A hailstone traveling with a velocity of 43 meters per second comes to a virtual stop at 0.28 seconds after hitting water.what is the magnitude of it acceleration in water

Answers

Answer:

For Plato users the best answer will be 1.5 x 10^2 meters/second^2

Explanation:

as for the reasoning of the other answer, they didn't include scientific notation.

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (final speed) minus (initial speed)

                               =  ( zero )          minus  (43 m/s) =  - 43 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = ( - 43 m/s ) / (0.28 sec)  =  - 153.6 m/s²

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The only information on each sample's label is the material's coefficient of absorption. The coefficient of absorption listed on Sample A is 30%, on Sample B is 47%, and on Sample C is 62%. When your boss asks for your choice and the reasoning behind it, what would you tell him? A. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
B. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.
C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
D. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.

Answers

Answer: Option C: Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

Explanation:

The absorption coefficient of the samples is given. Sample A has 30%, Sample B has 47% and Sample C has 62%. This means that sample C absorbs the most percentage of energy incident on it. The energy in the reflected wave would be least. Hence, it would be best to use for a room to make it soundproof.


The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

A blue-light photon has a wavelength of4.80 × 10^−7 meter. What is the energy of the
photon?
(1) 1.86 × 10^22 J (3) 4.14 × 10^−19 J
(2) 1.44 × 10^2 J (4) 3.18 × 10^−26 J

Answers

Energy = hc/λ, where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength.

Energy = (6.626 x 10^-34*3.00 x 10^8)/(4.80 × 10^−7)= 4.14*10^-19 J, which is 3.

Normally, when solving these equations, don't forget to check the units are correct (eg. wavelength is in meters) and dont forget to include the units in the calculation.






Taking into account the definition of photon, energy of a photon, wavelength, frecuency and propagation speed, the correct answer is the option (3): The energy of a photon with aa wavelength of 4.80×10⁻⁷ meter is 4.14×10⁻¹⁹ J.

What is a photon and energy of a photon

You have to know that electromagnetic radiation carries energy, which can be absorbed or emitted. To explain the processes of emission and absorption, Plank and Einstein proposed that the energy of radiation is composed of indivisible units (quanta). In each elemental process only a quantum of light can be emitted or absorbed. Each of these quanta was called a "photon".

The exchanges of energy between matter and radiation take place not continuously, but by discrete and indivisible quantities or quanta of energy. The quantum of energy is proportional to the frequency of radiation.

The relationship between the amount of energy (E) transported by the photon and its frequency (f) is determined by the following expression, where the energy of a photon is obtained by multiplying Planck's constant h by the frequency f of electromagnetic radiation:

E=h×f

What is wavelength, frecuency and propagation speed

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

On the other side, frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

Finally, the propagation speed is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement.

The propagation speed relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f×λ

All electromagnetic waves propagate in a vacuum at a constant speed of 3×10⁸ m/s, the speed of light.

What is the energy of the photon in this case

In this case, you know:

  • h=  6.63*10⁻³⁴ Js
  • f= v÷λ where v= 3×10⁸ m/s and  λ=4.80×10⁻⁷ m

Replacing in the definition of energy of a photon:

E=h× (v÷λ)

E= 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× (3×10⁸ m/s ÷4.80×10⁻⁷ m)

Solving:

E= 4.14×10⁻¹⁹ J

Finally, the correct answer is the option (3): The energy of a photon with aa wavelength of 4.80×10⁻⁷ meter is 4.14×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Suppose the mass of a certain liquid is 35 g. You place it in a beaker that has a mass of 75 g. What is the mass of the liquid? plz help.

Answers

If you are looking for the mass of the liquid with the beaker, you just have to add the beaker mass and liquid mass

35+75= 110 g

Final answer:

The mass of the liquid remains at 35 g regardless of its location or what it's placed inside.

Explanation:

The mass of a liquid is simply the amount of matter it contains, and it does not change regardless of where or in what you place it. So, if the mass of a certain liquid is given as 35 g, this mass value remains unchanged whether you place it in a beaker, cup, or any other container. Therefore, the mass of the liquid in the beaker is still 35 g, and the mass of the beaker doesn't affect it.
