Answer:

d. displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

If I were to transmit a radio wave in our three dimensional world could a fourth dimensional “being” be able to receive it?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Depends. Are you talking about a mathematical 4th dimension (in which there is infinite dimensions) or some sort of etheral dimension (in which there is no scientific evidence for)

If you mean the first then yes. But it depends how these beings exist. From our understanding we only can theorize shapes in 4-d and if we assume that there is only one universe these "beings" arleady exist and thus any message in 3-d would be sent to them like a shadow ("flat").
If they exist in a alternate "plane" then you would need some method to transverse this plan and if u did, then we would easily be able to communicate, but we would at first sound like a wild animal. They either would ignore us, not understand or perceive us, or they would attempt to send back a signal (essential they are ET's)

IF you mean the second then thats some mystic stuff and its pretty creepy (although a fun read for me :P)

Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 kg), each having (a) a speed o

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part A:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 6.05x10^{-14}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Part B:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 1.29x10^{-13}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The wavelength of each particle can be determined by means of the De Broglie equation.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ (1)

Where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ (2)

Part A

Case for the electron:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} J.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

But $J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Case for the proton:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 6.05x10^{-14}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

<em>Part B </em>

For part b, the wavelength of the electron and proton for that energy will be determined.

First, it is necessary to find the velocity associated to that kinetic energy:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$2KE = mv^{2}$

$v^{2} = \frac{2KE}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}$ (3)

Case for the electron:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

but $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

$v = 1.316x10^{8}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(1.316x10^{8}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Case for the proton :

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

But $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

$v = 3.07x10^{6}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(3.07x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.29x10^{-13}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

The end diastolic volume of a heart is 140 mL Assume that it is a sphere. At end diastole, the intraventricular pressure is 7mmI

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that, V = 140 mL = 0.00014 m3

Assume that it is a sphere. so, we have

V = (4/3) \pir3

r3 = (0.00014 m3) (3) / (4) (3.14)

r = \sqrt[3]{}\sqrt[3]{}3\sqrt{}3.34 x 10-5 m3

r = 1.93 x 10-7 m

(a) The wall tension at end diastole will be given as :

using a formula, we have

T = P r / 2 H

where, P = intraventricular pressure at end diastole = 7 mmHg = 933.2 Pa

H = wall thickness at this time = 0.011 m

then, we get

T = (933.2 Pa) (1.93 x 10-7 m) / 2 (0.011 m)

T = 8.18 x 10-3 N

(b) The wall tension at the end of isovolumetric contraction will be given as :

using a formula, we have

T = P r / 2 H

where, P = intraventricular pressure at end of isovolumetric contraction = 80 mmHg = 10665.7 Pa

H = wall thickness at this time = 0.011 m

then, we get

T = (10665.7 Pa) (1.93 x 10-7 m) / 2 (0.011 m)

T = 9.35 x 10-2 N

(d) The wall stress from A and B which will be given as :

we know that, \sigma = T / w

For part A, we have

\sigmaA = (8.18 x 10-3 N) / (0.011 m)

\sigmaA = 0.743 N/m

For part B, we have

\sigmaB = (9.35 x 10-2 N) / (0.011 m)

\sigmaB = 8.5 N/m

Which restricted basin has the coolest temperatures?

sattari [20]

Hudson Bay is the restricted basin that has the coolest temperatures

Hudson Bay is a restricted basin which remains frozen or is dominated by ice over the summer solstice and through- out much of the high-sun season. This basin experiences a harsh continental climate.

The average annual temperature in almost the entire bay is around 0 °C (32 °F) or below. In the extreme northeast, winter temperatures average as low as −29 °C or −20.2 °F. The region of this basin has very low year-round average temperatures.

This basin starts freezing up by early November, and the northern part of the basin is typically entirely iced over by the end of the month.

correct answer is Hudson bay
