A longitudinal wave is observed. Exactly 6 crests are observed

1 answer:

3 0

The speed of the wave is 1.58 meters per second (or 1.584 if you don’t round it).
You multiply wavelength by frequency to get the speed of a wave.
2.4 times 0.66 = 1.548 meters per second.

If you didn’t have the frequency before hand, you would just divide the 6 crests by the 9.1 seconds.

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds. It can be positive, negative or zero.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

In an ionic bond , an element will have to lose or gain electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).

∴

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds cannot be zero.

In which scenario does radiation occur? warming soup on a stove drying towels at the beach cooking eggs in boiling water warming

shepuryov [24]

Answer: drying towels at the beach.

Explanation:

Radiation simply has to do with the energy that is gotten from a particular source and then goes through some materials. It simply means the way energy is being transmitted as waves or heat through a certain medium.

From the options given, the scenario whereby a radiation takes place is when drying towels on the beach.

In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.

kondaur [170]

The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.95 6.95 m/s. The st

qwelly [4]

Answer:

18.1347 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-6.95^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=2.4619\ m$

Total height the ball falls is 2.4619+14.3 = 16.7619 m

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 16.7619+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.1347\ m/s$

The speed at which the stone reaches the ground is 18.1347 m/s

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with

Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

m = $\frac{h'}{h}$ = - $\frac{q}{p}$

h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

$\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f } - \frac{1}{p}$

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12 cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object
