Answer:

The magnitude of car A acceleration is 4 times that of car E

Explanation:

Assuming they are traveling at a constant speed. Their (centripetal) acceleration is as the following

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

where v is the (linear) velocity and r is the radius. We can use this to calculate their ratio

a_A / a_E = \frac{v_A^2/r_A}{v_E^2/r_E} = \left(\frac{v_A}{v_E}\right)^2\frac{r_E}{e_A}

Since v_A = 2V_E \rightarrow \frac{v_A}{v_E} = 2 and r_A = r_E

a_A / a_E = 2^2 = 4

So the magnitude of car A acceleration is 4 times that of car E

Phantasy [73]
Energy E of EM radiation is given by the equation E=hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is frequency. It means energy E and frequency f are proportional so as we increase the frequency, energy also increases. Also, the relationship between the wavelength and frequency is c=λ*f where λ is the wavelength and f is frequency and c is the speed of light. This tells us the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as we increase the frequency the wavelength is getting smaller. So as we go from left to right the frequency increases, energy also increases and the wavelength is decreasing. Or, on the left side we should have low frequency, low radiant energy, and long wavelength. On the right side we should have high frequency, high radiant energy and low wavelength. That is the third graph.

[Assuming that you've written 3.40 kg in 'a', and not 3.90 kg]

(a) 3,400 g x <u>0.001</u> = 3.40 kg [converting grams to kilograms]

(b) 220 cm x <u>0.01</u> = <u>2.2</u> m [converting centimeters to meters]

(c) 9.42 kg x <u>1000</u> = <u>9420</u> g [converting kilograms to grams]

(d) 6.53 m x <u>100</u> = <u>653</u> cm [converting meters to centimeters]

A motorcycle accelerates from a stop at a rate of 4m/s 2 for 20 seconds. It then continues at a
8_murik_8 [283]

After 20 s, the motorcycle attains a speed of

\left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(20\,\mathrm s)=80\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and it continues at this speed for the next 40 s. So at 45 s, its speed is 80 m/s.

A. How long (in ns) does it take light to travel 1.0 m in a vacuum?
suter [353]

Answer:

a) 3.33 ns

b) Water distance = 0.75 m

Glass distance = 0.66 m

Diamond distance = 0.41 m

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = m/s.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

a)

t=\dfrac{1}{3.0\times10^{8}}=3.33\times10^{-9}

t = 3.33 ns

b)

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n}\times \dfrac{1}{c}

d=\dfrac{1}{n}

Thus, the distance traveled in the same time is numerically equal to the reciprocal of the refractive index.

For water n = 1.333

d = 1/1.333 = 0.75 m

For glass n = 1.517

d = 0.66 m

For diamond n = 2.417

d = 0.41 m
