Felipe was enjoying the sunny day at the beach. He told his friend Carl that he was really enjoying the warm feeling that he was getting as he sat in the Sun. Carl explained that the electromagnetic radiation was responsible for this warm feeling. The electromagnetic spectrum which was responsible for making Felipe feel warm is

<u>Infrared rays</u>

Explanation:

Infrared radiation (IR), or infrared light, is a type of radiant energy that's invisible to human eyes but that we can feel as heat.
All objects in the universe emit some level of IR radiation, but two of the most obvious sources are the sun and fire.
Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light. Too much exposure can damage your eyes and skin. On a global scale, trapped infrared radiation contributes to global warming.
Most warm objects in our everyday experiences emit infrared, and half of the energy produced by the Sun is also infrared.
The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation. This is the radiation produced by the motion of atoms and molecules in an object.

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.

Mama L [17]

Answer: $f_{r}$ = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

$W_{x}$ = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

$W_{y}$ = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

$f_{r}$ = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS$

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

$2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}$

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - $f_{r}$ = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - $f_{r}$ = 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 17.9633 - 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 16.49N

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2

While on a sailboat at anchor, you notice that 15 waves pass its bow every minute. The waves have a speed of 6.0 m/s . Part A Wh

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)
