Answer:

free-fall acceleration = 12.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Formula for free fall acceleration is given by the gravity equation;

g = Gm/r²

Where;

M is mass of the Earth

r is radius of the Earth

G is the gravitational constant

Now, that equation applies to the earth.

For this new planet, we are told that the mass = 5 × mass of earth

And radius = 2 × radius of earth.

Thus, free fall acceleration for this planet is;

g_p = G(5m)/(2r)²

g_p = (5/4)(Gm/r²)

Gravitational constant has a value of 6.674 × 10^(−11) N.m²/kg²

Mass of the earth = 5.972 × 10^(24) kg

Radius of the earth = 6378 km = 6378000

Thus;

g_p = (5/4)(6.674 × 10^(−11) × 5.972 × 10^(24))/(6378000²) = 12.25 m/s²

What is the frequency of a radio wave with an energy of 3.686 × 10−24 j/photon?answer in units of hz?
Makovka662 [10]

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula:

E = h f

where E is total energy, h is Plancks constant 6.626x10^-34 J s, f is frequency

 

f = E / h

f = 3.686 × 10−24 J / (6.626x10^-34 J s)

<span>f = 5.56 x 10^9 Hz</span>

- Which of the following does not move as a transverse wave?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

- Which of the following does not move as a transverse wave?

<em>B. sound waves</em>

because sound waves are longitudinal waves having compressions and rare factions.

Which of these effects describes the change in pitch we hear

moving motorbike goes past?

<em>D</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Doppler</em><em> </em><em>eff</em><em>ect</em>

Doppler effect is the phenomenon where there is apparent change in frequency (pitch) and wavelength of a wave due to relative motion of the sound source.

Which of the following does not make use of total internal reflection.

<em>B</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Endos</em><em>cop</em><em>e</em>

Endoscope doesn't use total internal reflection since no refraction takes place.

ella [17]

Answer:

The work done on the hose by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length is 776.16 Joules

Explanation:

The given spring constant of the of the spring, k = 88.0 N/m

The length by which the hose is stretched, x = 4.20 m

For the hose that obeys Hooke's law, and the principle of conservation of energy, the work done by the force from the hose is equal to the potential energy given to the hose

The elastic potential energy, P.E., of a compressed spring is given as follows;

P.E. = 1/2·k·x²

∴ The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)²

1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)² = 776.16 J

The work done on the hose = The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 776.16 J
