Answer: 4.86(10)^{-12}m

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta) (1)  

Where:  

\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m is the wavelength of the scattered photon

\lambda_{o}  is the wavelength of the incident photon

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}.c}, being h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c=3(10)^{8}m/s the speed of light in vacuum.  

\theta=180\° the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.  

\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°)) (2)

\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m (3)  This is the shift in wavelength

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.08 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.3312 km/s
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

727.67 km

Explanation:

Sine they have Same distance D

distance = speed * time

D = 5.08t

D = 8.3312(t+55.9)

so

5.08t = 8.3312(t+55.9) t in

3.2512t = 465.71

t = 143.2s

Subtitute t

D=5.08 t

= 5.08 × 143.2

= 727.67km

What is a charge? how objects can be charged? short answer pls​
nevsk [136]

Answer:

An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
