Answer:
Explanation:
Given data
Mass m=67.0 kg
Final Speed vf=8.00 m/s
Initial Speed vi=2.00 m/s
Distance d=25.0 m
Force F=30.0 N
From work-energy theorem we know that the work done equals the change in kinetic energy
W=ΔK=Kf-Ki=1/2mvf²-1/2mvi²
And
So
and we know that the force the sprinter exerted Fsprinter the force of the headwind Fwind=30.0N
So
Answer:
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Now we can analyze the 4 statements:
X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.
X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
