A laser pointer used in a lecture hall emits light at 650 nm what is the frequency

1 answer:

7 0

The formula for frequency is speed of light divided by wavelength. 650 nm represents the wavelength and 3x10^8 m/s is the speed of light. If you convert 650nm to meters you get 6.5x10^-7 m so you can divide using the formula above, giving you 4.6x10^14 1/s or Hz, the unit of frequency in Physics.

Answer:

$\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by $\alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}$

Angular velocity is related to the period by $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Putting all together:

$\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})$

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

$\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s$

$T_i=0.0786s$

$T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s$

So for our values we have:

$\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.

A hot-air balloon is accelerating upward under the influence of two forces, its weight and the buoyant force. for simplicity, co

Elenna [48]

Let V = the volume of the balloon
Force of gravity = V * ?hot * g downward
Buoyant force = V * ?cool * g upward
Net upward force F = V * ?cool * g - V * ?hot * g

F = V g (?cool - ?hot)

Mass of the balloon m = V ?hot

a = F/m = V g (?cool - ?hot)/(V ?hot)

a = g(?cool/?hot - 1)

a = 9.8(1.29/0.93 - 1)

a = 3.79 m/s^2

Answer is 3.79 m/s^2
