Answer:

Electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, that oscillate perpendicularly to each other and perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave (for such a reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves always travel in a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

and they are classified into 7 different types, according to their frequency. From lowest to highest frequency, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Therefore, gamma rays, x-rays, visible light and radio waves are all types of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies.

devlian [24]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 63.83 kg

(b) 0.725 m/s

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attachment of the full question is attached.

The given values are:

T = 3 sec

k = 280 N/m

(a)

The mass of the string will be:

⇒ $T=2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

or,

⇒ $m=\frac{k T^2}{4 \pi^2}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{280\times (3)^2}{4 \pi^2}$

⇒ $=\frac{280\times 9}{4\times (3.14)^2}$

⇒ $=68.83 \ kg$

(b)

The speed of the string will be:

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}k(0.4)^2=\frac{1}{2}k(0.2)^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

then,

⇒ $v=\sqrt{\frac{k((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{m} }$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\sqrt{\frac{280\times ((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{63.83} }$

⇒ $=\sqrt{\frac{280(0.16-0.04)}{63.83} }$

⇒ $=\sqrt{\frac{280\times 0.12}{63.83} }$

⇒ $=0.725 \ m/s$

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more

galina1969 [7]

The complete statement is

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another.

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

$E = Pt$

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)
