Explanation:

it is equal to the speed (v) of a wave train in a medium divided by its frequency (f): λ = v/f. Waves of different wavelengths.

Answer:

It is measured in the direction of the wave. Description: Wavelength is the distance from one crest to another, or from one trough to another, of a wave (which may be an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, or any other wave).

Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a s

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 1.289 m

Explanation:

The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom

$V_{o}=3.10 m/s$ is the venom's initial speed

$\theta=47\°$ is the angle

$t$ is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0.44 m$ is the initial height of the venom

$y=0$ is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:

$0=0.44 m+3.10 m/s sin\theta(47\°)+\frac{-9.8m/s^{2} t^{2}}{2}$ (3)

Rewritting (3):

$-4.9 m/s^{2} t^{2} + 2.267 m/s t + 0.44 m=0$ (4)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (5)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2$

$b=2.267 m/s$

$c=0.44 m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-2.267 \pm \sqrt{2.267^{2}-4(-4.9)(0.44)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (6)

Solving (6) we find the positive result is:

$t=0.609 s$ (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

$x=(3.10 m/s)cos(47\°)(0.609 s)$ (8)

We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:

$x=1.289 m$

Two planets have masses 2 x 10^23 kg and 5 x 10^22 kg, and the distance between them is 3 x 10^16 m. Calculate the gravitational

xxTIMURxx [149]

Explanation:

given,

mass of one planet (m1)=2*10^23 kg

mass of another planet (m2)=5*10^22kg

distance between them(d)=3*10^16m

gravitational constant(G)=6.67*10^-11Nm^2kg^-2

gravitational force between them(F)=?

we know,

F=Gm1m2/d^2

or, F=6.67*10^-11*2*10^23*5*10^22/(3*10^16)^2

or, F=6.67*2*5*10^-11+23+22/3*3*10^32

or, F=66.7*10^34/9*10^32

or, F=7.41*10^34-32

•°• F=7.41*10^2

thus, the gravitational force between them is 7.14*10^2

Arthur conducts a controlled experiment several times. The results of each test show that his hypothesis is not supported. Which

sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

p = - i h’ d φ / dx

h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a) φ = $e^{ikx}$

.d φ dx = i k $e^{ikx}$

We replace

p = h’ k $e^{ikx}$

i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

p = 0

c) φ = $e^{-ax^{2} }$

d φ / dx = -a 2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

.p = i a g ’2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

The average moment is

p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

p = ∞
