Light has been measured as traveling at 3×108 m/s in a vacuum. Which of the following also travels at the speed of light, and wh

y?
A
Ultrasound waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because there is no matter to reduce their speed.

B
Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like light.

C
Electrons in a current carrying wire travel at the speed of light because they have very little mass.

D
Gas particles at the center of an atomic explosion travel at the speed of light because the explosion creates an extreme outward force.

Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like a light has been measured as traveling at 3×10^8 m/s in a vacuum.

Charged particles that are accelerating, like time-varying electric currents, are what produce radio waves. Radio and television signals are transmitted using radio waves, and microwaves used in radar and microwave ovens are also radio waves. Radio waves are emitted by a lot of celestial bodies, including pulsars. High RF exposure levels have the potential to heat biological tissue and raise body temperature. The body's inability to handle or remove the extra heat that could be generated by high RF exposure in humans could result in tissue damage.

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.

Average velocity = distance / time

Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>

A farsighted boy has a near point at 2.3 m and requires eyeglasses to correct his vision. Corrective lenses are available in inc
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P = 3.5 D

Explanation:

As we know that convex lens is to be used to make the near point of eye to be correct

So we will have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we have

d_i = 2.3 m = 230 cm

d_o = 25 cm

now plug in all values into the formula

-\frac{1}{230} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{f}

f = 28 cm

now for power of lens

P = \frac{1}{f}

P = \frac{1}{0.28} = 3.5 D

so the power in dioptre is

P = 3.5 D

A 800-gram grinding wheel 27.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (We can ignore the small hole at the cent
SSSSS [86.1K]

Explanation:

d = Diameter of wheel = 27 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{27}{2}=13.5\ cm

m = Mass of wheel = 800 g

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 245\times \frac{2\pi}{60}\ rad/s

Equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0-245\times \frac{2\pi}{60}}{50}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.51312\ rad/s^2

Moment of inertia is given by

M=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.8\times 0.135^2\\\Rightarrow M=0.00729\ kgm^2

Torque is given by

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.00729\times -0.51312\\\Rightarrow \tau=-0.0037406448\ Nm

The torque the friction exerts is -0.0037406448 Nm
