Laser transmissions travel at a higher speed than the radio waves true or false

1 answer:

6 0

<span>False. Laser transmissions and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. Both travel at approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This is the case because wavelength and frequency are directly proportional to this value. Although laser light has a shorter wavelength than radio waves, it will travel at the same speed because the frequency will be greater.</span>

A container is ﬁlled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water ﬂoats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

= 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

A uniform wooden plank with a mass of 75kg and length of 5m is placed on top of a brick wall so that 1.5m of plank extends beyon

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

Στ = 0

W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

x₂ = $\frac{M_1g }{m_2 g} \ x_1$

let's calculate

x₂ = $\frac{100}{75} \ 1$

x₂ = 1.33 m

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
