Explanation:

The wavelength of the ultraviolet rays lies in between 10 nm to 400 nm. UV rays can cause the following problems on human :

(1) It can increase the risk of skin cancer.

(2) It can cause cataract.

(3) It can cause painful sunburn.

(4) It can cause wrinkling and age on the skin.

So, it is advisable to use sunscreen before leaving home and use goggles. This is the cure for ultraviolet radiation.

Why is the sky blue?

Taya2010 [7]

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x .........1

so force = mg = 0.35 (9.8) = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }$

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

hammer [34]

Answer:

$a_M=1.92a_A$

Explanation:

$\omega_M=\omega_A$ = Angular speed

$r_M$ = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

$r_A$ = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

$\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A$

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

A small glass bead has been charged to +20 nC. A small metal ball bearing 1.0 cm above the bead feels a 0.018 N downward electri

Alla [95]

Answer:

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Explanation:

Let the charge on the ball bearing is q.

charge on glass bead, Q = 20 nC = 20 x 10^-9 C

Force between them, F = 0.018 N

Distance between them, d = 1 cm = 0.01 m

By use of Coulomb's law in electrostatics

$F=\frac{KQq}{d^{2}}$

By substituting the values

$0.018=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times20\times10^{-9}q}{0.01^{2}}$

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Thus, the charge on the ball bearing is $q=1\times10^{-8}C$

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...
