The wave travels at the speed of sound in water: v=1500 m/s.

The frequency of the wave is 
10 ms^{-1} = 10000 s^{-1} = 10000 Hz

so we can find its wavelength \lambda by using the basic relationship between frequency, wavelength and speed of the wave:
\lambda= \frac{v}{f}= \frac{1500 m/s}{10000 Hz}=0.150 m = 15 cm

A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

length of ladder r_L = 14m

weight of ladder F_L = 490N

position of firefighter r_F = 3.8m

weight of firefighter F_F = 820N

angle of ladder \alpha = 63

Unknown:

force of the wall on the ladder F_W

force of friction on base of ladder F_R

normal force on base of ladder F_N

From the free body diagram of the sketch you get 3 equations:

F_x = ma_x = F_W - F_R = 0\\ F_y = ma_y = F_N - F_F - F_L = 0\\ \tau _P = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r_FF_Fcos\alpha + \frac{1}{2}r_LF_Lcos\alpha - r_LF_Wsin\alpha = 0

Solving the equations gives:

F_W = F_R\\ F_N = F_F + F_L\\ F_W = \frac{r_FF_F + 0.5r_LF_L}{r_L tan\alpha}

a)

F_R = 238N\\ F_N = 1310N

b)

F_R = \mu F_N\\ \mu = \frac{F_R}{F_N} \\ \mu = 0.3

c) Using the result from b and solving for r_F

\\ \mu = 0.15\\ F_R = \mu F_N\\ r_F = 2.4m

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.
Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( \frac{1}{(n1)^{2} } -   \frac{1}{(n2)^{2} })

                 = 109678 ( \frac{1}{1^{2} } -  \frac{1}{3^{2} } )

                 = 109678 (8/9)

   Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )

                  = 102.6 * 10^{-9} m = 102.6 nm

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

- When the displacement of the spring is maximum, the velocity is zero, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is maximum, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is maximum, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be zero, and so the velocity (v) is also zero. On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero
