The family of electromagnetic waves ranges from the Long Radio waves to the gama rays.

All of that contain electromagnetic energy and move at the speed of light.

But what distinguish one from another is their wavelengh.

Or, if you like, its counterpart: their frequency. (as can be seen in the equation c = λ . f where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelengh and f is the frequency).

The shorter the wavelengh (the greater the frequency) more powerful (more energy it contains) is the electromagnetic wave.

From all the different kinds of electromagnetic waves of the spectrum, the less powerful (less energetic) are the Long Radio waves (λ in metres) and the more powerful ones are the gama rays (λ in $10^{-12}$ m).

A ball is thrown toward a cliff of height h with a speed of 33 m/s and an angle of 60∘ above horizontal. It lands on the edge of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

(a). The height of the cliff is 41.67 m.

(b). The maximum height of the ball is 41.67 m

(c). The ball's impact speed is 16.52 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 33 m/s

Angle = 60°

Time = 3.0 sec

(a). We need to calculate the height of the cliff

Using equation of motion

$h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=(u\sin60)\times t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$h=33\times\sin60\times3.0-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(3.0)^2$

$h=41.6\ m$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using formula of height

$h_{max}=\dfrac{(u\sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

Put the value into the formula

$h=\dfrac{(33\sin60)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=41.67\ m$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical component of velocity of ball

Using equation of motion

$v=u-gt$

$v=u\sin\theta-gt$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=33\times\sin 60-9.8\times3.0$

$v_{y}=-0.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the horizontal component of velocity of ball

Using formula of velocity

$v_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=33\times\cos60$

$v_{x}=16.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the ball's impact speed

Using formula of velocity

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{(16.5)^2+(-0.82)^2}$

$v=16.52\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The height of the cliff is 41.67 m.

(b). The maximum height of the ball is 41.67 m

(c). The ball's impact speed is 16.52 m/s.

You are standing 2.5m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers. They are 3.0m apart and both are playing a 686Hz tone in

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

distance from speaker is 17.87 m

Explanation:

given data

distance from loudspeaker = 2.5 m

distance between loudspeaker = 3.0 m

room temperature = 20c

wavelength f = 686Hz

to find out

what distances from the speaker

solution

we know sound velocity c = 331.5 + 0.6 × 20c = 343.5

so wavelength of sound λ = c / f

wavelength = 343.5 / 686 = 0.5 m

when the difference in distance of speaker destructive interference will be

d = λ/2 × (2n-1)

for n = 1, 2 3 4 ..

d = 0.5/2 × (2n-1)

d = 0.250 , 0.75 , 1.25 , 1.750............ for n = 1, 2 3 .............

for d = 0.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x1)$ = 0.250

0.5 x1 = 7.6875

x1 = 15.375 m

for d = 0.75

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x2)$ = 0.75

1.5 x2 = 4.6875

x2 = 3.125 m

for d = 1.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

$\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x3)$ = 1.250

2.5 x2 = 1.1875

x3 = 0.475 m

for d = 1.750

x4 will be negative so we stop here

so the distance from speaker here is given below

distance = 2.5 + x

here x = 0.475 , 3.125 and 15.375 so

distance 1 = 2.5 + 0.475 = 2.975 m

distance 2 = 2.5 + 3.125 = 5.625 m

distance 3 = 2.5 + 15.375 = 17.875 m

final distance from speaker is 17.87 m

A new ski area has opened that emphasizes the extreme nature of the skiing possible on its slopes. Suppose an ad intones "Free-f

Allushta [10]

Answer:

48.6°

Explanation:

The forward force, F equals the component of the weight along the slope.

So mgsinθ = ma where a = acceleration and θ = angle between the slope and the horizontal.

So a = gsinθ

Since we are given that a = 75%g = 0.75g,

0.75g = gsinθ

sinθ = 0.75

θ = sin⁻¹(0.75)

= 48.6°
