The frequency of a wave is a measure of the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time. It has SI units of s^-1. It is also equivalent to Hertz (Hz). We calculate the frequency of the wave described as follows:

Frequency = 5 waves / 2 s = 2.5 / s or 2.5 Hz

Using Figure 2, what is the momentum of Train Car A before the collision?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Train Car A:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

For Train Car B:

Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass × velocity

With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 45000 × 4

Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s

A. Describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it could not be explained by Newtonian physics.
Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

(a)

The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which the light of the particular frequency incidents on the material. Then the emission of the electrons from the surface of the material occurs.

This phenomenon could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

In Newtonian physics, the energy is not discrete. In quantum mechanics, the energy is discrete.  This is the main why the photoelectric effect could not be explained by Newtonian physics.

(b)

Light consists of  photons. The photon is a packet of energy. It is also called quanta. The energies of the photons are quantized.  

When a photon strikes on the surface of metal then the energy of photon is absorbed by an electron in the metal so that it may eject from the surface. This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect.

(c)

In quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality concept is used to explain the wave-particle nature of the light. Light behaves as particle as well as wave. It shows both nature. The photoelectric phenomenon shows the particle nature of the light. It acts as a particle when it hits the surface of the metal.

In line spectra, the electron is excited to an energy level. In this case energy is transferred from photon to electron. There is a collision between photon and electron. The change in momentum will occur. It shows the particle nature of the light.

A circular conical reservoir has depth 20 feet and radius of the top 10 feet. water is leaking out so that the surface is fallin
levacccp [35]

As per given condition we know that vertex angle of the cone is given as

tan\theta = \frac{R}{H}

so here we can say that vertex angle will remain constant

so here

\frac{r}{y} = \frac{R}{H}

\frac{r}{8} = \frac{10}{20}

r = 4 feet

now for the volume we can say

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 y

also we can say

r = \frac{y}{2}

so here we will have

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{y}{2})^2y = \frac{1}{12}\pi y^3

now for volume flow rate

Q = \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{3}{12}\pi y^2\frac{dy}{dt}

Q = \frac{1}{4}\pi y^2 v_y

now plug in all data

Q = \frac{1}{4} \pi (8)^2 (12) ft^3/h

Q = 603.2 ft^3/h
