Answer:

4.78 x 10^-17 m

Explanation:

E = 26 GeV

First convert GeV into J

1 GeV = 1.6 x 10^-10 J

E = 26 x 1.6 x 10^-10 = 41.6 x 10^-10 J

Use the formula for energy

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and λ be the wavelength and c be the velocity of light.

λ = h c / E

λ = ( 6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (41.6 x 10^-10)

λ = 4.78 x 10^-17 m

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at

stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft$

Also, at any instant t

$\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2$

differentiate w.r.t.

$\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s$

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.

Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

That is;

ac = v²/r

Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m
