Answer:

Speed, v=1.86\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

A light wave is described by the following function as :

E(x,t)=A\ cos[(1.57\times 10^7)x-(2.93\times 10^{15})t].....(1)

The general equation of wave is given by :

E=Acos(kx-\omega t)........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2)

k=(1.57\times 10^7)

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=(1.57\times 10^7)

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.57\times 10^7)}

Wavelength, \lambda=4.002\times 10^{-7}\ m

\omega=(2.93\times 10^{15})

\dfrac{2\pi}{T}=(2.93\times 10^{15})

\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{(2.93\times 10^{15})}{2\pi}

Frequency, f=4.66\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Let v is the speed of the light wave. It is given by :

v=f\times \lambda

v=4.66\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 4.002\times 10^{-7}\ m

v=1.86\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the light wave is 1.86\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An emf of 28.0 mV is induced in a 501 turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 12.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux th
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵  Wb

Explanation:

The inductance of a coil is given as

L = e/(di/dt) ..................... Equation 1

Where L = inductance of the coil, e = induced e.m.f, di/dt = rate of change of current in the coil.

Also,

The inductance of each turn of the coil when a magnetic field is step up in the coil  is

L = NΦ/i ................. Equation 2

Where N = number of turns, Φ = magnetic field, i = current.

equating equation 1 and equation 2

e/(di/dt) = NΦ/i

making Φ the subject of the equation,

Φ = (e×i)/N.(di/dt) .................. Equation 3

Given: e = 28.0 mV = 0.028 V, N = 501 turns, di/dt = 12.0 A/s, i = 4.00 a

Substitute into equation 3,

Φ = (0.028×4)/(12×501)

Φ = 0.112/2004

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Weber

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb

Given the information below, estimate the total distance travelled during these 6 seconds using a left endpoint approximation. t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

184 feets

Explanation:

Given the data:

time (sec) __ velocity (ft/sec)

0 __________30

1 __________ 54

2 __________56

3 __________34

4 __________ 8

5 __________ 2

6 __________22

Using left end approximation:

(0,1) ___ f(0) = 30

(1,2) ___ f(1) = 54

(2,3) ___f(2) = 56

(3,4) ___f(3) = 34

(4,5) ___f(4) = 8

(5,6) __ f(5) = 2

Hence, the Total distance traveled during the 6 second interval is:

Change ; dT = 1

1 * (30 + 54 + 56 + 34 + 8 + 2) = 184

a man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high. he throws a stone upward vertically with an intial velocity of 10 m/s
alex41 [277]

Answer:

h = 90.10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, h₀ = 85 m

The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

The path followed by the projectile is given by :

h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85 ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt = 0

So,

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s

Put the value of t in equation (1).

h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m

So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.
