If 10 waves pass a point each second and their wavelength is 30m, what is their speed?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

300m/s

Explanation:

velocity = frequency(wavelength)

Since 10 waves pass a point each second, frequency is 10

therefore, speed = (10)(30 = 300m/s

An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller dia
Crank

Answer:

Wn = 9.14 x 10¹⁷ N

Explanation:

First we need to find our mass. For this purpose we use the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

W = Weight = 675 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Surface of Earth = 9.8 m/s²

m = Mass = ?

Therefore,

m = (675 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m = 68.88 kg

Now, we need to find the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Neutron Star. For this purpose we use the following formula:

gn = (G)(Mn)/(Rn)²

where,

gn = acceleration due to gravity on surface of neutron star = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Mn = Mass of Neutron Star = Mass of Sun = 1.99 x 10³⁰ kg

Rn = Radius of neutron Star = 20 km/2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Therefore,

gn = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10³⁰ kg)/(10000)

gn = 13.27 x 10¹⁵ m/s²

Now, my weight on neutron star will be:

Wn = m(gn)

Wn = (68.88)(13.27 x 10¹⁵ m/s²)

<u>Wn = 9.14 x 10¹⁷ N</u>

About 65 million years ago an asteroid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatán Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many ot
9966 [12]

Answer:

2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

\rho = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

H_v = Heat vaporization of water = 2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg

The kinetic energy is

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg

Mass of water is 2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg

Volume is \dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

Amount of water is 2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

If it were a cube

h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m
