Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum classifies all the electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength/frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All of these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the "visible light" part of the spectrum. Waves in the visible light part are perceived by human as different colors, depending on their wavelength. More specifically, they appear as follows:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that the longest electromagnetic wave in the visible light part of the spectrum corresponds to red light.

In building a particle accelerator, you manage to produce a uniform electric field of magnitude 6.03 × 10 5 N/C in one 35.5 cm s

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

V = 2.14×10⁵ V.

W = 3.424×10⁻¹⁴ J.

Explanation:

Electric Potential: This can be defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point, against the action of a field.

The S.I unit is V.

The expression containing electric potential, distance and electric field is given as,

V = E×r .............. Equation 1

Where V = Electric potential difference across the length of the accelerator's section, E = Electric Field, r = Length of the section.

Given: E = 6.03×10⁵ N/C, r = 35.5 cm = 0.355 m.

Substitute into equation 1

V = 6.03×10⁵×0.355

V = 2.14065×10⁵ V.

V ≈ 2.14×10⁵ V.

amount of Work required to move a proton through the section is given as,

W = qV ............... Equation 2

Where W = work required to move a proton through the section, q = charge on a proton V = Electric potential.

Given: V = 2.14×10⁵ V, q = 1.60 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Substitute into equation 2

W = (2.14×10⁵)(1.60 x 10⁻¹⁹)

W = 3.424×10⁻¹⁴ J.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to

german

Answer: v= 1.23 m/s θ = 75.3º

Explanation:

First of all, we define the direction in which both fruits are tossed as the x axis, so all initial momenta have horizontal components only.

Now, if no external forces act during collision (due to the infinitesimal time during which collision takes place) momentum must be conserved.

As momentum is a vector, both components must be conserved, so we can write the following equations:

p₁ₓ = p₂ₓ ⇒ -m₁ . vi₁ +m₂. vi₂ = m₁ . vf₁ . cos θ (1)

p₁y = p₂y ⇒ 0 =m₂ . vf₂ - m₁. vf₁. sin θ (2)

Replacing by the values of m1, m₂, vi₁, vi₂, and vf₂, we can calculate the value of the angle θ, that the apple forms with the horizontal, as follows:

(1) -0.13 Kg. 1.05 m/s + 0.15 Kg. 1.18 m/s = 0.13. vf . cos θ

(2) 0.15 Kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf. sin θ

sin θ / cos θ = 3.82 ⇒ tg θ = 3.82 ⇒ θ = arc tg (3.82) = 75.3º

Replacing this value of θ in (2), we get:

0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf . sin 75.3º = 0.13 . vf . 0.967

Solving for vf, we get:

vf = 0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s / 0.13. 0.967 = 1.23 m/s

Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one sid

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Energy transforms from Potential energy to (Kinetic Energy+heat+air drag) to potential energy. The bob comes to rest as it loses its energy due to the influence of the factors from the surroundings. The bob's energy is lost eventually and no, this happening is not a violation of the law of energy conservation.

Explanation:

For the illustration please refer to the figure attached herewith.
The bob is given some energy in the form of potential energy at the beginning and after it is released it swings back and forth interchanging energy between the potential to kinetic and keeping the total of its energy constant.
Only in the ideal conditions (no friction loss at the pivotal point, no air drag) the conditions described just above happen to exist. Else, where all the resistances are available: in the practical scenario, some energy gets dissipated to the environment via these factors making the total energy no longer a constant.
As a result of this, both its potential and kinetic energy also get reduced illustrating a gradual reduction of the height the bob would rise and the speed it would swing with.
The energy distribution, in this case, happens to be like this: Bob's total energy - lost energy = potential energy + kinetic energy.
This lost energy is not a miracle it is nature that some energy is transformed into some other form hence this happening is not a violation of the law of energy conservation.
In that case, energy is conserved between the bob and the environment.

When can we be certain that the average velocity of an object is always equal to its instantaneous velocity?

balandron [24]

Answer:

Average velocity is said to be equal to the instantaneous velocity when acceleration is zero. When acceleration of an object is equal to zero, there can be no change in speed or direction.
