What vertical distance Δy does a free-falling particle travel from the moment it starts to the moment it reaches a speed of 7.9

m/s if it starts from rest? Work out your solution using one of the equations for vertical motion with constant acceleration, specifically, v2f=v2i+2aΔy, where vi and vf are the particle’s initial and final speeds, respectively, and a is the particle’s acceleration.

Answer:

3.2 m

Explanation:

The equation to use to solve this problem is:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a \Delta y

where

v_f is the final velocity

v_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

\Delta y is the distance covered

For the particle in free-fall in this problem, we have

v_i = 0 (it starts from rest)

v_f = 7.9 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

By re-arranging the equation, we can find the distance travelled:

\Delta y = \frac{v_f^2 -v_i^2}{2a}=\frac{(7.9 m/s)^2-0^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=3.2 m

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

gamma rays , X rays,  ultraviolet , visible light , infrared,  radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy.   If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:  

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.  

Let's make a brief of them:

-Gamma rays: With a wavelength in the order of 10^{-12}m, is a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter quite deeply and is able to cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells. Inaddiito, these rays are used to sterilize medical equipment and food.

-X rays: With a wavelength between 1m and 10km. It is invisible to the human eye, capable of crossing opaque bodies and of being an ionizing radiation.

-Ultraviolet light: Whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

-Visible light: This part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light (380 nm - 780 nm).  It should be noted, the fact the only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

-Infrared: This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).  

These waves can be divided into:  

<u>- Near infrared</u> or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.  

<u>- Medium or medium wave infrared:</u> it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.  

-<u> Far infrared or short wave infrared: </u>it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.  

This light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

-Radio waves: These are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 m to 10,000 m. This type of electromagnetic waves is very well reflected in the ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere through which they travel directly or using repeaters.  In addition, they are very useful to transport information, being important in telecommunications. They are used not only for conventional radio transmissions but also in mobile telephony and TV.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about Earth’s magnetism.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

39. Draw a complete free body diagram of a 40 kg plastic crate at rest on a wooden table (us=0.7). The applied force to the righ
Leya [2.2K]

In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:

\begin{gathered} F_f=N\cdot\mu \\ F_f=40\cdot9.8\cdot0.7 \\ F_f=274.4\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.

The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.

So, drawing the diagram, we have:

You just tested the hypothesis a proposed model for the position of bright fringes produced by two slits. Explain what the model
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

two-slit interference model was proposed by Young     d sin θ = m λ

Explanation:

The two-slit interference model was proposed by Young, it establishes that if a coherent source of light passes through two slits, the shape of the given pattern is a consequence of the relative phase difference between the two rays; mathematically it can be expressed by

           d sin θ = m λ

          m= 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

for constructive interference, that is, the two rays arrive with a number between wavelengths.

D is the distance between the slits, tea the angle between the two rays, m an integer and m the wavelength used.

In a simulation a pattern of slits of equal intensity and equally spaced is observed.
