Trolley A has a mass of 2kg and is moving at 2m/s. It collides with trolley B, which has the same mass but is stationary. What i

Assuming your two trolleys stick together after the collision, your momentum equation would be M1V1+M2V2=(M1+M2)V3 and since V2 is 0, then 2x2=(2+2)V3, thereore the final velocity would be 1, wich would make the final momentum 4

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

$v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

$\mu_w = 4/3$

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

$\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}$

$\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}$

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

$\mu_w = 3/2$

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

$\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}$

$\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

$v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}$

$v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}$

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

$v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}$

$v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}$

$v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s$

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte

Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

$\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz$

Planck's constant is $6.626\times 10^3^4Js$

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

$E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV$

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV

How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too

vodomira [7]

Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
$speed= \frac{distance}{time}$
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
$velocity= displacement/time$
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time.
$acceleration = \frac{change in velocity}{time}$
