Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is 0 m/s².

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

0 m/s² is the right answer.

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest

mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

Where

$\lambda$ represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

$n_f$ represents Final energy states

and $n_i$ represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

$1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

now we will put the values into the above formula

$= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )$

$= 1218888.889 m^{-1}$

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of $\lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m$

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

A passenger train travels 392 mi in the same time that it takes a freight train to travel 322 mi. If the passenger train travels

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

distance traveled by Passenger train is $d_1=392\ mi$

distance traveled by Freight train is $d_2=322\ mi$

Both take same time to travel

suppose speed of freight train is x mph

so speed of passenger train is 20+x mph

we know time $=\frac{distance}{speed}$

$t=\frac{392}{20+x}=\frac{322}{x}$

$392x=322x+322\times 20$

$70x=322\times 20$

$x=92\ mph$

speed of passenger train $x+20=112\ mph$
