A redshift reveals how an object in space (star/planet/galaxy) is moving compared to us. It lets astronomers measure a distance for the most distant (and therefore oldest) objects in our universe

Answer:

distance from speaker is 17.87 m

Explanation:

given data

distance from loudspeaker = 2.5 m

distance between loudspeaker = 3.0 m

room temperature = 20c

wavelength f = 686Hz

to find out

what distances from the speaker

solution

we know sound velocity c = 331.5 + 0.6 × 20c = 343.5

so wavelength of sound λ = c / f

wavelength = 343.5 / 686 = 0.5 m

when the difference in distance of speaker destructive interference will be

d = λ/2 × (2n-1)

for n = 1, 2 3 4 ..

d = 0.5/2 × (2n-1)

d = 0.250 , 0.75 , 1.25 , 1.750............ for n = 1, 2 3 .............

for d = 0.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x1)$ = 0.250

0.5 x1 = 7.6875

x1 = 15.375 m

for d = 0.75

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x2)$ = 0.75

1.5 x2 = 4.6875

x2 = 3.125 m

for d = 1.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x3)$ = 1.250

2.5 x2 = 1.1875

x3 = 0.475 m

for d = 1.750

x4 will be negative so we stop here

so the distance from speaker here is given below

distance = 2.5 + x

here x = 0.475 , 3.125 and 15.375 so

distance 1 = 2.5 + 0.475 = 2.975 m

distance 2 = 2.5 + 3.125 = 5.625 m

distance 3 = 2.5 + 15.375 = 17.875 m

final distance from speaker is 17.87 m

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

Schach [20]

Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K 1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

c =λ f = f / ν 1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

E = h f

Let's start the transformations

c = f λ = f / ν

f = c ν

E = h f

E = h c ν

E = KT

h c ν = K T

T = h c ν / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

c = 3 10⁸ m / s

K = 1.38 10⁻²³ J / K

v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

T = 1.44K

ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

T = 1,441 10⁻² 1 / 1,097 10⁷

T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

E = KT

T = E/K

T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

T = 1.16 10⁴ K
