The definition of waves that propagate through electric fields is called electromagnetic waves. The earth, despite being covered with clouds, can be 'affected' because waves such as sunlight or the moon have the ability to penetrate and be visible to the inhabitants of the earth. Microwaves and radio waves would be less affected by the clouds that cover the Earth.

Through these waves, you can know that there is beyond the clouds.

Ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the radiations that penetrate through the clouds and reach the Earth's surface.

Therefore, the answer is Yes, ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the forms of radiation that penetrate and reach the ground.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s

Which of the following is most likely not a case of uniform circular motion
Ivan

Answer:

Motion of a racing car on a circular track

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion means the motion of the object is in a circle with a CONSTANT SPEED.

The racing car will accelerate during its motion. Hence, it is not a uniform circular motion.

A spring stretches 0.2 cm per newton of applied force. An object is suspended from the spring and a deflection of 3 cm is observ
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m=1.53kg    

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:

F=k*\Delta x     (1)

F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.

The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:

1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm  

The force applied is due to the weight

F=mg

We replace in (1):

mg=k*\Delta x  

We solve the equation for m:

m=k*\Delta x/g=5*3/9.81=1.53kg

A rocket travels 1.3 km in 62 ms. What is its average speed in m⋅s−1? Do not give your answer in scientific notation. The answer
hjlf

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

Speed = \frac {distance}{time}

Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

A student drops a ball from the top of a tall building; it takes 2.9 s for the ball to reach the ground.
AlexFokin [52]

<h2><u>We have</u>,</h2>

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 2.9s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = + 10 m/s² [Down]

<h2><u>To calculate</u>,</h2>

  • Final velocity (v)
  • Height (h)

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>,</u></h2>

→ v = u + gt

→ v = 0 + 10(2.9)

→ v = 29 m/s \qquad … ( Ans )

And,

→ h = ut + ½gt²

→ h = 0(2.9) + ½ × 10 × (2.9)²

→ h = 5 × 8.41

→ h = 42.05 m \qquad … ( Ans )
