Answer:

5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency = 5.085 x 10¹⁴Hz

Speed of light  = 3.0 x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the orange light  = ?

Solution:

The wavelength can be derived using the expression below;

            wavelength  = \frac{v}{f}

v is the speed of light

f is the frequency

            wavelength  = \frac{3 x 10^{8} }{5.085 x 10^{14} }   = 5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

A basketball player jumps 76cm to get a rebound. How much time does he spend in the top 15cm of the jump (ascent and descent)?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The time for final 15 cm of the jump equals 0.1423 seconds.

Explanation:

The initial velocity required by the basketball player to be able to jump 76 cm can be found using the third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final velocity of the player

'u' is the initial velocity of the player

'a' is acceleration due to gravity

's' is the height the player jumps

Since the final velocity at the maximum height should be 0 thus applying the values in the above equation we get

0^2=u^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.76\\\\\therefore u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.76}=3.86m/s

Now the veocity of the palyer after he cover'sthe initial 61 cm of his journey can be similarly found as

v^{2}=3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66}=1.3966m/s

Thus the time for the final 15 cm of the jump can be found by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at

where symbols have the usual meaning

Applying the given values we get

t=\frac{v-u}{g}\\\\t=\frac{0-1.3966}{-9.81}=0.1423seconds

What makes output energy less than input energy?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent

Can someone help me solve #6
MAVERICK [17]

So you know the speed of a wave, and speed is how much the wave moves per second. This wave travels 3x10^8 meters per second. So to find how for you traveled you need to know how many seconds the wave traveled for, 20 minutes is equal to 1200 seconds (times 20 minutes by 60). Then times the seconds by the speed (3x10^8 m/s)x(1200 s) = 3.6x10^11 meters
