Answer:

It is used in MRI because it does not damage cells

Radio waves are used for space research because they have very long wavelengths

Explanation:

Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. However, these highly ionizing radiation damage cells and its dosage must be carefully managed to avoid creating radiation related health problems for the patients.

Radio waves can be used in MRI without issues because the energy of the radiation is not sufficient to cause damage to cells but is sufficient to provide images for the sake of medical diagnosis.

Secondly, radio waves have long wavelength. This property is suitable for long range

communication. Hence it can be used in space research

A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

vfiekz [6]

The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
$J=F \Delta t$
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
$J=\Delta p$
If we put the two equations together, we find
$F \Delta t= \Delta p$
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
$\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s$

If a FM radio station broadcasts at 80. 3 MHz (megahertz), what is its wavelength in m (speed of light 3. 0 x 108 m/s)

hammer [34]

Answer:

Wavelength = 3.74 m

Explanation:

In order to find wavelength in "metres", we must first convert megahertz to hertz.

1 MHz = 1 × 10⁶ Hz

80.3 Mhz = x

x = 80.3 × 1 × 10⁶ = 8.03 × 10⁷ Hz

The formula between wave speed, frequency and wavelength is:

v = fλ [where v is wave speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength]

Reorganise the equation and make λ the subject.

λ = v ÷ f

λ = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (8.03 × 10⁷)

λ = 3.74 m [rounded to 3 significant figures]
