Answer:

Explanation:

(A) What is the elapsed time?

t = 6.5 + 3.0 + .05 = 10 hr

(B) What is the total distance traveled?

d = 250 + 155 + 32 = 437 km

(C) What is the total displacement?

d = √((250 - 32)² + 155²) = 267.48644... = 267 km

as displacement is a vector, we also need a direction

θ = arctan((250 - 32) / 155) = 54.6° S of W

(D) What is the average speed for the trip?

437/10 = 43.7 km/hr

(E) What is the average velocity for the trip

267/10 = 26.7 km/hr  54.6° S of W

The first ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is 2.18 aj (attojoules). what is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of
jasenka [17]

1) Frequency: 3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J

The energy of a photon is given by

E=hf

where h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz


2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?
Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

answer 689910

M x G x H

mass = 77

G= 9.8

Meter = 915 this is the height

77 x 9.8= 754.6

754.6 X 915 = 689910 J
