The frequency of a beam of light does not change as it passes from a medium to another, only its wavelength and speed are affected. The experimental speed of light in air is:
3  * 10^8 m/s
Therefore, the frequency of this beam of light is:
v = fλ; where v is speed, f is frequency, and λ is the wavelength. The frequency thus is:
3×10⁸ / (670 × 10⁻⁹) = 4.48 × 10¹⁴ Hz
The frequency will remain the same in the solid medium
The speed will then become:
4.48 × 10¹⁴ × 420 × 10⁻⁹ = 1.88 × 10⁸ meters per second

A driver has a reaction time of 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of her car is 6.0 m/s2 . she is driving at 20 m/s when sud
jek_recluse [69]
I will assume that you want to know if the driver can stop before hitting the obstacle or not.

First step is to use the reaction time in order to know how far can she go before her motion starts to slow:
distance = velocity x time = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m
Thus, the driver has 50 - 10 = 40 m to stop before colliding

Second step is to calculate the distance that the driver requires to stop using the rules of velocity and distance:
1- velocity = acceleration x time 
     20 = 6t ..............> thus, time = 3.334 seconds
2- distance = 0.5 x a x t^2 = 0.5 x 6 x (3.334)^2 = 33.3466 m

From the previous calculations, we can see that the driver has 40 m to stop and she needs only 33.3466 m to stop based on the given parameters. This means that she can stop before collision.

A 0.140 kg baseball is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 28.9 m/s. It is struck with a constant horizontal force that lasts
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4987N

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (m) = 0.140 kg

Initial velocity (U) = 28.9 m/s

Time (t) = 1.85 ms = 1.85x10^-3s

Final velocity (V) = 37.0 m/s

Force (F) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the magnitude of the horizontal force applied. This can be obtained by applying the formula:

F = m(V + U) /t

F = 0.140(37+ 28.9) /1.85x10^-3

F = 9.226/1.85x10^-3

F = 4987N

Therefore, the magnitude of the horizontal force applied is 4987N

If you dip hand in cold water after having dipped in warm water wii you feel the water colder than actually is?
cluponka [151]

Your hand feels colder when it transitions from warm to "colder" (room temperature) water.

<h3>What happens when you put your hand from warm water to cold water?</h3>

Your hand feels colder when you move it from the warm water to the "colder" (room temperature) water. Skin surface temperature will decrease in a constant ambient environment as a result of sympathetic nerve activity increasing and blood flow decreasing as a result of cutaneous receptors triggered by ice-water immersion of one hand in the palm skin of the non-immersed opposite hand.

The height of a door is measured by four people and their measured values are 217.6 cm, 217.2 cm, 216.8 cm, and 217.9 cm. (a) Wh
Paul [167]

Answer:

a) To the nearest tenth the average value of the measures is 217.4cm

b) The standard deviation for the four measurements is 0.415

Explanation:

The average is the result of adding all the values and dividing by the number of measures, in this case 4 then

Average = \frac{217.6 + 217.2 + 216.8 + 217.9}{4} \\

Average = \frac{869.5}{4} \\

Average = 217.375

a) To the nearest tenth the average value of the measures is 217.4cm

The standard deviation equals to the square root of the variance, and the variance is the adition of all the square of the difference between the measure and the average for each value divided by the number of measurements

So first, we must calculate the variance:

Variance = \frac{(217.6-217.4)^2+(217.2-217.4)^2+(216.8-217.4)^2+(217.9-217.4)^2}{4}.

Variance = \frac{(0.2)^2+(-0.2)^2+(-0,6)^2+(0.5)^2}{4}.

Variance = \frac{0.04+0.04+0.36+0.25}{4}.

Variance = \frac{0.69}{4}.

Variance = 0.1725.

This represent the difference between the average and the measurements.

Now calculate the standard deviation

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{Variance}

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{0.1725}

Standard deviation  = 0.415

b) The standard deviation for the four measurements is 0.415

This measure represent a standard way to know what is normal in this sample. so the differences between the average should be of ±0.415
