They are produced in different processes and are detected in different ways, but they are not fundamentally different. Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation.

Answer:

Radio waves are long wavelength waves, with short frequencies.

Gamma rays are short wavelength waves with longest frequencies.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are radio waves, micro waves, infra red waves, visible rays, ultraviolet rays , x rays and gamma rays. The order written here is decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency, for the respective waves.

Radio waves and Gamma rays both belong to the electromagnetic spectrum of waves.Radio waves are used for long distance radio wave propagation. Gamma rays are used widely in medicine. They are used to treat a lot of diseases. Gamma rays have very high energy. Gamma rays are radioactive in nature.

The required constant friction force for the last 20 m is 6,862.8 N

Explanation:

Energy Conversion

There are several ways the energy is manifested in our physical reality. Some examples are Kinetic, Elastic, Chemical, Electric, Potential, Thermal, Mechanical, just to mention some.

The energy can be converted from one form to another by changing the conditions the objects behave. The question at hand states some types of energy that properly managed, will make the situation keep under control.

Originally, the m=220 kg car is at (near) rest at the top of a h=101 m tall track. We can assume the only energy present at that moment is the potential gravitational energy:

$E_1=mgh=220\cdot 9.8\cdot 101=217,756\ J$

For the next x1=230 m, a constant friction force Fr1=350 N is applied until it reaches ground level. This means all the potential gravitational energy was converted to speed (kinetic energy K1) and friction (thermal energy W1). Thus

$E_1=K_1+W_1$

We can compute the thermal energy lost during this part of the motion by using the constant friction force and the distance traveled:

$W_1=F_{r1}\cdot x_1=350\cdot 230=80,500\ J$

This means that the kinetic energy that remains when the car reaches ground level is

$K_1=E_1-W_1=217,756\ J-80,500\ J=137,256\ J$

We could calculate the speed at that point but it's not required or necessary. That kinetic energy is what keeps the car moving to its last section of x2=20 m where a final friction force Fr2 will be applied to completely stop it. This means all the kinetic energy will be converted to thermal energy:

$W_2=F_{r2}\cdot x_2=137,256$

Solving for Fr2

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\frac{137,256}{20}=6,862.8\ N$

The required constant friction force for the last 20 m is 6,862.8 N

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3.69 m/s

Explanation:

Forces :

mgsin Θ - mumgcosΘ = ma

g x sinΘ - mu x g x cosΘ = a

9.8 x sin 21 - 0.53 x 9.8 x cos 21 = a

a = -1.337 m/s²

so you have final velocity = 0 m/s

initial velocity = ? m/s

Given d = 5.1 m

By kinematics

vf² = vo² + 2ad

0 = vo² + 2 x -1.337*5.1

vo = 3.69 m/s

A force AB of length 100m and weight 600N has its centre of gravity 4.0 m from the end, and lies on horizontal ground calculate

Stells [14]

Answer:

F = 24 N

Explanation:

In this exercise we have a bar l = 100 m with a center of gravity x = 4 m, which force is needed to lift it from the other end

Let's use the rotational equilibrium relationship, where we consider the counterclockwise rotations as positive and fix the reference system at the point closest to the center of gravity

∑ τ = 0

F l -x W = 0

F = $\frac{x}{l} \ W$

let's calculate

F = $\frac{4}{100}$ 4/100 600

F = 24 N

A 10-kg object is dropped from rest. after falling a distance of 50 m, it has a speed of 26 m/s. what is the change in mechanica

likoan [24]

The change in mechanical energy caused by the dissipative resistance force is equal to, difference between the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object.

Potential energy of the object, P.E = mgh

m is mass of the object = 10 kg

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h= height from which it is dropped =50 m

Substituting the value we get,

P.E = 10×9.8×50 = 4900 J

Kinetic energy of the object, K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

v is the velocity of the object = 26 m/s²

K.E = (1/2)×10×(26)²

= 3380 J

Change in mechanical energy caused by dissipative force = P.E ₋ K.E

= 4900 ₋ 3380 = 1520 J

Leona [35]

The movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. Earth convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
