The visible spectrum extends from 390 nm to 700 nm. It consists of the colors red (620 - 750 nm), orange (590 - 620 nm), yellow (570 - 590 nm), green (495 - 570 nm), blue (450 - 495 nm), and violet (380 - 450 nm), so a wavelength of 449 nm would correspond to a violet hue.

Consider a 4-mg raindrop that falls from a cloud at a height of 2 km. When the raindrop reaches the ground, it won't kill you or
inna [2210]

Answer:

The work performed by air resistance totals -0.0782 J

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the energy of a raindrop must remain constant.

At the outset, the raindrop possesses only gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the raindrop.

g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)

h = height.

Let's determine the initial potential energy of the raindrop:

(4 mg should be converted into kg: 4 mg · 1 kg / 1 × 10⁶ mg = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg)

PE = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · 9.8 m/s² · 2000 m

PE = 0.0784 J

As the raindrop descends, some of its potential energy converts into kinetic energy while the rest is lost to the air resistance. Upon reaching the ground, all initial potential energy has been either turned into kinetic energy or spent overcoming air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

Work by air = work done by air resistance.

The kinetic energy at ground level is computed as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass

v = velocity

<pThus:

KE = 1/2 · 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · (10 m/s)²

KE = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Now, we can find the work done by air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

0.0784 J = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J + Work by air

Work by air = 0.0784 J - 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Work by air = 0.0782 J

Since work is performed in the opposite direction to movement, this results in a negative value. Therefore, the work done by air resistance is -0.0782 J.

serg [2593]

Answer:

a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Data provided

initial velocity v₀=20 cm/s at time t=3s

final velocity vf=0 at time t=8 s

Required

Average Acceleration for the interval from 3s to 8s

Solution

Acceleration can be defined as the first derivative of velocity concerning time

a_{acceleriation} =\frac{dv_{velocity}}{dt_{time}}\\a_{acceleriation} =\frac{v_{f}-v_{o} }{dt}\\ a_{acceleriation} =\frac{0-20cm/s }{8s-3s}\\ a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

If you are anchored in a fixed spot, and a set of six waves pass underneath you during a 60 second time interval, what is the wa
Ostrovityanka [2208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Within a duration of 60 seconds, six waves are observed.

With a total of 6 waves,

this equates to 3 wavelengths.

As a result,

the period for each wavelength is calculated as 60 divided by 3.

Thus, period = 20 seconds.

According to the frequency-period relationship,

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 20

f = 0.05 Hz

A good quarterback can throw a football at 27 m/s (about 60 mph). If we assume that the ball is caught at the same height from w
ValentinkaMS [2425]

Response:

The ball remained airborne for 3.896 seconds

Explanation:

Given that

g = 9.8 m/s², representing gravitational acceleration,

If the angle of launch is 45°, the horizontal range will be maximized.

Both horizontal and vertical launch velocities are equal, each equating to

v_h  =  v cos θ

v_h  =  27 × cos 45°

         = 19.09 m/s.

The duration to reach maximum height is half of the flight time.

v = u + at   ∵ v = 0 (at maximum height)

19.09 - 9.8 t₁ = 0

t₁ = 1.948 s

The total time in the air equals twice the time to reach maximum height

2 t₁ = 3.896 s

The horizontal distance covered is

D = v × t

D = 3.896×19.09

   = 74.375 m

The ball was in the air for 3.896 seconds

The energy difference between the 5d and the 6s sublevels in gold accounts for its color. If this energy difference is about 2.7
Yuliya22 [2438]
The light's wavelength absorbed during the transition is 459 nm. Energy difference between the 5-d and the 6-s sub-levels in gold is expressed as ΔE. Let the wavelength associated with the electron's transition from the 5-d to the 6-s state be λ. The relationship that describes the connection between energy and wavelength is defined as: E = hc/λ, where E stands for photon energy, h represents Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ denotes the wavelength of the photon. Therefore, the absorption wavelength in this transition stands at 459 nm.
