Answer:

$1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

$\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

A lady bug is sitting on the bottom of a can while you twirl it overhead on a string that is 65.0

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The linear speed of the ladybug is 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the angular speed of the lady bug. This is given by:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

where

T is the period of revolution

The period of revolution is the time taken by the ladybug to complete one revolution: in this case, since it does 1 revolution every second, the period is 1 second:

T = 1 s

Therefore, the angular speed is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{1 s}=6.28 rad/s$

Now we can find the linear speed of the ladybug, which is given by

$v=\omega r$

where:

$\omega=6.28 rad/s$ is the angular speed

r = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m is the distance of the ladybug from the axis of rotation

Substituting, we find

$v=(6.28)(0.65)=4.1 m/s$

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 2.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 225\ Watt$

Use the graph below to answer the following question: if average acceleration is calculated using the equation, “ change in velo

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$a=9\ cm/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration </u>

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>

When $t_2=4\ sec$ , the graph shows a value of $v_2=36\ cm/s$

When $t_1=0\ sec$ , the object is at rest, $v_1=0$

We compute the average acceleration as

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s-0\ cm/s}{4\ sec-0\ sec}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s}{4\ s}$

$\boxed{a=9\ cm/s^2}$
