Answer:

f= 5.11 * 10^{10}Hz

Explanation:

Given

\lambda = 0.587cm

<em>See comment for complete question</em>

Required

Calculate the frequency

Frequency is calculated using:

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

Where

c \to speed of light

c =299792458 ms^{-1}

\lambda = 0.587cm

Convert wave length to meters

\lambda = 0.587 * 0.01m

\lambda = 0.00587m

So, we have:

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

f=\frac{299792458 ms^{-1}}{0.00587m}

f=\frac{299792458}{0.00587}Hz

f= 5.11 * 10^{10}Hz

A 48.5 kg student runs down the sidewalk and jumps with a horizontal speed of 4.25 m/s onto a stationary skateboard. The student
storchak [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

2.39 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is conservation of momentum here in this problem so we will use the following problem:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

where the mass of the student m_1 is 48.5 kg,

the mass of the skateboard m_2 is m_2 kg,

the initial speed of the student u_1 is 4.25 m/s; and

the speed of the student and skateboard  v is 4.05 m/s.

So substituting the given values in the above formula to get:

(48.5*4.25) + (m_2 * 0) = (48.5 + m_2 ) * 4.05

206.125=196.425+4.05m_2

206.125 - 196.425 = 4.05m_2

m_2=\frac{9.7}{4.05}

m_2=2.39

Therefore, the mass of the skateboard is 2.39 kg.

A 3.0 kg ball is lifted two meters upward in two seconds, and a 6.0 kg ball is lifted one meter upward in one second? Which requ
Sav [38]

Answer:

1. They both uses same energy

2. The 6 kg ball requires more power than 3kg ball

Explanation:

Sample 1

m = 3kg

g= 10m/s^2

h = 2m

t = 2secs

W = mgh = 3 x 10 x 2 = 60J

P= w/t = 60/2 = 30watts

Sample 2

m = 6kg

g= 10m/s^2

h = 1m

t = 1sec

W = mgh = 6 x 10 x 1 = 60J

P= w/t = 60/1 = 60watts

They both uses same energy but different power. The 6 kg ball requires more power than 3kg ball

Calculate the heat energy released when 17.7 g of liquid mercury at 25.00 °c is converted to solid mercury at its melting point.
maria [59]

Answer;

Q = 359.2-J  

Explanation;

Given that;

Constants for mercury at 1 atm  

Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)  

melting point is 234.32 K  

Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol

17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;

°C + 273 = 298 K;

2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol  

Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)  

Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)  

Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J  

Q = 359.2-J  

Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)

horsena [70]

Answer:

L₁ = W×L / w

Explanation:

The scenario is shown in the image below.

<u>At the pivot point, the torque acting on this point must be zero so that there will be easy back and forth without the heavier child.</u>

<u>Torque created by lighter child + Torque created by the heavier child = 0</u>

Thus,

According to the axis system, the heavier child is left to the pivot (origin), so,

W×(- L ) + w× L₁ = 0

So,

<u>L₁ = W×L / w</u>
