. You are sitting on a beach watching the waves roll in. In 12 seconds, 6 waves roll by. What is the period of the waves (7)? Wh

at is their frequency (O? 17. An AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 660 kHz. (note that k means 1000). Since radio waves move at the same speed as light waves, what is the wavelength of this radio wave?

Answer:

Explanation:

6 waves in 12 seconds

The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillations.

Here, 6 waves are completed in 12 seconds

So, one wave is completed in 2 seconds

So, the period of the wave is 2 second.

frequency is defined as the number of waves completed in one second. It is the reciprocal of period of the wave.

frequency = 1 / 2 = 0.5 Hertz

Let the wavelength is λ.

f = 660 kHz = 660000 Hz

the relation for the wave speed and the wavelength and the frequency is given by

v = f λ

where v is the speed of wave = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So, 3 x 10^8 = 660000 x λ

λ = 454.55 m

In a Hydrogen atom an electron rotates around a stationary proton in a circular orbit with an approximate radius of r =0.053nm.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a): $F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

(b): $F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

(c): $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 $\times 10^{-9}$ m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ respectively is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant = $9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, $q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

The charge on the electron, $q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

These two are separated by the distance, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_1$ respectively is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$

where,

$G$ = Universal Gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, $m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.$

The mass of the electron, $m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

Distance between the two, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

The ratio $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}$ :

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

What is biasing and doping

Flura [38]

Answer:

Biasing - Biasing means being unfair to someone or something, and liking the other one or helping them.

Doping - Doping is where a person use drug to get better at sporting and get stronger muscles, such as getting stronger, getting faster and so on. It is mostly used by athletics.
