Answer:

3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²

Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)

therefore,

the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²

Now,

force exerted on the card by the radiation, F = \frac{IA}{C}

here,

C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

F = \frac{150\times0.075}{3\times10^8}

or

F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Compare a change in temperature of 1°C to a change of 1°F.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A change of one degree Celsius = a change of one Kelvin, but a Celsius temperature is never equal to a Kelvin temperature. A change of 1 degree Fahrenheit equals a change of 5/9 = 0.56 degrees Celsius. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.

Note: The rope is 20 m long. Answer like this: (1.<br> 2._____ etc)
qaws [65]

Answer:

1. <u>Potential energy</u>, 2. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 3. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 4. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 5. <u>Potential energy</u>

Explanation:

We note that the total mechanical energy (M.E.) of the body is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

Where;

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the body = (1/2)·m·v²

P.E. = The potential energy of the body = m·g·h

m = The mass of the person

v = The velocity with which the person is in motion

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the person above the ground

The length of the rope = 20 m

The initial height at location 1, h₁ = 40.0 m

At location 1, the velocity, v₁ = 0.00 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₁ + P.E.₁

∴  K.E.₁ = 0 and P.E.₁ = m ×9.81×40

M.E. = (1/2) ×m ×0² + m ×9.81×40

∴ M.E. = 0 + P.E.₁ the type of energy present at location 1 is only potential energy

At location 2, the velocity, v₂ = 10.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₂ + P.E.₂ = (1/2) ×m ×10² + m ×9.81×40

∴  K.E.₂ = 50·m and P.E.₂ = m ×9.81×35 = 343.35·m

M.E. = 50·m + 343.35·m the type of energy at location 2 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 3, the velocity, v₃ = 20.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₃ + P.E.₃ = (1/2) ×m ×20² + m ×9.81×20

∴  K.E.₃ = 200·m and P.E.₃ = m ×9.81×20 = 196.2·m

M.E. = 200·m + 196.2·m the type of energy at location 3 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 4, the velocity, v₄² = 350.0 m²/s², h₄ = 15.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₄ + P.E.₄ = (1/2) × m ×350 + m ×9.81×15

∴  K.E.₄ = 175·m and P.E.₄ = m×9.81×15 = 147.15·m

M.E. = 175·m + 147.15·m the type of energy at location 4 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 5, the velocity, v₅ = 0 m/s, h₅ = 10.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₅ + P.E.₅ = (1/2) × m × 0 + m ×9.81×10

∴  K.E.₅ = 0·m and P.E.₅ = m×98.1 = 98.1·m

M.E. = 0·m + 98.1·m the type of energy at location 5 is only potential energy, P.E.

Therefore, we have;

\left|\begin{array}{ccc}Location&&Type(s) \ of \ Energy \ Presents\\1&&Potential \ Energy\\2&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\3&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\4&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\5&&Potential  \  Energy\end{array} \right |

Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates which of the following?
alukav5142 [94]
I am pretty sure that electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates B. magnetic field. I consider this option to be correct because according to lenz's law <span>conductor  moves through loop and to be more exact in this case through a magnetic field. I hope it help!</span>

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?​
inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.
