Answer:

\lambda=1.37 fm

Explanation:

The Planck Eistein relation, states that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency:

E=h\nu(1)

h is the Plank constant.The frequency of a photon is defined as the speed of light over its wavelength:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{0.91*10^{9}eV}\\\\\lambda=(1.37*10^{-15}m)*\frac{1fm}{10^{-15}m}\\\\\lambda=1.37 fm

give an example of situation in which an automobile driver can have a centripetal acceleration but no tangential speed
Mars2501 [29]

There is no need for tangential acceleration when moving in a circle at a constant speed.

<h3>What is centripetal acceleration?</h3>

centripetal acceleration refers to the speed at which a body moves through a circle. Due to the fact that velocity is a vector quantity (i.e., it has both a magnitude, the speed, and a direction), when a body travels in a circle, its direction is constantly changing, which causes a change in velocity, which results in an acceleration.

<h3>Which is an example of centripetal acceleration?</h3>

Centripetal acceleration occurs when you spin a ball on a string above your head. A car experiences centripetal acceleration when it is being driven in a circle. Additionally, a satellite in orbit around the Earth experiences centripetal acceleration.

Joe the house painter stands on a uniform oak board weighing 600 N and held up by vertical ropes at each end. Joe has been dieti
Mamont248 [21]

Answer

given,

weight of the oak board = 600 N

Weight of Joe = 844 N

length of board = 4 m

Joe is standing at 1 m from left side

vertical wire is supporting at the end.

Assuming the system is in equilibrium

T₁ and T₂ be the tension at the ends of the wire

equating all the vertical force

T₁ + T₂ = 600 + 844

 T₁ + T₂ = 1444...........(1)

taking moment about T₂

 T₁ x 4 - 844 x 3 - 600 x 2 = 0

 T₁ x 4 = 3732

 T₁ = 933 N

from equation (1)

 T₂ = 1444 - 933

 T₂ = 511 N

4. ________ have a positive charge
xz_007 [3.2K]

A proton has positive charge of 1, that is, equal but opposite to the charge of an electron. A neutron, like the name implies, is neutral with no net charge. The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

Vlad [161]
It is important to look at all the information's that are given in the question very closely. Let us write them write first.

Radius of the spa = <span>5/√2-1 feet
Now
Perimeter of the circle = </span><span>2πr
                                    = 2</span>π (5/√2-1) 
                                    = <span>π(5/(√2-1)*(√2+1)/(√2+1) </span>
<span>                                    = 2π(5/(√2+1))/(2-1) </span>
<span>                                    = 10π(√2+1)  

I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.</span>
