In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

shell cracks. If a seagull flies to a height of 23.1 m, how long will the clam take to fall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of sec.

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

In hydrogen, the transition from level 2 to level 1 has a rest wavelength of 121.6 nm.1).Find the speed for a star in which this
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1). v = - 2960526m/s

2). Toward us

3). v = - 493421m/s

4). Toward us

5). v = 1480263m/s

6).  Away from us

7). v = 3207236m/s

8). Away from us

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm (\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}

Then, for this particular case it is gotten:

Star 1: \lambda_{measured} = 120.4nm

Star 2: \lambda_{measured} = 121.4nm

Star 3: \lambda_{measured} = 122.2nm

Star 4: \lambda_{measured} = 122.9nm

Star 1:

Blueshift: 120.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 2:

Blueshift: 121.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 3:

Redshift: 122.2nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Star 4:

Redshift: 122.9nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determine by means of Doppler velocity.

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}- \lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}) (2)

<em>Case for star 1 \lambda_{measured} = 120.4 nm:</em>

<em></em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{120.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 2960526m/s

Notice that the negative velocity means that is approaching to the observer.

<em>Case for star 2 \lambda_{measured} = 121.4 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{121.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 493421m/s

<em>Case for star 3 \lambda_{measured} = 122.2 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.2nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 1480263m/s

<em>Case for star 4 \lambda_{measured} = 122.9 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.9nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 3207236m/s

7. A type of non-renewable energy would be:<br> O wind<br> O petroleum<br> O water<br> solar
matrenka [14]

Answer:

petroleum

Explanation:

Petroleum is a gas that we use that just goes into the air whilst water can be recycled and purified, wind never ever goes away, and solar power can be converted into energy.

A 2500 N force accelerates a car at a rate of 3.0 m/s^2. What is the car’s mass? 250 kg
Ronch [10]

Apply Newton's second law to the car's motion:

F = ma

F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Given values:

F = 2500N, a = 3.0m/s²

Plug in and solve for m:

2500 = m(3.0)

m = 830kg
