Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).

A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 to 10.00 L. During this
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

a.

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>

<u></u>

b.

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

<u>W = 810.6 J</u>

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

a mars prototype carrying scientific instruments has a mass of 1060kg. a net force of 52000 n is applied to this roverat a test
choli [55]

F = 52000 N

m = 1060 kg

a= F/m = 52000 N/1060 kg = 49.0566 m/s^2

A train travels 85 kilometers in 5 hours, and then 63 kilometers in 5 hours what is its average speed?
Lesechka [4]
We know average speed =total distance/time taken
So avg speed=(85+63)/(5+5)=14.8km/hr
