\\lambda=6.5629*10^{-7}=656.29nm$

Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 14.4 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00 ✕ 108

Marina86 [1]

Answer

Given,

Time to hear the clap = 14.4 s

speed of the light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

a) distance where lightning strike

D = s x t

D = 14.4 x 343

D = 4939.2 m

b) No, we do not need to know the value of speed of light. Because we need to calculate the distance where we hear the sound. To calculate that we need to know the speed of sound.
