A pendulum is not a wave.
-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.
-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.
-- Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.
-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.
If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) ,
you would end up with
Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz
Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ? That's pretty absurd.
This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
Answer:
20 m/s westward
Explanation:
Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:
is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy
Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
and the direction will be westward (negative sign).
Answer:
1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K 1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K
Explanation:
The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is
E = K T
The relationship of the speed of light
c =λ f = f / ν 1/λ= ν
The Planck equation is
E = h f
Let's start the transformations
c = f λ = f / ν
f = c ν
E = h f
E = h c ν
E = KT
h c ν = K T
T = h c ν / K =( h c / K) ν
Let's replace the constants
h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s
c = 3 10⁸ m / s
K = 1.38 10⁻²³ J / K
v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1
T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²
A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²
T = 1.44K
ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m
T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²
T = 148K
1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m
As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v
T = (h c / K) 1 /λ
T = 1,441 10⁻² 1 / 1,097 10⁷
T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K
E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J
E = KT
T = E/K
T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³
T = 1.16 10⁴ K
