Answer:

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

Explanation:

Mechanical waves need a material medium to be able to be transmitted, in the case of sound waves, one of the most common media is air, but it is also transmitted in other media in this case, stationery is transmitted.

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

The speed of the wave is proportional to the density of the material, so the wave that the student hears arrives much faster through the desk than through the air

When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}

  = 4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

  = \frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  = 2.87 \ eV

(b)

As we know,

⇒ Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ 1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0

⇒                       \Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

⇒                            =\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

⇒                            =1.4375 \ eV

An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

A ticker timer makes 50 dots per second. When a body is pulled by a tap through the timer, the distance between the third and fo
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.  

Use first equation of motion

v =  u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by p=mv

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write I=km, where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- K_A = K_B (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- p_A = 3 p_B (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B

If we divide first equation by second one we get

v_A = 3 v_B

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9
