<span>Our eyes can detect visible radiation, our skin can detect infra-red, our skin can also react to ultra-violet radiation by tanning, and producing skin cancers. 



</span>Our brains can react directly to the impact of gamma rays ( as "seen" by astronauts ) 
<span>and some microwaves will cause us to heat up internally. 
</span>

<span>While radio waves and ELF waves seem to ignore us totally without the aid of aerials and amplifiers. </span>

The oxygen molecule, O2, has a total mass of 5.30×10-26 kg and a rotational inertia of 1.94×10-46 kg-m2 about an axis perpendicu
Nady [450]

Answer:

\omega=2.85*10^{13}\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy depends on the mass and speed of the body, as follows:

K_T=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\K_T=\frac{5.30*10^{-26}kg(1.49*10^3\frac{m}{s})^2}{2}\\\\K_T=1.18*10^{-19}J

While rotational kinetic energy depends on the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the body, as follows:

K_R=\frac{I\omega^2}{2}(1). We know that:

K_R=\frac{2}{3}K_T(2)

Replacing (1) in (2):

\frac{I\omega^2}{2}=\frac{2}{3}K_T\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}\frac{K_T}{I}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}\frac{1.18*10^{-19}J}{1.94*10^{-46}kg\cdot m^2}}\\\omega=2.85*10^{13}\frac{rad}{s}

What are two reasons the period of Venus is shorter than the period of earth
Setler79 [48]

Answer: The planet, named after the Roman goddess of art and beauty, can actually be bright enough to cast shadows on a moonless night. It appears so close to the sun because its orbital radius is smaller than the Earth's, and because it also moves faster than Earth, its orbital period is shorter.
