<span>I believe this happens because when you rub the balloon on the carpet or fabric, the connection or contact of that jumbles up the atoms and they receive the energy which makes your hair as the question said 'stand on end' </span>

A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

Which of the following describes the principle of conservation of charge?
grigory [225]

Answer: The statement "The charge cannot be created or destroyed describes the principle of the conservation of charge".

Explanation:

According to the conservation of charge, the charge can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one system to another.

In an isolated system, the total electric charge remains constant. The net quantity of electric  charge is always conserved in the universe.

Therefore, "the charge cannot be created or destroyed" describes the principle of the conservation of charge.

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1.0 % of the speed of light when they h
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .
