The width of the physical spectrum is shorter than that of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is the light that can be seen with the human eye, which we see as the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet or ROY G. BIV. However, there are more wavelengths that can be seen beyond that, which are apart of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, the UV rays, microwaves, and Gamma Rays cannot be seen by the human eye. Therefore, the electromagnetic spectrum is longer than the visible spectrum because there is so much more that humans can not see. The visible spectrum is only 400-750nm. The electromagnetic spectrum is 10 to the -14 to 10 to the 4 meters.

Which parameter of a projectile depends on the horizontal as well as the vertical component of velocity of projection?

jekas [21]

Just about anything you could ask about a projectile AFTER it's launched
depends on both components of the launch velocity.

Here are some that I can think of:

-- angle of launch
-- magnitude of launch velocity
-- location at any time after launch
-- magnitude of velocity at any time after launch
-- direction of velocity at any time after launch
-- distance of the landing point from the launch point

A 65-kg bungee jumper, who is attached to one end of an 85-m long bungee cord that has its other end tied to a bridge, jumps off

irinina [24]

Answer:

The impulse delivered to the bungee jumper is 1.32 kN.s

Explanation:

The situation can be shown graphically as shown in the figure.

Impulse delivered to the bungee jumper = Area under the curve.

The curve represents a triangle and the area of traiangle = (1/2)base×height

The base of the triangle from the graph = 1.2 seconds.
