Answer:

Relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Microwaves

Wavelength = $10^{-2}\ m$

Infrared waves

Wavelength = $10^{-5}\ m$

Visible waves

Wavelength = $0.5\times 10^{-6}\ m$

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Ultraviolet waves

Wavelength = $10^{-8}\ m$

X ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-10}\ m$

Gamma ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-12}\ m$

So, it can be seen that the visible light makes up a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A metallic conductor has a resistivity of 35 × 10 −6 Ω⋅m. What is the resistance of a piece that is 20 m long and has a uniform

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

Explanation:

Resistance:

Resistance of a metallic conductor is directly proportional to its length(l).

Resistance of a metallic conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A).

The notation sign of resistance is R.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

Therefore,

$R \propto l$

and

$R \propto \frac{1}{A}$

$\therefore R\propto \frac{l}{A}$

$\Rightarrow R=\rho \frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the proportional constant.

It is also known as resistivity of that metal.

Given ρ=35×10⁻⁶Ω-m

l= 20 m

A= 4.0×10⁻⁶m²

$\therefore R=35\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{20}{4.0\times 10^{-6}}$

=175Ω

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

I need help with this question how to solve it for Brass and Cooper

Ksenya-84 [330]

Take into account that density and relative density are given by:

$\begin{gathered} \text{density}=\text{ mass/volume} \\ \text{relative density = density/density of water} \end{gathered}$

Take into account that the volume associated to each of the given sustances in the table is determined by the Level Difference (because it is the change in the volume of the water of the recipient in which the substance is immersed).

The density of water in kg/m^3 is 1000 kg/m^3.

Due to the density must be given in kg/m^3, it is necessary to express the volumes of the table in m^3 and mass in kg, then, consider the following conversion factor:

1 m^3 = 1000000 ml

1 kg = 1000 g

Then, you obtain the following results:

Brass:

$\begin{gathered} 53.2g\cdot\frac{1kg}{1000g}=0.0532kg \\ 6ml\cdot\frac{1m^3}{1000000ml}=0.000006m^3 \\ \text{density}=\frac{0.0532kg}{0.000006m^3}\approx8866.67\frac{kg}{m^3} \\ \text{relative density=}\frac{(\frac{8866.66kg}{m^3})}{(1000\frac{kg}{m^3})}\approx8.87 \end{gathered}$

Cooper:

$\begin{gathered} 57.4g=0.0574kg \\ 6ml=0.000006m^3 \\ \text{density}=\frac{0.0574kg}{0.000006m^3}\approx9566.67\frac{kg}{m^3} \\ \text{relative density=}\frac{\frac{9566.67kg}{m^3}}{1000kg}=9.57 \end{gathered}$

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?

AysviL [449]

K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!
