What kind of energy is stored in an electromagnet?

Identify and describe the different forms of precipitation shown in the images.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Sleet and hail, sleet are tiny drops of water that freeze when it rains. Hail forms when a thunderstorm lifts a water droplet above the freezing level.

You are part of a team of scientists and engineers in charge of launching a new spacecraft to venus. What are two ways in which

kap26 [50]

Answer: A barrier should be created to overcome the atmosphere of the Venus, while launching spacecraft to Venus.

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus consists of 96.5% carbon dioxide, other composition includes nitrogen and other gases in trace amounts. The large amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can extinguish the missile of the launcher of spacecraft thus it will become difficult in launch of spacecraft to the Venus.

Which choice best describes what would happen if a cube with a density of 0.2 g/mL were placed in a container of water?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

A. It would float with about 80% of the cube below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Explanation:

The choice that best describes what happens to cube of the given density value is that it would float with about 80% of the cube would be below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The more mass a body has relative to volume, the great it's density. In short, density is directly proportional to mass and inversely related to volume.

The density of water is 1g/mL

If the density of the cube were to be the same with that of water, the substance will just mix up with water .

Here the density is less than that of water.

The density is 0.2g/mL

Therefore, 20% will stay afloat and 80% will be below the surface of the water.

Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur? chlorine cadmium fluorine oxygen

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.

Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.

Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.

The wavelength of a wave can be found by measuring how high the wave is measuring how many waves pass a point in a second measur

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Now that you know something about the properties of the two main types of waves (Lesson 43), we need to make sure that you can look at individual characteristics that waves can have.

Not all waves are created equal!You need to be able to see the specific “faces” that each wave can have, based on three important characteristics: frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.Frequency

When we first started looking at SHM we defined period as the amount of time it takes for one cycle to complete... seconds per cycle

Frequency is the same sort of idea, except we’re just going to flip things around.Frequency is a measurement of how many cycles can happen in a certain amount of time… cycles per second.If a motor is running so that it completes 50 revolutions in one second, I would say that it has a frequency of 50 Hertz.Hertz is the unit of frequency, and just means how many cycles per second.It is abbreviated as Hz.It is named after Heinrich Hertz, one member of the Hertz family that made many important contributions to physics.In formulas frequency appears as an "f".

Since frequency and period are exact inverses of each other, there is a very basic pair of formulas you can use to calculate one if you know the other…

It is very easy to do these calculations on calculators using the x-1 button.

Example 1: The period of a pendulum is 4.5s. Determine the frequency of this pendulum.

The period means that it will take 4.5 seconds for the pendulum to swing back and forth once. So, I expect that my frequency will be a decimal, since it will complete a fraction of a swing per second.Wavelength

Wavelength is a property of a wave that most people (once they know what to look for) can spot quickly and easily, and use it as a way of telling waves apart. Look at the following diagram...

Figure 1Any of the parts of the wave that are pointing up like mountains are called crests. Any part that is sloping down like a valley is a trough.Wavelength is defined as the distance from a particular height on the wave to the next spot on the wave where it is at the same height and going in the same direction.Usually it is measured in metres, just like any length.There isn’t a special spot you have to start on a wave to measure wavelength, just make sure you are back to the same height going in the same direction. Most people do like to measure from one crest to the next crest (or trough to trough), just because they are easy to spot.Figure 2

On a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is measured as the distance between the middles of two compressions, or the middles of two expansions.

Figure 3

This leads us to one of the most important formulas you will use when studying waves.

Frequency tells us how many waves are passing a point per second, the inverse of time.Wavelength tells us the length of those waves in metres, almost like a displacement.If we multiply these two together, we are really multiplying 1/s and m… which gives us m/s, the velocity of the wave!

v = velocity of the wave (m/s)
f = frequency (Hz)
λ = wavelength (m)

Example 2: A wave is measured to have a frequency of 60Hz. If its wavelength is 24cm, determine how fast it is moving.

Example 3: The speed of light is always 3.00e8 m/s. Determine the frequency of red light which has a wavelength of 700nm.

Be careful when changing the 700nm into metres. Some people get really caught up with changing it into regular scientific notation with only one digit before the decimal. Why bother? It's only being used in a calculation. You’ll probably just make a mistake changing the power of 10, so just substitute in the power for the prefix and leave everything else alone…700 nm = 700 x 10-9 m since “nano” is 10-9.

Amplitude

Amplitude is a measure of how big the wave is.

Imagine a wave in the ocean. It could be a little ripple or a giant tsunami.What you are actually seeing are waves with different amplitudes.They might have the exact same frequency and wavelength, but the amplitudes of the waves can be very different.

The amplitude of a wave is measured as:

the height from the equilibrium point to the highest point of a crest orthe depth from the equilibrium point to the lowest point of a troughFigure 4

When you measure the amplitude of a wave, you are really looking at the energy of the wave.

It takes more energy to make a bigger amplitude wave.Anytime you need to remember this, just think of a home stereo’s amplifier… it makes the amplitude of the waves bigger by using more electrical energy.
