Which statement best describes the difference between ultraviolet light and infrared light

1 answer:

6 0

The infrared (IR) and the ultraviolet(UV) represent the two extremities of the visible spectrum (400-700nm). While IR represents electromagnetic radiation
with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, UV represents wavelengths
shorter than visible light.

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist

artcher [175]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W -----------------------(ii)

But;

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

From equation (ii), it implies that;

F = W = m x g

Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;

F = k x e

m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)

From the question;

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

Now solve for e;

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m

An X-Ray tube is an evacuated glass tube, where the electrons are produced at one end and accelerated by a strong electric field

lawyer [7]

Answer:

a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b) ΔV = 25.59 V, c) v = 7 10⁴ m / s, v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,

v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²

Explanation:

a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Where the electrons come out

Em₀ = U = e DV

final point. Where they hit the target

Em_f = K = ½ m v2

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

e ΔV = ½ m v²

ΔV = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²/e (1)

If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is

v = 1% c = c / 100

v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s

let's calculate

ΔV = $\frac{1}{2} \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} (3 10^6 )^2 }{ 1.6 10^{-19} }$

ΔV = 25.59 V

b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons

$K_e = K_p$

K_p = ½ m v_e²

K_p = $\frac{1}{2}$ 9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²

K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J

we substitute in equation 1

ΔV = Kp / M

ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

ΔV = 25.59 V

notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater

c) The speed of the protons is

e ΔV = ½ M v²

v² = 2 e ΔV / M

v² = $\frac{2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 25.59 }{1.67 \ 10^{-27} }$

v² = 49,035 10⁸

v = 7 10⁴ m / s

Relation

v/c = $\frac{7 \ 10^4 }{ 3 \ 10^8}$

v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴

At the end of the Shock Wave roller coaster ride, the 6000-kg train of cars (includes passengers) is allowed from a speed of 20

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

56250 N

Explanation:

mass, m = 6000 kg

initial speed, u = 20 m/s

final speed, v = 5 m/s

distance, s = 20 m

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

5 x 5 = 20 x 20 + 2 a x 20

25 = 400 + 40 a

a = - 9.375 m/s^2

Braking force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 6000 x 9.375

F = 56250 N
