<u>Answer:</u> the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates in the direction of the wave. These waves requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates perpendicular to the direction of the wave. These waves does not require a medium to travel. They can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Speed of light wave is constant in the vacuum which is 3\times 10^8m/s but its speed decreases as it enters a medium. And, here the light is entering a solid having certain refractive index, so the speed would decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

) Un círculo de 120 cm de radio gira a 600 rpm. Calcula: a) su velocidad angular
DIA [1.3K]

Responder:

20πrads ^ -1; 24πrads ^ -1; 0,1 seg; 10 Hz

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Radio (r) del círculo = 120 cm

600 revoluciones por minuto en radianes por segundo

(600 / min) * (2π rad / 1 rev) * (1min / 60seg)

(1200πrad / 60sec) = 20π rad ^ -1

Velocidad angular (w) = 20πrads ^ -1

Velocidad lineal = radio (r) * velocidad angular (w)

Velocidad lineal = (120/100) * 20πrad

Velocidad lineal = 1.2 * 20πrads ^ -1 = 24πrads ^ -1

C.) Período (T):

T = 2π / w = 2π / 20π = 0.1 seg

D.) Frecuencia (f):

f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.1

1 / 0,1 = 10 Hz

7. A block of copper of unknown mass has an initial temperature of 65.4oC. The copper is immersed in a beaker containing 95.7g o
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

37.34372 kg

Explanation:

m = Mass

\Delta T = Change in temperature

1 denotes water

2 denotes copper

c = Heat capacity

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T

In this case the heat transfer will be equal

m_1c_1\Delta T_1=m_2c_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{m_1c_1\Delta T_1}{c_2\Delta T_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{95.7\times 4.18(24.2-22.7)}{0.39(65.4-24.2)}\\\Rightarrow m_2=37.34372\ kg

Mass of copper block is 37.34372 kg

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.

Um ônibus percorre a distância de 480 km, entre Santos e Curitiba, com velocidade escalar média de 80 km/h. De Curitiba a Floria
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

10 h

Explanation:

velocidade é a taxa de variação da distância no tempo. é a razão entre a distância e o tempo

de Santos e Curitiba:

distância (d) de 480 km, velocidade (s) de 80 km/h

s=\frac{d}{t}\\ t=\frac{d}{s} =\frac{480}{80}=6h

de Curitiba e Florianópolis:

distância (d) de 300 km, velocidade (s) de 75 km/h

s=\frac{d}{t}\\ t=\frac{d}{s} =\frac{300}{75}=4h

tempo médio de ônibus entre Santos e Florianópolis = 6h + 4h = 10h
