Final displacement =  √(6² + 10² + 8²)

Final displacement = √(36 + 100 + 64)

Final displacement = √200

Final displacement = <em>14.14 km (up and to the northeast of the launch)</em>

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho
Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm

What is the longest wavelength light capable of ionizing a hydrogen atom in the ground state?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m

Explanation:

The energy needed to ionize a hydrogen atom in the ground state is:

E=13.6 eV= 2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J

The energy of the photon is related to the wavelength by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

Solving the formula for the wavelength, we find

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

ω = 4.07 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the energy:

W = ΔK

1.91J = I/2*\omega^2

where I = 2/3*m*R^2=0.23kg.m^2

Solving for ω:

\omega = \sqrt{W*2/I} =4.07rad/s

In an experiment you are performing, your lab partner has measured the distance a cart has traveled: 28.4inch. You need the dist
alexgriva [62]

As per the question the distance travelled by  a car is 28.4 inch.

we are asked to determine the  conversion factor in centimeter  which when multiplied with 28.4 inch will give a unit.

we know that one inch =2.54 centimeter.

Hence 28.4 inch = 2.54  ×28.4 cm

                            =72.136 cm.

Now we have to determine the conversion factor .The multiplication factor is calculated as    P =\frac{28.4 inch*2.54cm}{1 inch}

                         p= 72.136 cm        [p is the multiplication factor.]

Hence the multiplication factor is 72.137 cm which will give unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch.
