Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a continuous range of frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from long wavelength, low energy radio waves to short wavelength, high frequency, high-energy gamma rays. The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays.

Explanation:Exploration of the electromagnetic spectrum quickly resulted practical advances. German physicist Henrich Rudolph Hertz regarded Maxwell's equations as a path to a "kingdom" or "great domain" of electromagnetic waves. Based on this insight, in 1888, Hertz demonstrated the existence of radio waves. A decade later, Wilhelm Röent gen's discovery of high-energy electromagnetic radiation in the form of x rays quickly found practical medical use.This was on my notes

A 1613 kg car moves with a velocity of 9 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

ryzh [129]

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

K.E. = 1/2 (1613)(9)²

K.E. = 1/2 * 1613*81

K.E. = 65326.5 Kgm/s

A 0.144kg baseball is pitched horizontally at 38.0 m/s. After the baseball is hit by the bat, it moves at the same speed, but in

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Given:

mass of the ball m = 0.144 kg

velocity v = 38 m/s

now, change in momentum

P = m v- ( - mv)

= 2 mv

=2 x (0.144) x (38)

= 10.944 kg-m/s

Impulse J= F. Δt

change in momentum is equal to impulse

J = 10.944 kg-m/s

we know force is equal to change in momentum per unit time

$F = \dfrac{P}{t}$

$F = \dfrac{10.944}{0.8\times 10^{-3}}$

F = 13.68 x 10³ N

F = 13.68 kN

A rock is thrown with a force of 500 N and an acceleration is 75 m/s^2. What is its mass?

artcher [175]

Answer:

We conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 500 N

Acceleration a = 75 m/s²

To determine

Mass m = ?

Important Tip:

The mass of a rock can be found using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

$F = ma$

where

F is the force (N)

m is the mass (kg)

a is the acceleration (m/s²)

now substituting F = 500, and a = 75 m/s² in the formula

$F = ma$

$500 = m(75)$

switch sides

$m\left(75\right)=500$

Divide both sides by 75

$\frac{m\cdot \:75}{75}=\frac{500}{75}$

simplify

$m=\frac{20}{3}$

$m=6.7$ kg

Therefore, we conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

if a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s/

Pie

Answer: The speed reading would increase each second by 20m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit change in time.

Acceleration = velocity/time

∆v = a∆t

Given a = g = 20m/s/s (acceleration due to gravity)

∆t = 1 sec

∆v = 20m/s/s × 1s

∆v = 20m/s

Therefore, the speed reading would increase each second by 20m/s

Use Kepler's third law to find the planet's average distance (semimajor axis) from its star. (Hint: Because the mass of the star

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation: The planet average distance = 42300km

Kepler's 3rd Law also known as the Harmonic Law states that;

for each planet orbitting the sun, its side real period squared divided by the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit is a constant.

A planet, mass m, orbits the sun, mass M, in a circle of radius r and a period t. The net force on the planet is a centripetal force, and is caused the force of gravity between the sun and the planet.
