Answer:

The electron’s wavefunction has at least one node (i.e., at least one place in space where it goes to zero).

Explanation:

We know that the p-orbitals have nodes. A node is a region where the probability of finding an electron goes down to zero.

P orbitals are oriented along the x,y,z Cartesian axes and are known to have angular nodes along the axes.

Hence, if an electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state, the electron’s wavefunction has at least one node

You need to design a photodetector that can respond to the entire range of visible light. True or False

Rasek [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

A photo detector that can respond to the entire rang of visible light can be design, it is true.

Photo detector is a device in an optical receiver which receives optical signals and convert it to electric signal. It is the key device position in front of the optical receiver.

A parked car's horn (belonging to a musician) emits a concert A of frequency 440 on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. Yo

julsineya [31]

Answer:

19.08 m/s

Explanation:

f = actual frequency emitted by the parked car's horn = 440 Hz

V = speed of sound = 342 m/s

f' = frequency of the horn observed by you = 466 Hz

v = speed of your car moving towards the parked car = ?

frequency of the horn observed by you is given as

$f' = \frac{Vf}{V - v}$

$466 = \frac{(342)(440)}{342 - v}$

v = 19.08 m/s

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo

Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight W, with magnitude W = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces T₁ and T₂ with equal magnitude T₁ = T₂ = T = 1000 N, both making an angle of θ with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ F = T₁ sin(θ) + T₂ sin(180° - θ) - W = 0

We have sin(180° - θ) = sin(θ) for all θ, so the above reduces to

2T sin(θ) = W

2 (1000 N) sin(θ) = 100 N

sin(θ) = 0.05

θ ≈ 2.87°

If y is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(θ) = (15 m - y) / (100 m)

Solve for y :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - y) / (100 m)

y = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

y ≈ 9.99 m

Which method will correctly determine whether the forces on an object are balanced or unbalanced?

MaRussiya [10]

For this case, the first thing you should do is define a reference system.

Once the system is defined, we must follow the following steps:

1) Do the sum of forces in a horizontal direction

2) Do the sum of forces in vertical direction

The forces will be balanced if for each direction the net force is equal to zero.

The forces will be unbalanced if for each direction the net force is nonzero.

Answer:

Add the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions separately.

During a supernova, the outer layers of a star are blown off and the star's core shrinks down by a factor of 10,000 or more to f

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. the core will spin faster.

Explanation:

By law of conservation of angular momentum

(mvR)i= (mvR)f

m= mass of star

v= speed of star

R= radius of star

i= initial

f= final

since, size(R) of the star is reduced by factor of 10,000 and mass remains the same, the velocity must increase by the same factor to keep the angular momentum conserved.

Hence, a. the core will spin faster.
