-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.

-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.

-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.

-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.

An unstable atomic nucleus has a mass of 17.010-27kg, and starts out at rest. When it decays, it the original nucleus disintegra

slega [8]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

Explanation:

As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same

So we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 + m_3v_3 = 0$

$(5 \times 10^{-27})(6 \times 10^6\hat j) + (8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6\hat i) + (3.6 \times 10^{-27}) v = 0$

$(30\hat j + 33.6\hat i)\times 10^6 + 3.6 v = 0$

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

By equation of kinetic energy we have

$E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_3v_3^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(5 \times 10^{-27})(6\times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(3.6 \times 10^{-27})(8.33^2 + 9.33^2) \times 10^{12}$

$E = 9\times 10^{-14} + 6.72 \times 10^{-14} + 2.82\times 10^{-13}$

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

Melissa's favorite exercise equipment at the gym consists of various springs. in one exercise, she pulls a handle grip attached

konstantin123 [22]

The formula for force exerted on/by a spring is

F = k*e where k is the spring constant and x is the distance stretched from unstrained position. This should allow you to find what you need.

Using F = k x e,

where k is the spring constant,

and e is the extension,

The F is her weight = 45 X 0.80

= 36 N

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

108

MHz

. The wavelength is thus typically about
