Gamma-ray bursters are objects in the universe that emit pulses of gamma rays with high energies. The frequency of the most ener

getic bursts has been measured at around 3.0 × 1021 Hz. The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of these gamma rays? Answer in units of m

Wavelength and frequency are related and they are indirectly related The higher the frequency of a light, the shorter the wavelength would be. The constant of proportionality of this relation is the speed of light. We calculate as follows:
wavelength = speed of light / frequency
wavelength = 3x10^8 / 3.0x10^21
wavelength = 1x10^-13 m

Which sentence below describes a contact force? A) A baseball bat hits a ball B) A book falls to the floor C) A leaf floats in t
tester [92]

A baseball bat hits a ball is an example of contact force.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Contact force is defined as those forces which are acting between two bodies by actually touch between two bodies.

In case of the book falling to ground, the force acting is the gravitational force. Gravitational force acts even when two bodies aren't in contact. So its a non contact force.

Similar is the condition of the leaf and ground where the gravitational force acts.

The magnetic force between the paper clip and the magnet is also non contact force, which acts even when two bodies aren't in contact.

But the bat hitting the ball is having direct contact between the two bodies, and their contact is what makes the ball fly off. So its a contact force.

Two equal-magnitude forces are applied to a door at the doorknob. The first force is applied perpendicular to the door, and the
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

in first case the torque is maximum.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

τ = F x d x Sinθ

In case A: the angle between force vector and the distance vector is 90 so torque is

τ = F x d

In case B: the angle between force vector and the distance is 30°.

τ = F x d x Sin30

τ = 0.5 Fd

So the torque is maximum in first case.

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area a = 2.1 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.8 w/m2 from a camera s
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity I = 8.8 \frac{W}{m^{2} }

Area of piece A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

   P = \frac{I}{c}

Where P = radiation pressure, c = speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

 c = 3 \times 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

Put all values in above equation,

  P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }

  P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa
