Answer:

D.) independent variable on the x-axis

Explanation:

Normally in an x-y plane, the value of x is taken as an independent variable, i.e. it is independent because it can assume any value (real number), while y depends on the value x. for example for the following equation.

y = x

Where:

x = independent value.

y = dependent value of x

This is the equation of a line, inclined with slope equal to 1.

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year

Troyanec [42]

(186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

= (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365) mi/yr

= 5,865,696,000,000 miles per year (rounded to the nearest million miles)

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

$\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the person is $m = 180 \ kg$

The speed of the person is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The energy of the proton is $E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J$

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }$

Here h is the Planck constant with the value

$h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

$\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }$

=> $\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

$E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p$

Here $m_p$ is the mass of proton with value $m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg$

=> $8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2$

=> $v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }$

=> $v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s$

$\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }$

so $\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }$

=> $\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Answer:

not captured for use by living things

Explanation:

The sun is a star with a high radiation and most of(around 55-67%) the radiation that reaches the earth is usually reflected back. The earth cannot use all the energy that reaches the earth. It uses almost around 15-30%
