Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon. Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

What’s contact force ?

kodGreya [7K]

Explanation:

Contact force is any force that requires contact. An object that exerts a force on another object by touching it is exerting a contact force. Examples of contact force are friction and normal force.

Examples of a non-contact force are gravity and magnetism.

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated

vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.

Explanation:

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

Consider the following three statements: For any electromagnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is a

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Statements (i) and (ii) are true.

Explanation:

Fisrt statement:

Electromagnetic radiation such as wave, wavelength λ and oscillation frequency ν are related by a constant, the speed of light. The equation is given by:

$c= \lambda \nu$

So the first statement is true.

Second statement:

$c=\lambda \nu\\c= 3.0 A \times 1.0\times 10^{18} Hz\\c= 3.0\times 10^{-10} m \times 1.0\times 10^{18} s^{-1}\\c=3\times 10^8 \frac{m}{s}$

The value of c in the vacuum is 3×10⁸ m/s. Hence, the second statement is true.

Third statement:

The speed of any electromagnetic radiation is constant regardless the type of radiation.

Hence, the third statement is false.

La luz roja visible tiene una longitud de onda de 680 nanómetros (6,8 x 10-7 m). La velocidad de la luz es de 3.0 x108 m / s. ¿C

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Frequency, $f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Visible red light has a wavelength of 680 nanometers (6.8 x 10⁻⁷ m). The speed of light is 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m / s. What is the frequency of visible red light?

It is given that,

Wavelength of a visible red light is, $\lambda=6.8\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Speed of light is, $c=3\times 10^8\ m/s$

We need to find the frequency of visible red light. It can be calculated using below relation.

$c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{6.8\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

So, the frequency of visible red light is $4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$ .
