Dawn and Aram have stretched a slinky between them and begin experimenting with waves. As the frequency of the waves is doubled

the wavelength is______.

Answer:

halved

Explanation:

The velocity of the a wave is obtained by multiplying the frequency and wavelength.

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

Where

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

The velocity here is constant. So, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength is halved.

Shutting the fluid discharge of an air-operated reciprocating pump will cause the pump to ?

Misha Larkins [42]

Had to look for the options and here is my answer. What happens when the fluid discharge of an air-operated reciprocating pump is shut, this will cause the pump to OVERSTROKE. Overstroke happens when the engine is switching in a normally-closed manner.

A woman makes 50% more than her husband. Together they make $2500 each month? How much does the woman earn each month?a) $950b)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

Woman earn 50% more than her husband

Total sum of their money is $=\$ 2500$

Suppose man earns $\$ P$

so women earns $P+0.5 P=P(1+0.5)=1.5 P$

Sum of their money is

$P+1.5 P=2500$

$P=\$ 1000$

Women earns $=1.5\times 1000=\$ 1500$

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

Zanzabum

(a) $3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa$

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

$p=\frac{I}{c}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

$I=1000 W/m^2$

and substituting $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we find the radiation pressure

$p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa$

(b) $4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

$A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2$

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

$F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N$

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

$m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

If a 5.0 kg box is pulled simultaneously by a 10.0 N force and a 5.0 N force, then its acceleration must be?

kicyunya [14]

For this case we have that by definition:

$F = ma$

Where,

<em>m: mass of the object </em>
<em>a: acceleration of the object </em>
<em>F: summation of forces </em>

We have then:

$F = 10 + 5\\F = 15 N$

Then, by clearing the acceleration we have:

$a = \frac {F} {m}$

Substituting values we have:

$a = \frac {15} {5}\\a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is equal to:

$a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$
