Answer:
The force exerted by the ball on the bat has a magnitude of 100 N and its direction is exactly opposite to that of the force exerted by the bat on the ball.
Explanation:
Recall that Newton's third law tells us that : "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Therefore if the bat acts on the ball with a force of 100 N, the ball acts on the bat with a similar magnitude of force (100 N) but direction opposite to the original force.
Answer:
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Now we can analyze the 4 statements:
X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.
X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
