A solid has a definite shape and volume, since its particles are held closely together leaving no room.

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
givi [52]
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev

Consider the four quantum numbers of an electron in an atom, n, l, ml, and ms. The energy of an electron in an isolated atom dep
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.

Explanation:

The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.

The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.

The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates E_n, and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

E_n=-\cfrac{13.6}{n^2}\, eV

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.

A 250 g object is hung onto a spring. It stretches 18 cm. Find the spring's spring constant
Juliette [100K]
<h2>Answer: 13.61 N/m</h2>

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation of a spring is directly proportional to the modulus of the force F applied to it, <u>as long as the spring is not permanently deformed</u>:

F=k (x-x_{o})    (1)

Where:

k is the elastic constant of the spring. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring.

x_{o} is the length of the spring without applying force.

x is the length of the spring with the force applied.

According to this, we have a spring where only the force due gravity is applied.

In other words, the force applied is the weigth W of the block:

W=m.g   (2)

Where m=250g=0.25kg is the mass of the block and g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the gravity acceleration.

W=(0.25kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})   (3)

W=2.45N   (4)

Knowing the force applied W and x=18cm=0.18m and x_{o}=0, we can substitute the values in equation (1) and find k:

W=k (x-x_{o})    (5)

2.45N=k (0.18m-0m)    (6)

<u>Finally:</u>

k=13.61\frac{N}{m}
