A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ) in a vacuum, and they are transverse in nature (the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation).

Electromagnetic waves are classified into different types according to their wavelength and frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Therefore, we can no says that:

X-rays: has a higher frequency than Radio waves

Radio waves: have a longer wavelength than x-rays

Both: they travel at the same speed

Therefore, the correct pairing is:

A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away?

Ugo [173]

Yes, C is correct. It self explains itself as we know light travels through a vacuum ( doesn't need a medium) and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).

Two friends whisper at a volume of 20 decibels. Later, they converse at a volume of 40 decibels.

Yuki888 [10]

40 dB is 20 dB more power than 20 dB is. 20 dB more means 100 times as much.

If the white car experiences a change in momentum equal to 105,000 kg*m/s and is in contact with the red car for 5 seconds befor

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

21000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Change in momentum = 105000 kg.m/s

Time = 5s

Force =?

Force is related to momentum and time according to the following formula:

Force = Change in momentum / time

With the above formula, we can calculate the force the white car experience during the collision. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Change in momentum = 105000 kg.m/s

Time = 5s

Force =?

Force = Change in momentum / time

Force = 105000 / 5

Force = 21000 N

Thus, the white car experience a force of 21000 N during the collision.

What is the quantity of heat energy required to convert 10g cube of ice at -30oC to steam at 120oC. also draw a graph of tempera

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The amount of energy required is 31.1692 kJ .

Explanation:

The transitions of water are as follows,

(243K ice to 273K ice to 273K water to 373k water to 373K steam to 393K steam)

The following required data is,

specific heat capacity of ice= 2.1 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of water= 4.2 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of ice= 1.996 kJ/kg

specific latent heat of fusion=334 kJ/kg

specific latent heat of vapourisation = 2260 kJ/kg

FORMULAS:-

temperature change=mc(T2-T1)

phase transistion = mL,

where, m=mass , c=specific heat capacity ,L = latent heat of fusion or vapourisation ,(T2-T1)= temparature change

Thus the total amount of heat is,

=mc(T4-T3) + mL + mc(T3-T2) + mL + mc(T2-T1)

= $10(10^{-3} )(2.1)(30)+10(10^{-3} )(334)+10(10^{-3} )(100)(4.2)+10(10^{-3} )(2260) +10(10^{-3} )(20)(1.996)$

=(0.3)(2.1) + (3.34) + (4.2) + (22.6) + (0.2)(1.996)

=31.1692 kJ.
