Answer:

2.464 cm above the water surface

Explanation:

Recall that for the cube to float, means that the volume of water displaced weights the same as the weight of the block.

We calculate the weight of the block multiplying its density (0.78 gr/cm^3) times its volume (11.2^3  cm^3):

weight of the block = 0.78 * 11.2^3  gr

Now the displaced water will have a volume equal to the base of the cube (11.2 cm^2) times the part of the cube (x) that is under water. Recall as well that the density of water is 1 gr/cm^3.

So the weight of the volume of water displaced is:

weight of water = 1 * 11.2^2 * x

we make both weight expressions equal each other for the floating requirement:

0.78 * 11.2^3 = 11.2^2 * x

then x = 0.78 * 11.2 cm = 8.736 cm

This "x" is the portion of the cube under water. Then to estimate what is left of the cube above water, we subtract it from the cube's height (11.2 cm) as follows:

11.2 cm - 8.736 cm = 2.464 cm

When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho
Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer :  The wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = 4.29\times 10^{-19}J

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

As, \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

So, E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength of photon  = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}

\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Conversion used : 1nm=10^{-9}m

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

The Displacement is 5m. We found that using the
Llana [10]

Answer:

A vector can be written as:

(R, θ)

Where R is the magnitude, in this case, we know that the magnitude of the displacement is 5m

Then:

R = 5m

and θ defines the direction, it's an angle measured from the positive x-axis.

(In the image, θ would be the angle located at the point A)

Now, if you look at the image, you can see a triangle rectangle.

Where the adjacent cathetus has a length of 4,

the opposite cathetus has a length of 3 units

the hypotenuse has a length of 5 units.

So we can use any trigonometric rule to find the value of θ, like:

sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/hypotenuse

Then:

sin(θ) = 3m/5m

Now we can use the inverse sin function, Asin(x), in both sides

Asin( sin(θ)) = θ = Asin( 3/5) = 36.87°

then the vector is:

(5m, 36.87°)

Now, if we define the positive y-axis as the North, and the positive x-axis as the East.

This vector would point at 36.87° North of East.

(or almost Northeast)
