Answer:

0.03052 nm

Explanation:

From c = f¥

Where c = speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum = 3x10^8 m/s

f = frequency of the wave

¥ = wavelenght of the wave.

¥ = c/f = (3x10^8)/(9.38×10^14)

= 3.052x10^-7 m

= 0.03052 nm

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

A 41.0 g marble moving at 2.30 m/s strikes a 25.0 g marble at rest. What is the speed of each marble immediately after the colli
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the marble m_1=41gram=0.041kg

Velocity of marble v_1=2.30m/sec

Its collides with other marble of mass 25 gram

So mass of other marble m_2=25gram=0.025kg

Second marble is at so v_2=0m/sec

We have to find the velocity of second marble

From momentum conservation we know that

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_!+m_2)v, here v is common velocity of both marble after collision

So 0.041\times 2.30+0.025\times 0=(0.041+0.025)v

v = 1.428 m /sec

So speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

A baseball with a mass of 151 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 39.5 m/s (88 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

the average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 11,613.27 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 151 g = 0.151 kg

initial velocity of the baseball, u = 39.5 m/s

final velocity of the baseball, v = 45.1 m/s

time of action, t = 1.10 ms = 1.10 x 10⁻³ s

The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is calculate as;

F = ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{0.151(45.1-(-39.5))}{1.10\times 10^{-3}} \\\\F = \frac{0.151(45.1\ +\ 39.5)}{1.10\times 10^{-3}} \\\\F = 11,613.27 \ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 11,613.27 N

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.
