Answer:

The wavelength of the yellow light in given transparent material is <em><u>337 nm</u></em>

Explanation:

Speed of the light in vacuum , $c=3.00\times 10^{8}\frac{m}{s}$

Therefore speed of light in the given material is $v=0.589\times c$

=> $v=0.589\times 3.00\times 10^{8}\frac{m}{s}=1.767\times 10^{8}\frac{m}{s}$

frequency of yellow light , $f=5.25\times 10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength in the given transparent material , $\lambda =\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1.767\times 10^{8}}{5.25\times 10^{14}}m$

=> $\lambda =3.366\times 10^{-7}m=336.6nm$

=> $\lambda \simeq 337nm$

Thus the wavelength of the yellow light in given transparent material is <em><u>337 nm</u></em>

That would depend on the man’s starting latitude. If 6.7 mi south of the north pole, for example, the resultant would be 6.7 mi due north of the starting point.

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially relea

grandymaker [24]

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.

(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.

(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

Answer:

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

8 cycles

Explanation:

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;

it implies that the mass (m) = $\frac{w}{g}$

m= $\frac{32}{32}$

= 1 slug

Also from Hooke's Law

2 k = 32

k = $\frac{32}{2}$

k = 16 lb/ft

Using the function:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} = - 16x\\\frac{d^2x}{dt} + 16x =0$

$x(0) = -1$ (because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)

$x(0) = -6$ ( as a result of upward velocity)

NOW, we have:

$x(t)=c_1cos4t+c_2sin4t\\x^{'}(t) = 4(-c_1sin4t+c_2cos4t)$

However;

$x(0) = -1$ means

$-1 =c_1\\c_1 = -1$

$x(0) =-6$ also implies that:

$-6 =4(c_2)\\c_2 = - \frac{6}{4}$

$c_2 = -\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, $x(t) =-cos4t-\frac{3}{2} sin 4t$

$A = \sqrt{C_1^2+C_2^2}$

$A = \sqrt{(-1)^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2 }$

$A=\sqrt{\frac{13}{4} }$

$A= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13}$

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period can be calculated as follows:

= $\frac{2 \pi}{4}$

= $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

At the end of 4 seconds, we have:

$x* \frac{\pi}{2} = 4 \pi$

$x \pi = 8 \pi$

$x=8$ cycles

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a

Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m² ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m² = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs

Softa [21]

Answer:

Buffers

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

A buffer solution is an equilibrium system that resists changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added hence it is a solution of fairly constant pH value.
