Which of the following are found within the electromagnetic spectrum? Check all that apply. sound waves visible light X rays ult

sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t

Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N

Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. the elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. what is t

Anarel [89]

Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion, starting from the definition of angular velocity in terms of frequency, to verify the angular displacement and its respective derivative, let's start:

$\omega = 2\pi f$
