Answer:

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are usually defined as a type of electromagnetic radiations, that are characterized by the presence of shorter wavelength and higher energy. These are the common radiations that are released from the radioactive substances, where an unstable nucleus of an atom releases an excess amount of energy by undergoing continuous electromagnetic processes.

These are harmful to humans and other organisms, as they are comprised of very high energy and they can easily penetrate through the bodies of humans and other organisms.

These gamma particles are emitted in the power plants, where the people working in it wear a special type of device that helps them in monitoring the exposure to radiation.

For a particular pipe in a pipe-organ, it has been determined that the frequencies 296 Hz and 370 Hz are two adjacent natural fr
user100 [1]

Answer:

fundamental frequency of pipe will be equal to 74 Hz

Explanation:

We have given for a particular organ pipe two adjacent frequency are 296 Hz and 370 Hz

Speed of the sound in air is 343 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency for the pipe

Fundamental frequency will be equal to difference of the two adjacent frequency

So fundamental frequency = 370 - 296 = 74 Hz

So fundamental frequency of pipe will be equal to 74 Hz

Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 24 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The sum of all forces for the two objects with force of friction F and tension T are:

(i) m₁a₁ = F

(ii) m₂a₂ = T - F

1) no sliding infers: a₁ = a₂= a

The two equations become:

m₂a = T - m₁a

Solving for a:

a = T / (m₁+m₂) = 2.1 m/s²

2) Using equation(i):

F = m₁a = 51.1 N

3) The maximum friction is given by:

F = μsm₁g

Using equation(i) to find a₁ = a₂ = a:

a₁ = μs*g

Using equation(ii)

T = m₁μsg + m₂μsg = (m₁ + m₂)μsg = 851.6 N

4) The kinetic friction is given by: F = μkm₁g

Using equation (i) and the kinetic friction:

a₁ = μkg = 6.1 m/s²

5) Using equation(ii) and the kinetic friction:

m₂a₂ = T - μkm₁g

a₂ = (T - μkm₁g)/m₂ = 12.1 m/s²
