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 20-cm long spring is attached to the wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100N, the spring stretches to a length of

suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part 0

All the spring moves is 2 cm

x = 2 cm * [1 m / 100 cm ]

x = 0.020 meters

F = k*d

100N = k * 0.02 m

100 N / 0.02 = k

5000 N / m

Part A

The spring feels a force of 100 N - - 100N = 200 N because each person is pulling in the opposite direction.

F = k * x

200N = 5000 N/m * d

200 / 5000 = d

d = 0.04 meters.

Part B

10.2 kg must be converted to a force as experienced here on earth.

F = m * g

g = 9.81

m = 10.2

F = 10.2 * 9.81

F = 100.06 N

F = k * d

100.06 = 5000 * d

d = 100.06 / 5000

d = 0.02 meters.

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 2m/s2 for 5s. what is the speed of a car at the end of that time?

Fiesta28 [93]

Good afternoon.

We have:

$\mathsf{V_0 = 0}\\ \mathsf{a = 2 \ m/s^2}\\ \mathsf{t = 5 \ s}$

The function of velocity:

$\mathsf{V = V_0+at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 0 + 2t}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 2t}$

For t = 5 s:

$\mathsf{V = 2\cdot 5}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 10 \ m/s}}$

Hydroelectric power relies on the transfer of energy from waves through what medium

Sedaia [141]

Through the medium of electromagnetism, energy from waves get transferred which a hydroelectric power plant heavily rely on. The turbine eventually converts the energy from the waves into mechanical energy which is transformed to electrical energy using a generator.
