A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s

Infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 800 nm to 1 mm. what is the frequency of radiation of wavelength 960 nm? a
Xelga [282]
The correct answer to your question and how to solve it is
 
The relation between wavelength (λ)and the frequency of electromagnetic oscillation (f) is described by the following expression: λ=c/f, where c–is the speed of light in vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s
Derive f from above: f = c/λ.How to Calculate: λ=890nm = 890*10^-9m = 8.9*10^-7m
f =3*10^8m/s Divided by 8.9*10^-7m = 0.34*10^15 s-1=3.4*10^14 s-1
So your Answer is: The frequency of radiation of wavelength 890 nm is 3.4*10^14s-1

An astronaut, whose mission is to go where no one has gone before, lands on a spherical planet in a distant galaxy.
NeTakaya

Answer:

M = 1.77 \times 10^{27} kg

Explanation:

As we know that the that the Astronaut dropped a stone on the surface of the planet takes 0.420 s to fall a distance of d = 1.90 m

so we will have

y = \frac{1}{2}g t^2

1.90 = \frac{1}{2}g(0.420^2)

g = 21.5 m/s^2

now we know that the acceleration due to gravity is given as

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

so we will have

21.5 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})M}{(7.40\times 10^7)^2}

M = 1.77 \times 10^{27} kg
