5 0
The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. ... The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?
NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

v=\nu\times \lambda

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 368 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 164 km above at its closes
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a) 6636 km

b) 0.0154

Explanation:

The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km

The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km

Radius of the Earth is 6370 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km

If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.

Basically,

2a = R + r

a = (R + r) / 2

a = (6738 + 6534) / 2

a = 13272 / 2

a = 6636 km

Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a

Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 0.0154

The bending of light as it passes into a transparent material of different optical intensity is known as A. conversion. B. aberr
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>D. refraction</em>

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction is change in direction of light rays. Refraction occurs whenever light rays travels from a transparent medium to another transparent medium of different density. The abrupt change in direction at the surface of the surface of the two media is referred to as <em>refraction</em><em>.</em>

<em>Refraction occurs when light travels from air to glass or from air to liquid.</em>

<em>Laws Of Refraction:</em>

(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal, all at the point of incident lies in the same plane.

(ii) The ratio of the sine of the angle of incident to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

<em>Thus the right option is D. refraction</em>

A yo‑yo with a mass of 0.0800 kg and a rolling radius of =2.70 cm rolls down a string with a linear acceleration of 5.70 m/s2.
N76 [4]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 0.08 kg

Radius of the path, r = 2.7 cm = 0.027 m

The linear acceleration of a yo-yo, a = 5.7 m/s²

We need to find the tension magnitude in the string and the angular acceleration magnitude of the yo‑yo.

(a) Tension :

The net force acting on the string is :

ma=mg-T

T=m(g-a)

Putting all the values,

T = 0.08(9.8-5.7)

= 0.328 N

(b) Angular acceleration,

The relation between the angular and linear acceleration is given by :

\alpha =\dfrac{a}{r}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{5.7}{0.027}\\\\=211.12\ m/s^2

(c) Moment of inertia :

The net torque acting on it is, \tau=I\alpha, I is the moment of inertia

Also, \tau=Fr

So,

I\alpha =Fr\\\\I=\dfrac{Fr}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{0.328\times 0.027}{211.12}\\\\=4.19\times 10^{-5}\ kg-m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

A slide with an image 4cm×2cm is placed at a distance of 10 cm behind a converging lens and a clear image is formed on a screen
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

44cm x 22cm

Explanation:

u= 10 cm

v= 1.1 cm

m=v/u= 1.1/10

m=11

hence the size of the image.
