THE PREFIX KILO MEANSTIMES A THOUSAND OR ONE THOUSAND

natita [175]3 years ago

6 0

In metric that means multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. It consists of a partial word like "kilo" or "milli". For example, the prefix "kilo" means "times a thousand" or " one thousand of" the units in question. So "kilometer" means one thousand meters and "kilogram" means one thousand grams.

Answer:

Explanation:

when magma cools Crystal's form because the solution is super saturated with respect to some minerals if the magma cools quickly the crystals do not have much time to form hence they are small and also the resulting rock is fine grained

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.

Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

$1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A$

and solving for t we find

$t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T$

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

$1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A$

And by solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T$

What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 446 nm?

Maslowich

When I went through with the math, the answer I came upon was:
6.67 X 10^14 

Here is how I did it: First of all we need to know the equation. 

c=nu X lamda 
(speed of light) = (frequency)(wavelength) 
(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(450nm) 

We want the answer in meters so we need to convert 450nm to meters. 
450nm= 4.5 X 10^ -7 m 
(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(4.5 X 10^ -7 m) 

Divide the speed of light by the wavelength. 
(3.0 X 10^8m/s) / (4.5 X 10^ -7m) =6.67 X 10^ 14 per second or s- 

Answer: 6.67 X 10^14 s- hope this helps
