Answer:

Distance = 10m

Imagine a triangle

Length = 4 - 1 = 3

Height = 2 + 2 =4

Hypothenuse = Displacement

Displacement = 5

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is unchanging, its rate of change is zero.

The acceleration is zero.

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

$E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

$3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}$

N = 1.35 x 10⁵

Describe how sound waves move through different types of matter. Compare the speed at which sound moves through solids, liquids,

Andru [333]

Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.

A steel ball of mass 50 g is rolled from the left toward a ball of lead of mass 500 g. The steel ball is traveling with a veloci

alina1380 [7]

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.

A beaker of vegetable oil contains a beam of light that is aimed at a surface at an angle of 34 degrees as shown. If the index o

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Angle of reflection of light is 34 degree

Explanation:

As per law of reflection of light we know that

angle of incidence of light = angle of reflection of light

So here we know that

angle of incidence on the surface of oil is given as

$\theta_i = 34 degree$

so we know that

$\theta_i = \theta_r$

so here we can say that reflection angle of light will be same as angle of incidence

$\theta_r = 34 degree$
