Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Each part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum comprises photons with distinct energy levels, wavelengths, and frequencies. Gamma rays are the most energetic, have the shortest wavelengths, and have the highest frequencies.

A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be com

bixtya [17]

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature $=20^{\circ}C$

Final Temperature $=80^{\circ}C$

mass flow rate of cold fluid $\dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s$

Initial Geothermal water temperature $T_h_i=160^{\circ}C$

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water $\dot{m_h}=2 kg/s$

diameter of inner wall $d_i=1.5 cm$

$U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K$

specific heat of water $c=4.18 kJ/kg-K$

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

$\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)$

$2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)$

$160-T=36$

$T=124^{\circ}C$

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

$\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C$

$LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}$

$LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}$

$LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C$

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

$\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot$ (LMTD)

$A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2$

$A=\pi DL=5.144$

$L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}$

$L=109.16 m$

What is the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 750 microseconds?

Allushta [10]

Use this formula to find your answer...

Determine the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 2us or (micro) and 0.75ms

frequency (f)=1/( Time period).

Frequency of 2 us clock =1/2*10^-6 =10^6/2 =500000Hz =500 kHz.

Frequency of 0..75ms clock =1/0.75*10^-3 =10^3/0.75 =1333.33Hz =1.33kHz.

The diagram below shows a 5.00-kilogram block

bixtya [17]

The name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

The given parameters:

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

The weight of the block acting downwards due to gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

W = 5 x 10

W = 50 N (downwards)

Since the block is at rest, an a force equal to the weight of the block must be acting upwards. This force is known as normal reaction.

Fₙ = 50 N (upwards)

Thus, the name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

Why do astronauts' weights differ in space?

OLga [1]

Answer:

There is less gravitational force in space.

Explanation:

Gravity doesn't exist as it does on Earth. Earth's gravity is as 6 times stronger as it is on the moon.
