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

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3. A metal sample has a mass of 52.0 grams and a volume of 17.1 cubic centimeters. Could the

Fudgin [204]

Answer:
__________________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum;
since the density of aluminum, " 2.7 g/cm³ " , is NOT close enough to the density of the sample, " 3.04 g/cm³ " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Density is expressed as "mass per unit volume" ;

in which:
"mass, "m", is expressed in units of "g" (grams); and:
"Volume, "V", is expressed in units of "cm³ " (such as in this problem); or in units of "mL" ;
__________________________________________________
{Note the exact conversion: " 1 cm³ = 1 mL " .}.
__________________________________________________
The formula for density: D = m/V ;

Given: The density of aluminum is: 2.7 g/cm³.

Given: A sample has a mass of 52.0 g ; and Volume of 17.1 cm³ ; could it be aluminum?
_________________________________________________________
Let us divide the mass of the sample by the volume of the sample;
by using the formula:
___________________________________________
D = m / V ;

and see if the value is at, or very close to "2.7 g/cm³ ".

If it is, then it could be aluminum.
____________________________________________________
The density for the sample:

D = (52.0 / 17.1) g/cm³ = 3.0409356725146199 g/cm³ ;
→round to "3 significant figures" ;
= 3.04 g/cm³ .
_______________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum; since the density of aluminum,
"2.7 g/cm³ " is NOT close enough to the density of the sample,
"3.04 g/cm³ " .

There are 152 steps between the ground floor and the sixth floor in a building. Each step is 16.2 cm tall. It takes 3 minutes an

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

14.4kJ

Explanation:

Work = Force x distance

W × h = mgh

Given that,

mass m, = 59.5kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height ,h = 16.2cm

convert to m is 0.162m

How much work = m x g x h

height is 0.162 x 152 steps

h = 24.624m

work = 59.5 x 9.8 x 24.624

= 14,358.25Joule

= 14.4kJ

If a body accelerates from a state of relative rest in a gravity field, where does the energy come from to transfer as kinetic e

Delvig [45]

The energy that transforms into kinetic energy is the Potential Energy. It happens that objects can store energy as a result of its position. Image for example a slingshot. When you stretch the slingshot, it stores energy, this energy would be the energy you used to stretch the slingshot, the material aborbs it and then release to throw the projectile.

Now, on earth and everywhere in the universe where you are close to an object with mass, it exists a force called gravity that attracts you towards that object. Every object that has mass exercises gravitational attration towards the other objects. It just happens that Earth is has so much mass that its gravitational pull is way stronger that the gravitational pull of another object on its surface. This means things will tend to be as close as earth as possible, and in order to move something away from earth, you will have to perform a force in the opposite direction to Earth and, therefore, consume energy. This energy will be store as potential energy, and when you drop the object, the potential energy will be the energy that will transform to kinetic energy.

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

substitute the parameters in the equation;

600 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x m x 15²

225m = 1200

m = $\frac{1200}{225}$ = 5.33kg

Please help. I don’t understand this

skad [1K]

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

v (ave) = ∆x / ∆t

and under constant acceleration,

v (ave) = (v (final) + v (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆t = 4.0 s, we have v (initial) = 0 and v (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆x / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆x = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆x = 20.00 m
