Answer: 0.85 meters (with and without sigfigs)

Explanation: To find the wavelength, you just have to switch around the equation for wave speed: v (wave speed) = λ (wavelength)*f (frequency) so λ (wavelength) = v (wave speed)/f (frequency). You don't have the wave speed but you can calculate it. Since wave speed is measured in meters/second or m/s, you just have to divide the amount of meters you were given by the amount of seconds. You will get 340 m/s. Next, you have to plug the values into the equation: λ (wavelength) = 340 m/s (wave speed)/400 Hz (frequency). The answer is 0.85 meters (seconds cancel) and has the correct number of significant figures.

Magnetic fields are caused by?

zaharov [31]

The motion of an electric charge producing a magnetic field is an essential concept in understanding magnetism. The magnetic moment of an atom can be the result of the electron's spin, which is the electron orbital motion and a change in the orbitalmotion of the electrons caused by an applied magnetic field.

Followed by the previous question: presume that the electron performs a uniform circular motion around the hydrogen nucleus. Wha

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

$r=5\times 10^{-11}$

$T=1.5 \times 10^{-16}$

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

$Velocity (v)=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}$

$V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}$

Generally the equation for Centripetal acceleration is mathematically given as

$A_c=\frac{V^2}{r}$

$A_c=(\frac{20.944*10^5)}{r5*10^{-11}}$

$A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s$

Instead, suppose that it was ﬁred upward at 60◦ with respect to a horizontal line. Then its horizontal component of velocity is

larisa [96]

Answer:

50 m/s

Explanation:

Angle = 60 degree

Horizontal component of velocity = 50 m/s

A projectile motion is the motion of an object in two dimensions under the influence of gravity.

In this case, the object has no acceleration along horizontal direction, it has acceleration in vertical direction which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity of earth.

When the projectile reaches at the maximum height it travels only along the horizontal and thus it has only horizontal velocity at that instant.

Thus, the velocity of teh projectile at maximum height is same as horizontal component of velocity that meas 50 m/s.

Car A with a mass of 725 kilograms is traveling east at an initial velocity of 15 meters/second. It collides head–on with car B,

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The total momentum of a system is defined by:

$(mv)_t_o_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...$

Where,

$(mv)_t_o_t$ is the total momentum or it could be expressed also as $p_t_o_t_a_l$ .

$m_1$ and $m_2$ represents the masses of the objects interacting in the system.

$v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the objects of the system.

Remember: The momentum is a fundamental physical magnitude of vector type.

We have:

$m_1=725 kg$

$v_1=15\frac{m}{s}\\m_2=625 kg$

We are going to take the east side as positive, and the west side as negative. Then the velocity of the car B, has to be negative. It goes in a different direction from car A.

$v_2=-17\frac{m}{s}$

Then the total momentum of the system is:

$p_t_o_t_a_l=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\p_t_o_t_a_l=(725kg)(15\frac{m}{s})+(625kg)(-17\frac{m}{s})\\p_t_o_t_a_l=10875kg\frac{m}{s}-10625kg\frac{m}{s}\\p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}$

An inductance L, resistance R, and ideal battery of emf are wired in series. A switch in the circuit is closed at time t = 0, at

Kay [80]

Explanation:

After some time t the current does not passing through the circuit

=>so the back emf is zero

=>here the inductor opposes decay of the circuit

- Ldi/dt = Ri

di/dt = - R/Li

di/i = - R/Ldt

now we applying the integration on both sides

log i=-R/Lt+C

here t=0=>i=io

Log io=C

=>Log i=-R/L*t + Log io

logi-Log io=-R/L*t

Log[i/io]=-R/L*t

i/io=e^-Rt/L

i=ioe^-Rt/L

the option D is correct
