3 0

Explanation:

Given: \lambda = 500\:\text{nm} = 5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}

\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}}

\:\:\:\:\:= 6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz}

The work function \phi is then

\phi = h\nu = (6.626×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz})

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 3.98×10^{-19}\:\text{J}

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.0 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

Tmin = The minimum wall thickness =PD/2бp

where D = diameter of 8.0 m

Internal pressure = 1.62 MPa

Then

The yield strength = 295MPa/3.0 = 98.33

thus,

PD/2бp = 1.62 * 8000/ 2 *98.33

= 12960/196.66 = 65.90

Therefore the wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

How is it possible for a person watching a baseball game on TV to hear sounds before someone who is actually watching the same g
Andreyy89

Answer:

It is possible because, the TV broadcast audio and video signals in radio frequency which travels at the speed of light while the audio signals travel to those present in the stadium at the speed of sound which is over eight hundred thousand times slower than the speed of light

Explanation:

It is possible because of the following;

1. TV signals from the camera (including the captured sound) very close to the field of play are transmitted through the radio frequency bands and as such are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels at the speed of light which is about 300,000 km/second

It will therefore, take 1 second for a sound of the game to reach someone located at 300,000,000 meters watching a live televised game

2. The speed of sound is about 343 m/second and it therefore takes up to 2 seconds for a sound to reach someone 686 meters away from the ball in the stadium.
