<span>Copernicus decided this with more of an educated guess than anything. For example is when your standing right next to a plane it's huge Right? Well when it's flying it looks really small. He used the same reasoning for stars. Since it looks small it must be farther away.</span>

Which property of X-rays allows them to enter our bodies and create pictures of our bones and other internal structures?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(A) Their high energy

Explanation:

The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.

The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.

X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

How does frequency relate to pitch?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave. ... That is, two sound waves sound good when played together if one sound has twice the frequency of the other.

A string that is 3.6 m long is tied between two posts and plucked. The string produces a wave that has a frequency of 320 Hz and
marin [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

\lambda = \frac{192}{320}

\lambda = 0.6m

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

N = \frac{L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}

N = 6

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.
