Answer:

C. All waves have the same speed.

Explanation:

Wave equation is given as;

V = fλ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

The speed of the wave depends on both wavelength and frequency

The speed of the electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s, this also the speed of light which is constant for all electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, the correct option is "C"

C. All waves have the same speed.

A(n) 30 kg boy rides a roller coaster. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what force does he press against the seat

forsale [732]

Answer:

Force, F = 187.42 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of boy, m = 30 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, $a=9.8\ m/s^2$

Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m

Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s

The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :

$F=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=m(g-\dfrac{v^2}{r})$

$F=30\times (9.8-\dfrac{(7.3)^2}{15})$

F = 187.42 N

So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m=7.349(10)^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.9(10)^{8} m$ is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to $F$ :

$F=m.a_{C}$ (2)

Where $a_{C}$ is the centripetal acceleration given by:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Being $V$ the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

$m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (4)

Simplifying:

$a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (5)

Making (5)=(3):

$\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (6)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ (7)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}}$ (8)

Finally:

$V=1010.92 m/s$

Under what condition will a glass lens placed in a transparent medium becomes invisible??

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A lens placed in a transparent liquid becomes invisible because when refractive index of the material of the lens is equal to the refractive index of the liquid in which lens is placed under this condition no bending of light takes place when it travels from liquid to the lens, so both will start behaving like both are same things.

Explanation:

hope it helps :))
