Answer:

According to wavelengths in descending order: C, B, D, E and A

According to frequencies in descending order: A, E, D, B and C

According to speeds in vacuum: A =B =C =D =E

Explanation:

in the EM spectrum, radio waves have the longest wavelength while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.

All EM waves travel with the same speed of $3*10^8m/s$ in a vacuum.

Explain why a diverging lens is used to correct nearsightedness (difficulty seeing objects far away).

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

so that it can diverge the light to make sure that it focused on the ratina and the image is formed.

Explanation:

nearsightedness is when the light is focused in front of the ratina and for an image to be formed in the eye, the light must be focused on the ratina so to correct that we use the diverging lenses so that it will diverge the light and allow the cornea and the lens to converge it so it is focused on the ratina.

What is the difference between alcoholic and Mercury thermometer based on their function?

user100 [1]

Alcohol filled thermometer is used for low temperature applications. (Weather) It’s freezing point is -70 degC
While mercury freezes at -38 deg C

Mercury is/was better for human and other animal temps. High thermal coefficient of expansion mercury vs. alcohol = better resolution for small temperature changes in a medical application.

For higher temperatures alcohol will boil before mercury will.

Two 60.o-g arrows are fired in quick succession with an initial speed of 82.0 m/s. The first arrow makes an initial angle of 24.

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters, b) Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

Explanation:

a) The first arrow is launch in a parabolic way, that is, horizontal speed remains constant and vertical speed changes due to the effects of gravity. On the other hand, the second is launched vertically, which means that velocity is totally influenced by gravity. Let choose the ground as the reference height for each arrow. Each arrow can be modelled as particles and by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

First arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{x,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,2} + K_{x,2} + K_{y,2}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,2}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{x,1}$ , $K_{x,2}$ - Initial and final horizontal translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

Now, the system is expanded and simplified:

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{2} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 2}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2})$

$y_{2}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2}}{g}$

Where:

$y_{1}$ . $y_{2}$ - Initial and final height of the arrow, measured in meters.

$v_{y,1}$ , $v_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical speed of the arrow, measured in meters.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

The initial vertical speed of the arrow is:

$v_{y,1} = v_{1}\cdot \sin \theta$

Where:

$v_{1}$ - Magnitude of the initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$\theta$ - Initial angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the initial vertical speed is:

$v_{y,1} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 24^{\circ}$

$v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{2} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(33.352\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{2} - y_{1} = 56.712\,m$

Second arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,3} + K_{y,3}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,3}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,3}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{3} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 3}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{3}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2})$

$y_{3}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2}}{g}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{3} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{3} - y_{1} = 342.816\,m$

The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters.

b) The total energy of each system is determined hereafter:

First arrow

The total mechanical energy at maximum height is equal to the sum of the potential gravitational energy and horizontal translational kinetic energy. That is to say:

$E = U + K_{x}$

The expression is now expanded:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{x}^{2}$

Where $v_{x}$ is the horizontal speed of the arrow, measured in meters per second.

$v_{x} = v_{1}\cdot \cos \theta$

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the horizontal speed is:

$v_{x} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 24^{\circ}$

$v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $y_{max} = 56.712\,m$ and $v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the total mechanical energy is:

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (56.712\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(74.911\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Second arrow:

The total mechanical energy is equal to the potential gravitational energy. That is:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max}$

$m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $y_{max} = 342.816\,m$

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (342.816\,m)$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.
