<h2>Answer: electromagnetic spectrum </h2>

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.

Where those with shorter wavelength (or higher frequency) have more energy than those with a longer wavelength.

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially relea

grandymaker [24]

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.

(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.

(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

Answer:

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

8 cycles

Explanation:

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;

it implies that the mass (m) = $\frac{w}{g}$

m= $\frac{32}{32}$

= 1 slug

Also from Hooke's Law

2 k = 32

k = $\frac{32}{2}$

k = 16 lb/ft

Using the function:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} = - 16x\\\frac{d^2x}{dt} + 16x =0$

$x(0) = -1$ (because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)

$x(0) = -6$ ( as a result of upward velocity)

NOW, we have:

$x(t)=c_1cos4t+c_2sin4t\\x^{'}(t) = 4(-c_1sin4t+c_2cos4t)$

However;

$x(0) = -1$ means

$-1 =c_1\\c_1 = -1$

$x(0) =-6$ also implies that:

$-6 =4(c_2)\\c_2 = - \frac{6}{4}$

$c_2 = -\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, $x(t) =-cos4t-\frac{3}{2} sin 4t$

$A = \sqrt{C_1^2+C_2^2}$

$A = \sqrt{(-1)^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2 }$

$A=\sqrt{\frac{13}{4} }$

$A= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13}$

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period can be calculated as follows:

= $\frac{2 \pi}{4}$

= $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

At the end of 4 seconds, we have:

$x* \frac{\pi}{2} = 4 \pi$

$x \pi = 8 \pi$

$x=8$ cycles

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

True or false The momentum of a 100kg object traveling at 3 m/s is 300 N

melomori [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).

One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as
