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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Based on the Law of Conservation of Energy, which of the below is true?(1 point)

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

why because if something is conserved, it is constant, and does not change with time. A moving body may change its position, acceleration, and velocity with time, but it's energy is constant. The conversation of energy law states that: In any closed system (isolated system) the total energy of the system remain constant.

Mathematically it is written as

$pe + ke = pe + ke$

The half-life of a certain element is 100 days. How many half-lives will it be before only one-eighth of this element remains?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The half-life is the time it takes for the amount of radioactive isotope to halve. Therefore, we have:

- After 1 half-life, only 1/2 of the element will be left

- After 2 half-lives, only 1/4 of the element will be left

- After 3 half-lives, only 1/8 of the element will be left

So, it will take 3 half-lives for the element to become 1/8 of its original amount.

Mathematically, this can be also verified by using the equation

$\frac{N(t)}{N_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{\tau_{1/2}}$

where

N(t) is the amount of the element left at time t

N0 is the initial amount of the element

$\tau_{1/2}$ is the half-life

Substituting $t=3\tau_{1/2}$ (3 half-lives), we find

$\frac{N(t)}{N_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^3=\frac{1}{8}$

Calculate the power required of a 60-kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters high in 10 seconds.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time

-Don't have energy so I'm gonna solve for it

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height

= 60 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 5m

= 2940 J

Power = Energy/time

=2940 J/10 s

= 294 W

34.6 cL= (blank) hL convert

shepuryov [24]

Answer

0.00346 hL

Explanation

cL means Centilitre while hL means Hectolitre.

10,000 cL = 1 hL

∴ 34.6 cL = 34.6/10,000 hL

= 0.00346 hL

A speed-time graph is shown below:

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: $0.5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Average acceleration $a_{ave}$ is the variation of velocity $\Delta V$ over a specified period of time $\Delta t$ :

$a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}$

Where:

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o}$ being $V_{o}=0 cm/s$ the initial velocity and $V_{f}=4 cm/s$ the final velocity (according to the information given from the described graph)

$\Delta t=8 s$

Then:

$a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}$

$a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}$
