Answer:

A,

Explanation:

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the concepts and definitions given for electromagnetic energy, in which

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where,

h = Plank's constant (6.626*10^{-34}J.s)

c = Speed of light (3*10^8m/s)

\lambda =Wavelength

If we analyze these characteristics both h and c are constant so the energy is inversely proportional to the size of the wave.

The larger the amplitude of the wave, the smaller the energy.

On the other hand we have the frequency value defined as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

In this case the frequency is also inversely proportional to the wavelength.

In this case, the amplitude of the largest wave is infrared, so it will have less energy and less frequency. The fact that it has a low frequency by the wavelength, also generates that it has a low energy. But not because it has a large wavelength, on the contrary, because its wavelength is small.

In the case of the ultraviolet wave it will have greater frequency and greater energy. Therefore of all the options, A is the only one valid.

A 10.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. A 12.0 kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 8.00
Basile [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system.

Let the 10.00 kg mass be m_1 and the 12.0 kg mass be m_2. When they collide and stick, they have a combined mass of m_1+m_2.

Momentum is given by p=mv. Set up the following equation:

\displaystyle m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f, where v_f is the desired final velocity of the masses.

Call the right direction positive. To indicate the 12.0 kg object is travelling left, its velocity should be substitute as -8.00 m/s.

Solving yields:

10\cdot 14 + 12\cdot (-8)=(10+12)v_f\\\implies v_f=\boxed{2 \text{ m/s}}

What do you mean by average velocity​
mina [271]

Answer:

Here is the answer. Hope this helps you!

Explanation:

Average velocity is the sum of initial and final velocity divided by 2. I t is the same as total Displacement divided by total time. Average velocity is calculated when the body is in non-uniform motion (also when total displacement and time is not given). The formula is as follows:

u + v/2 = v_{av}

Average velocity = Average speed

during motion in a straight line. therefore, the above mentioned formula can be used for calculating average speed as well, when the direction is one and only the same, that is, during motion in a straight line. The S.I unit remains the same-

m/s.

Since velocity is vector, average VELOCITY is also vector. However, Average SPEED is scalar as speed is scalar. both can be equal only when the distance = displacement and when they are following the same direction of motion.

Harman [31]

If the distance is proportional to the square of the time, then the distance in 9 seconds will be  (9/8)²  as long as the distance in 8 seconds.

(9/8)² = 1.265625

(64 ft) · (1.265625) = <em>81 ft. </em>
