Answer:

the cochlea

Explanation:

The cochlea contains the spiral organ of Corti, which is the receptor organ for hearing. It consists of tiny hair cells that translate the fluid vibration of sounds from its surrounding ducts into electrical impulses that are carried to the brain by sensory nerves.

Determine the wavelengths for Potassium (violet, λ = 400 nm) and Strontium (red, λ = 700 nm) light emissions. Calculate the freq

TEA [102]

Answer:

For Potassium:

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz; E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

For Strontium:

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Wavelength is represented by λ, and Frequency is represented by ν .

E (energy) = hν = hc/λ, where ν = frequency; c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s; 1 s-1 = 1 Hz

h = planck's constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s; 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1. Potassium λ (wavelength) = 400 nm, Frequency, ν is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 nm

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 x 10⁻⁹ s-1

= 0.0075 x 10¹⁷s-1

= 7.5 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (7.5 x 10¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

2. Strontium λ (wavelength) = 700 nm ,Frequency, ν is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 nm

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 x 10⁻⁹s-1

= 0.00428571428 x 10¹⁷s-1

= 4.3 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (4.3 x 0¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum for the following cases.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

8.4335 x 10^-²¹, 1.78204 x 10²⁶

Explanation:

p = mv

p = (5.05 x 10⁶)(1.67 x 10^-²⁷)

p = 8.4335 x 10^-²¹

p = mv

p = (5.98 x 10²⁴)(2.98 x 10)

p = 1.78204 x 10²⁶

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

the pilot of a new stealth helicopter, which has a mass of 15000 kg and was traveling at 180 m/s, accelerated to 250 m/s in 6 s

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Force = 175000 newtons

Final momentum = 1050000 N*S

Explanation:

We know that force is equal to Mass * acceleration

We also know that the mass of object is 15,000kg.

We know acceleration is (change in velocity)/time

Our initial velocity is 180m/s

our final velocity is 250 m/s

the time it took was 6 seconds

our change in velocity is 250 - 180 = 70

the time it took was 6 seconds

a = 70/6 = 11.67 m/s^2

So we can calculate force, by doing Mass * Acceleration, which is 15,000 * 11.67

Force is 175000 Newton's

Momentum is calculated by Velocity * mass or Force * time

we could do either one

velocity * mass way

we are given final velocity is 250 m/s, and that the initial velocity is 180 m/s. We first have to find the change in velocity by subtracting final and initial and get 70, and then we multiply that by the mass, which is 15000 kg.

we multiply them together and get 1050000 Kg*m/s

Force * time way

We just calculated the force above, and got 175050 newton's. from that we just multiply by the time, which is 6 seconds

and we get a result of

1050000 Newton*seconds

*** remember newton*seconds is the same as kg*m/s
