Answer:

776.6 w

1.04 hp

Explanation:

given:

Mass, m = 190kg

height change, h = 25m

time elapsed, t = 60 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy required raising 190 kg of water to a height of 25m

= mgh

= 190 x 9.81 x 25

= 46,597.5 J

Power required in 60 s

= Energy required ÷ time elapsed

= 46,597.5 ÷ 60

= 776.6 Watts  (Use conversion 1 W = 0.00134102 hp)

= 776.6 w x 0.00134102 hp/w

= 1.04 hp

La tensión en newtons necesaria para que una onda transversal cuya longitud de onda es 3.33 cm vibre a razón de 625 ciclos por s
NemiM [27]

Answer:

9.34 N

Explanation:

First of all, we can calculate the speed of the wave in the string. This is given by the wave equation:

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the waves in this string we have:

f=625 Hz, since it completes 625 cycles per second

\lambda=3.33 cm = 0.033 m is the wavelength

So the speed of the wave is

v=(625)(0.0333)=20.6 m/s

The speed of the waves in a string is related to the tension in the string by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} (1)

where

T is the tension in the string

\mu=\frac{m}{L} is the linear density

In this problem:

m=16.5 g = 16.5\cdot 10^{-3} kg is the mass of the string

L = 0.75 m is the its length

Solving the equation (1) for T, we find the tension:

T=\mu v^2 = \frac{m}{L} v^2 = \frac{16.5\cdot 10^{-3}}{0.75}(20.6)^2=9.34 N

A light wave has a wavelength of 450 nanometers. What is the frequency of this light?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Frequency, f=6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength of a light wave is 450 nm. It is required to find the frequency of this light wave. The speed of light is given by c. So,

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency of this light

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{450\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the frequency of this light is 6.67\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
