Answer:

Both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement.

Explanation:

The main reason why people and bears, slip and fall on ice/snow is that both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement. We present below a comparative chart of coefficients of friction associated with different materials:

Material Coefficient of Friction - Static

Ice/Snow 0.05 - 0.3

Wood 0.2 - 0.6

Asphalt 0.5 - 0.7

Grass 0.3 - 0.5

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4eV. calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in a GaAs solar cell

Viktor [21]

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

$v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s$

Distance=35 m

Time= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving= $\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s$

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground= $v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s$

Time= $\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s$

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre

hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .

rate of volume flow of one stream

= cross sectional area x velocity

= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of other stream

= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7

= 64.15 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth

= 11.2 x d x 2.8

= 31.36 d

volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams

31.36 d = 64.15 + 64.68

31.36 d = 128.83

d = 4.10 m /s .

An open organ pipe 30 cm long and a closed organ pipe 23 cm long, both of same diameter , are each sounding its first overtone ,

cupoosta [38]

First overtone of open organ pipe is given as

$f_{1o} = \frac{v}{L_1 + 2e}$

first overtone of closed organ pipe is given as

$f_{1c} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}$

now they are in unison so we will have

$\frac{v}{L_1 + 2e} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}$

$\frac{1}{30 + 2e} = \frac{3}{4(23 + e)}$

$90 + 6e = 92 + 4e$

$e = 1 cm$

so end correction of both pipes is e = 1 cm
