Explanation:

Explanation: When it is at the first point , it doesn't have a proper running force and energy is stored, therefore, potential energy is more. And at forth point, it has a large running force and it has now kinetic energy. And that's why point 1 has greater potential energy than point

A 27.0-g object moving to the right at 21.5 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 11.0-g object moving in the same dire

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

final speed of the first object: 17.73 cm/s

final speed of the second object: 24.23 cm/s

Explanation:

Data:

mass of the first object, m1 = 27.0 g

mass of the second object, m2 = 11.0 g

initial speed of the first object, v1i = 21.5 cm/s

initial speed of the second object, v2i = 15 cm/s

final speed of the first object, v1f = ? cm/s

final speed of the second object, v2f = ? cm/s

Elastic collisions formula:

v1f = (m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2) * v1i + 2*m2/(m1 + m2) * v2i

v1f = (27 - 11)/(27 + 11) * 21.5 + 2*11/(27 + 11) * 15

v1f = 17.73 cm/s

v2f = 2*m1/(m1 + m2) * v1i + (m2 - m1)/(m1 + m2)*v2i

v2f = 2*27/(27 + 11) * 21.5 + (11 - 27)/(27 + 11)*15

v2f = 24.23 cm/s

The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?

BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

$c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

$\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

2. Period: $1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

The frequency of this light wave is $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$ (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s$
