Answer:

Frequency of the wave, f = 4 Hz

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the wave, v = 8 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, λ = 2 m

We have to find the frequency of the wave. The relationship between the frequency, wavelength and the speed of the wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\dfrac{8\ m/s}{2\ m}$

f = 4 Hz or 4 s⁻¹

So, the frequency of the wave is 4 Hz. Hence, the correct option is (c) " 4 Hz".

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C$

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

Superposition Law: the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

$E_{total}=E_1+E_2$

Thanks Gauss Law we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

$E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)$

Then:

$E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C$

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.

A beam of light, with a wavelength of 4170 Å, is shined on sodium, which has a work function (binding energy) of 4.41 × 10 –19 J

Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Work function of sodium, $W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

$KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

a bucket of water of mass 20kg is pulled at a constant velocity up to a platform 40 meters above the ground. this takes 10 minut

erma4kov [3.2K]

Taking into account the information above, we know the average mass of the bucket of water may be m=20-5/2=17.5kg. As the bucket of water is pulled at a "constant velocity" the work required to raise the bucket to the platform transformed into the potential energy of the bucket of water. That is why it should be W=mgh=17.5*9.8*40=6860J
