A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 14 m/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera fr

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<em>The balloon is 66.62 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Combined Motion </u>

The problem has a combination of constant-speed motion and vertical launch. The hot-air balloon is rising at a constant speed of 14 m/s. When the camera is dropped, it initially has the same speed as the balloon (vo=14 m/s). The camera has an upward movement for some time until it runs out of speed. Then, it falls to the ground. The height of an object that was launched from an initial height yo and speed vo is

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}$

The values are

$\displaystyle y_o=15\ m$

$\displaystyle v_o=14\ m/s$

We must find the values of t such that the height of the camera is 0 (when it hits the ground)

$\displaystyle y=0$

$\displaystyle y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=0$

Multiplying by 2

$\displaystyle 2y_o+2v_ot-gt^2=0$

Clearing the coefficient of $t^2$

$\displaystyle t^2-\frac{2\ V_o}{g}\ t-\frac{2\ y_o}{g}=0$

Plugging in the given values, we reach to a second-degree equation

$\displaystyle t^2-2.857t-3.061=0$

The equation has two roots, but we only keep the positive root

$\displaystyle \boxed {t=3.69\ s}$

Once we know the time of flight of the camera, we use it to know the height of the balloon. The balloon has a constant speed vr and it already was 15 m high, thus the new height is

$\displaystyle Y_r=15+V_r.t$

$\displaystyle Y_r=15+14\times3.69$

$\displaystyle \boxed{Y_r=66.62\ m}$

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4 eV. Calculate the optimum wavelength of light for

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The optimum wavelength = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886.3 nm

Explanation:

The light that will generate the photovoltaic energy of 1.4 eV will must have that amount of energy

Energy of light waves is given as

E = hf

h = Planck's constant = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴) J.s

f = Frequency of the light

The frequency is then further given as

f = (c/λ)

c = speed of light = (3.0 × 10⁸) m/s

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

E = (hc/λ)

λ = (hc/E)

Energy = E = 1.4 eV = 1.4 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ = (2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹) J

λ = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3.0 × 10⁸)/(2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886 nm

Hope this Helps!!!

An electron is pushed into an electric field where it acquires a 1-V electrical potential. Suppose instead that two electrons ar

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

0.5 V

Explanation:

The electric potential distance between different locations in an electric field area is unaffected by the charge that is transferred between them. It is solely dependent on the distance. Thus, for two electrons pushed together at the same distance into the same field, the electric potential will remain at 1 V. However, the electric potential of one of the two electrons will be half the value of the electric potential for the two electrons.
