If an object is in motion it will stay in motion

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion. This includes changes to the object's speed, direction, or state of rest.

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. If the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x
Alexandra [31]

λ = 2 m.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using the equation of frecuency of a wave f = v/λ, where v is the velocity of the wave, and λ is the wavelength.

To calculate the wavelength of a microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 10⁸ m/s. If the frecuency of the light wave is 1.1 x 10⁸ Hz, we have to clear λ from the equation f = v/λ:

f = v/λ -------> λ = v/f

λ = 2.2 x 10⁸ m/s / 1.1 x 10⁸ Hz

λ = 2 m (wavelength of the microwave)

How many degrees equal π in radians? How many revolutions (turns) equal π radians? ​
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

It follows that the magnitude in radians of one complete revolution (360 degrees) is the length of the entire circumference divided by the radius, or 2πr / r, or 2π. Thus 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that one radian is equal to 180/π ≈ 57.295779513082320876 degrees.

Suppose a baseball pitcher throws the ball to his catcher.
amm1812

a) Same

b) Same

c) Same

d) Throw the ball takes longer

e) F is larger when the ball is catched

Explanation:

a)

The change in speed of an object is given by:

\Delta v = |v-u|

where

u is the initial velocity of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

The change in speed is basically the magnitude of the change in velocity (because velocity is a vector, while speed is a scalar, so it has no direction).

In this problem:

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the initial velocity is

u = 0 (because the ball starts from rest)

while the final velocity is v, so the change in speed is

\Delta v=|v-0|=|v|

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the initial velocity is now

u = v

while the final velocity is now zero (ball coming to rest), so the change in speed is

\Delta v =|0-v|=|-v|

Which means that the two situations have same change in speed.

b)

The change in momentum of an object is given by

\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m is the mass of the object

\Delta v is the change in velocity

If we want to compare only the magnitude of the change in momentum of the object, then it is given by

|\Delta p|=m|\Delta v|

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the change in momentum is

\Delta p = m|\Delta v|=m|v|=mv

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the change in momentum is

\Delta p = m\Delta v = m|-v|=mv

So, the magnitude of the change in momentum is the same (but the direction is opposite)

c)

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

I=\Delta p

where

I is the impulse

\Delta p is the change in momentum

As we saw in part b), the change in momentum of the ball in the two situations is the same, therefore the impulse exerted on the ball will also be the same, in magnitude.

However, the direction will be opposite, as the change in momentum has opposite direction in the two situations.

d)

To compare the time of impact in the two situations, we have to look closer into them.

- When the ball is thrown, the hand "moves together" with the ball, from back to ahead in order to give it the necessary push. We can verify therefore that the time is longer in this case.

- When the ball is cacthed, the hand remains more or less "at rest", it  doesn't move much, so the collision lasts much less than the previous situation.

Therefore, we can say that the time of impact is longer when the ball is thrown, compared to when it is catched.

e)

The impulse exerted on an object can also be rewritten as the product between the force applied on the object and the time of impact:

I=F\Delta t

where

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

\Delta t is the time of impact

This can be rewritten as

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}

In this problem, in the two situations,

- I (the impulse) is the same in both situations

- \Delta t when the ball is thrown is larger than when it is catched

Therefore, since F is inversely proportional to \Delta t, this means that the force is larger when the ball is catched.

Strong evidence for the existence of dark matter comes from observations of
adoni [48]

Answer:

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes such as the Hubble telescope.

Explanation:

Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies.

The above observations have provided the strongest evidence yet that most of the matter in the universe is dark.
