It's B. The higher the frequency the more the energy.

Answer:

B) UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy.

Explanation:

The light that we see around us is called visible light which is just 7% of the complete electromagnetic wave spectrum. This EM spectrum has other waves as well such as gamma, UV, IR, Radio etc. These waves are classified according to their wavelengths and frequency.

Gamma rays have the highest frequency and thus are most energetic while radio waves smallest frequency and least energy.

The UV waves coming from the Sun have higher frequency than visible light and thus are more energetic. This is the reason that UV waves can cause skin cancer. The ozone layer in the atmosphere absorbs the UV waves. The increased level of pollution is affecting this layer and thus increasing the exposure to UV waves and hence risk of skin cancer.

What do electric power companies deliver to customers
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Power plants generate electricity that is delivered to customers through transmission and distribution power lines. High-voltage transmission lines, such as those that hang between tall metal towers, carry electricity over long distances to meet customer needs.

A 0.0434-m3 container is initially evacuated. Then, 4.19 g of water is placed in the container, and, after some time, all of the
adell [148]

Answer:

P =18760.5 Pa

Explanation:

Given that

Volume ,V= 0.0434 m³

Mass ,m= 4.19 g = 0.00419 kg

T= 417 K

If we assume that water vapor is behaving like a ideal gas ,then we can use ideal gas equation

Ideal gas equation    P V = m R T

p=Pressure ,V = Volume ,m =mass

T=Temperature ,R=Universal gas constant

Now by putting the values

P V = m R T

For water R= 0.466 KJ/kgK

P x 0.0434 = 0.00419 x 0.466 x 417

P =18.7605 KPa

P =18760.5 Pa

Therefore the answer is 18760.5 Pa

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(y)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}  

Explanation:

Given data

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

so

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to \pi /2 for θ

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} y²p dA

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x)  = k ({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0 ×  {θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0

I(x)  = k × ({6}^{6}/6) × (  {\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)

I(x)  = k ×  ({6}^{5}) ×   {\pi /4}

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}    .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y)   by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be  I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}   ......................2

Can you please help me with these physics displacement questions? If you can only do one, that is okay
Brut [27]

#3).  Your drawing in the lower right corner is correct.  You're headed down the right road, but ran out of gas and just stopped.

Radius of the circle = 1.5 km

Circumference of the whole circle = (2·π·radius) = 9.42 km

Distance = 3/4 of the way around it = 7.07 km .

Displacement = the straight line from the West point to the North point.  The straight-line length is 2.12 km; the straight-line direction from start to finish is Northeast (45°).  I'll let you figure out why these numbers.

#4).  What if you walk 1 mile East and then 1 mile West ?  You got a good workout, and you're back home where you started !  Your distance is 2 miles, and your displacement is zero.

The whale had a good workout too.  She swam (6.9 + 1.8 + 3.7) = 12.4 km.  She's sweating and tired.  Her total distance during that workout is 12.4 km.  

Her displacement is the line from start-point to end-point.  How she got there doesn't matter, so swimming 1 km East and then swimming 1 km West cancel out, and have no effect on the displacement.

(6.9E + 1.8W + 3.7E)  =  (10.6 E) + (1.8 W) . . . That adds up to  8.8 East !  That's where she ends up.  That's her displacement ... 8.8 km East of where she started.  Since we're only talking about displacement, we don't care HOW she got there.  She might have been swimming big 20-km circles all day.  We don't know.  All we know is that she ended up 8.8 km East of where she started.
