What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and velocity?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:A wave has a wavelength λ, which is the distance between adjacent identical parts of the wave. The wave velocity and the wavelength are related to the wave's frequency and period by vw=λT or vw=fλ.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum

Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$

Which of these surface features are formed because of the heating of groundwater?

Tju [1.3M]

The correct option is C.
Hot springs and geysers are formed as a result of been heated up by heat from the interior of the earth. This type of heat is called geothermal heat. A hot spring refers to a spring that is produced as a result of geothermally heated water. Hot springs usually have very high temperature. Geysers is a form of hot spring and it refers to a pool of water that has seeped through a opening in the earth surface.
