What is the energy (in joules) of an ultraviolet photon with wavelength 110 nm?

Physics

Anon25 [30]3 years ago
5 0

For light or ultraviolet, the formula for energy can be calculated using Planck’s equation. That is:

E =  h c / ʎ

where,

h is the Planck’s constant = 6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s

c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

ʎ is the wavelength of light = 110 nm = 110 x 10^-9 m

 

So calculating for energy E:

E = (6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s) * (3 * 10^8 m/s) / (110 x 10^-9 m)

E = 1.807 x 10^-18 J

A rifle bullet with mass ma = 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass mb = 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless,
Doss [256]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

Explanation:

a)  Kinetic energy of block = potential energy in spring  

½ mv² = ½ kx²

Here m stands for combined mass (block + bullet),

which is just 1 kg.  Spring constant k is unknown, but you can find it from given data:  

k = 0.75 N / 0.25 cm

= 3 N/cm, or 300 N/m.  

From the energy equation above, solve for v,

v = v √(k/m)  

= 0.15 √(300/1)

= 2.598 m/s.

b)  Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.

Since m = 1 kg,

v = 2.598 m/s,

p = 2.598 kg m/s.  

This is the same momentum carried by bullet as it strikes the block.  Therefore, if u is bullet speed,  

u = 2.598 kg m/s / 8 × 10⁻³ kg

= 324.76 m/s.

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400-m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.5 m/s² is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s²
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: The Porsche Wins. Arrives 19secs earlier before the Honda.

Explanation: The head start of 1secs corresponded with the difference in acceleration {3.5m/s² - 3m/s²}=0.5m/s²

Using the first equation of motion we obtain the velocity which correspond to this acceleration (0.5m/s²) and time of 1secs where initial velocity u = 0

V = u + at

V= 0 + at

V = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5m/s

Now let find the velocity of each of the car.

If V. a

0.5m/s 0.5m/s²

........m/s. 3.5m/s²

Velocity of porche Vp

= (3.5/0.5) * 0.5 = 3.5 m/s

Also if. V. a

0.5m/s. 0.5m/s²

.....m/s. 3 m/s²

Velocity of Honda Vh

= {3/0.5} * 0.5 = 3m/s

So let's find the time t taken by both cars to cover the distance of 400m

Recall,

Velocity = distance/time

Time t = distance/velocity

For Porche, t = 400/3.5 =114.29secs

For Honda, t = 400/3 = 133.33secs

Looking critically, we noticed that Porche car took shorter time.

The difference In time is

= (133.33 - 114.29)secs = 19.04secs

Which of these properties of a star best determines its life cycle?
Rashid [163]

The initial mass of a star determines its evolution.

Smaller stars on the main sequence will swell to become giants. Larger stars on the main sequence will swell to become supergiants.
