What is the frequency of X-rays of 10 nm wavelength? 6 x 1016 Hz 3 x 1016 Hz 3.00 Hz 6 x 108 Hz

The frequency of any wave is  (wave speed) / (wavelength) .

The speed of light is  3 x 10⁸ m/s.
If the wavelength is 10 nm (10⁻⁸ m) , then the frequency is

                         (3 x 10⁸) / (10⁻⁸)  =  <em>3 x 10¹⁶ Hz</em>

That's 30 million gigahertz !

Bonus: (It's not that hard, you just have to pay attention to units.) The Saturn V rocket first stage
agasfer [191]

v = 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as

F = \dfrac{d{p}}{d{t}} (1)

Assuming that the velocity remains constant then

F = \dfrac{d}{dt}(mv) = v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Solving for v, we get

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)

Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:

The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is

F = 7.5×10^6\:\text{lbs}×\dfrac{4.45\:\text{N}}{1\:\text{lb}} = 3.34×10^7\:\text{N}

The exhaust rate dm/dt is

\dfrac{dm}{dt} = 15\dfrac{T}{s}×\dfrac{2000\:\text{lbs}}{1\:\text{T}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{kg}}{2.2\:\text{lbs}}

\;\;\;\;\;= 1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}

Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)} = \dfrac{3.34×10^7\:\text{N}}{1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}}

\;\;\;= 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

A pole AB of length 10.0m and weight 600N has its center of gravity 4.0m from the end A, and lies on horizontal ground .Calculat
postnew [5]

Answer:

The force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A' is 240 N

Explanation:

The given parameters for the pole AB are;

The length of the pole, l = 10.0 m

The weight of the pole, W = 600 N ↓

The distance of the center of gravity of the pole from the side 'A' = 4.0 m

Let 'F_A' represent the force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A' and let a force applied in the upwards direction be positive

For equilibrium, the sum of moment about the point 'B' = 0, therefore, taking moment about 'B', we have

F_A × 10.0 m - W × 4.0 m = 0

∴ F_A × 10.0 m = W × 4.0 m = 600 N × 4.0 m

F_A × 10.0 m = 600 N × 4.0 m

∴  F_A = 600 N × 4.0 m/(10.0 m) = 240 N

The force required to begin to lift the pole from the end 'A', F_A = 240 N.

Distinguish between basic and derived units
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Base units are defined units based on specific objects or events in the physical world. Derived units are defined by combining base units.

Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units. For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only.
