Answer:

The distance between successive crests decreases.

Explanation:

If f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength of a wave, then the speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\times \lambda

on rearranging,

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

We know that wavelength of a wave is equal to the distance between successive crests or troughs.

If the frequency of a wave increases while its speed remains constant, the wavelength decreases i.e. the distance between successive crests decreases.

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

                                  I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

                                  I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

                                  I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

                                  I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

                                  P_s = I_s*a

                                  P_s = 11 W / e

Hence,                       e*P_s = 11 W

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

La luz pasa del medio A al medio B formando un ángulo de 35° con la frontera horizontal entre ambos. Si el ángulo de refracción
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Índice de refracción entre los dos medios = 1,43

Refractive index between the two media = 1.43

Explanation:

El índice de refracción entre dos medios se explica mejor entendiendo primero la refracción.

Cuando las olas se mueven de un medio a otro, a menudo experimentan un cambio de dirección con respecto al medio en el que viajan.

Por lo tanto, el índice de refracción se expresa como el seno del ángulo de incidencia dividido por el seno del ángulo de refracción.

El seno del ángulo de incidencia y la refracción utilizados en esta fórmula de índice de refracción se miden respectivamente con respecto a la vertical.

En esta pregunta Ángulo de incidencia = 35° a la horizontal = (90° - 35°) a la vertical = 55° a la vertical.

Ángulo de refracción = 35°

Índice de refracción entre los dos medios

= (Sin 55°) ÷ (Sin 35°)

= 0.8192 ÷ 0.5736

= 1.428 = 1.43 a 2 d.p.

¡¡¡Espero que esto ayude!!!

English Translation

The light passes from medium A to medium B at an angle of 35 ° with the horizontal border between the two. If the angle of refraction is also 35 °, what is the relative refractive index between the two media?

Solution

The refractive index between two media is best explained by first understanding refraction.

When waves move from one medium to another, they often experience a change in direction with respect to the medium in which they are travelling.

Hence, refractive index is expressed as the sine of angle of incidence dibided by the sine of angle of refraction.

The sine of angle of incidence and refraction used in this refractive index formula are both respectively measured with respect to the vertical.

In this question,

Angle of incidence = 35° to the horizontal = (90° - 35°) to the vertical = 55° to the vertical.

Angle of refraction = 35°

Refractive index between the two media

= (Sin 55°) ÷ (Sin 35°)

= 0.8192 ÷ 0.5736

= 1.428 = 1.43 to 2 d.p.

Hope this Helps!!!

Human muscles have an efficiency of about __________. A. 9 to 17% B. 18 to 26% C. 27 to 35% D. 36 to 44%
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. 18 to 26%.

The muscle efficiency is calculated by dividing mechanical work output by total metabolic cost.

It is estimated that human muscles have an efficiency of about 18% to 26%.

The efficiency is low because most of the energy is lost when food energy is converted into ATP (adenosine triphophate).

In addition, there is second energy loss when energy in the form of ATP is converted into the mechanical energy such as rowing, cycling et cetera.
