The radius of the earth is 6378 km. What is the diameter of the earth in meters?

1 answer:

7 0

To determine the diameter of the earth in metres first multiply the original value by 2.

6378 X 2 = 12 756 km.

Then convert km - m

1 km = 1000 m
12 756 km = ? m

12 756 • 1000 = 12 756 000 = 12 756 000 m or 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m

The final solution for the diameter is 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is $1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV$ .

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

$1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J$

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the wavelength of these photon is $1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$ .

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of

erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$

1. What are the units of area under the line/curve?<br> 2. Does the area have any meaning?

TiliK225 [7]

The area under the velocity time graph is 125 m and the meaning of the area is displacement.

<h3>What is area under velocity - time graph?</h3>

The area under a velocity time graph represents the displacement of the object.

total area of the graph = A1 + A2

total area of the graph = ¹/₂ (base₁)(height₁) + ¹/₂ (base₂)(height₂)

total area of the graph = ¹/₂(4)(40) + ¹/₂(3)(30)

total area of the graph = 125 m

Thus, the area under the velocity time graph is 125 m and the meaning of the area is displacement.

If a car has a momentum of 2.04 x 104 kgm/s and a velocity of 18 m/s, what is its mass?

muminat

Answer:

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Momentum = 2.04 x 10⁴ kg[m/s]

Velocity = 18 m/s

Find:

Mass

Computation:

Mass = Momentum / Velocity

Mass = [2.04 x 10⁴] / 18

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)
