Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

The best way for me to visualize the relation between wavelength, frequency, and energy is to think about actual ocean waves. Wavelength is a measure of the distance between two equivalent points on consecutive waves (think wave peak to wave peak). Lets say you are building a sand castle and want to see how many waves hit your castle over a period of 10 seconds. If the distance between each wave is 10 ft and the wave is traveling at 1 foot per second then you will only have one wave hit your castle. If the wavelength is 1/2 that (5 ft) then you will have 2 waves hit your castle in the same amount of time. This is the same concept behind waves in physics. The smaller the distance between each wave, the more waves and therefore more energy that will be delivered.

In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second project

Trava [24]

Answer:

Second projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

Explanation:

By linear momentum conservation

Pi = Pf

m x U + M x 0 = (m + M) x V

$U= \dfrac{(m + M)\times V}{m}$

Now Since this projectile + pendulum system rises to height 'h', So using energy conservation:

KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf

PEi = 0, at reference point

KEf = 0, Speed of system zero at height 'h'

$KEi = \dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2}$

PEf = (m + M) g h

So,

$\dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2} + 0 = 0+ (m + M) g h$

$V =\sqrt {2gh}$

So from above value of V

Initial velocity of projectile =U

$U=\dfrac{(M+m)\sqrt{2gh}}{m}$

Now Since mass of projectile and pendulum are constant, So Initial velocity of projectile is proportional to the square root of height swung by pendulum.

Which means

$\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}$

$U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}\times U_1$

$U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.2}{2.6}}\times U_1$

U₂ = 1.41 U₁

Therefore we can say that ,Second projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

What is the law of gravity?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

A beam of light has a wavelength of 4.5 x10^-7 meter in a vacuum. the frequency of this light is

valkas [14]

The basic relationship between frequency and wavelength for light (which is an electromagnetic wave) is
$c= f \lambda$
where c is the speed of light, f the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength of the wave.
Using $\lambda=4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m$ and $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we can find the value of the frequency:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.7 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$
