Answer:

$n=7.05\times 10^9$ waves

Explanation:

Given that,

A wave oscillates with a period of $4.25\times 10^{-10}\ s$

We need to find the number of waves that will strike a signal detector in 3 seconds.

We know that,

Frequency = (no. of oscillations)/time

Time period = time/(no. of oscillations)

Let there are n waves that will strike

So,

$n=\dfrac{3}{4.25\times 10^{-10}}\\\\=7.05\times 10^9$

Hence, $7.05\times 10^9$ waves will strike in 3 seconds.

Answer with explanation:

Complete question is provided in the attachment below.

There are 3 undefined term in geometry :1) A Point 2) A line 3) A Plane.

When two lines are parallel they never meet , so the requirement to define them is lines and a plane on which they lie.

While when two lines are perpendicular , they intersect each other at a point by making a right angle between them.

So it required lines and a point to define it.

The dimensional formula of√(energy/) √mass is same as that of __________.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

<em>D. Velocity</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Dimensional Analysis</u>

The kinetic energy (K) can be calculated by the formula:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

Solving for v:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}$

Or, equivalently:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{\sqrt{2E}}{\sqrt{m}}}$

In dimensional terms, the quotient of the square roots of the energy and the mass is equivalent to the dimensions of the velocity (or speed),

A 7.5kg block is sliding down a wall with constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall

weqwewe [10]

Ok, a couple of things have to be accounted for here. First, since the block is moving relative to the wall we have to use the kinetic coefficient of friction, 0.40. The second consideration is that since the block is moving at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This means, by Newton's second Law, that the net force is zero. So the force of gravity must be equal to the friction force of the wall resisting its fall. This friction force is the product of the normal force (which we are seeking) and the kinetic coefficient of friction. We can then set these two forces equal:

$F_{gravity}=mg \\ \\ F_{friction}=F_{norm} \mu_k \\ \\ mg=F_{norm} \mu_k \\ \\ F_{norm}= \frac{mg}{ \mu_k} \\ \\ F_{norm}= \frac{7.5(9.79)}{0.4}=183.6N$

1.Compare why does things look different under water vs how light rays appear to bend

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Objects underwater seem closer to the surface than they actually are because light rays from the object bend away from the normal as they pass from water to air making the objects look closer.
