X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. (A) True (B) False

Physics
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.
