Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

E = h f = $\frac{hc}{wavelength}$

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.

Explain how polarization of a cell increases the cell's internal resistance.<br>(2<br>2.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation: The chemical action that occurs in the cell while the current is flowing causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the surface of the anode. This action is called POLARIZATION. Some hydrogen bubbles rise to the surface of the electrolyte and escape into the air, some remain on the surface of the anode. If enough bubbles remain around the anode, the bubbles form a barrier that increases internal resistance. When the internal resistance of the cell increases, the output current is decreased and the voltage of the cell also decreases.

A cell that is heavily polarized has no useful output. There are several methods to prevent polarization or to depolarize the cell.

One method uses a vent on the cell to permit the hydrogen to escape into the air. A disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen is not available to reform into the electrolyte during recharging. This problem is solved by adding water to the electrolyte, such as in an automobile battery. A second method is to use material that is rich in oxygen, such as manganese dioxide, which supplies free oxygen to combine with the hydrogen and form water.

A third method is to use a material that will absorb the hydrogen, such as calcium. The calcium releases hydrogen during the charging process. All three methods remove enough hydrogen so that the cell is practically free from polarization.

LOCAL ACTION

When the external circuit is removed, the current ceases to flow, and, theoretically, all chemical action within the cell stops. However, commercial zinc contains many impurities, such as iron, carbon, lead, and arsenic. These impurities form many small electrical cells within the zinc electrode in which current flows between the zinc and its impurities. Thus, the chemical action continues even though the cell itself is not connected to a load.

Local action may be prevented by using pure zinc (which is not practical), by coating the zinc with mercury, or by adding a small percentage of mercury to the zinc during the manufacturing process. The treatment of the zinc with mercury is called amalgamating (mixing) the zinc. Since mercury is many times heavier than an equal volume of water, small particles of impurities weighing less than mercury will float to the surface of the mercury. The removal of these impurities from the zinc prevents local action. The mercury is not readily acted upon by the acid. When the cell is delivering current to a load, the mercury continues to act on the impurities in the zinc. This causes the impurities to leave the surface of the zinc electrode and float to the surface of the mercury. This process greatly increases the storage life of the cell.

A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta

adoni [48]

Answer:

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = jumping angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.2 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°

x = 5.4 m

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Have a nice day!
