Answer:

The electromagnetic wave that travels the fastest through space is gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is a type of wave which does not require material medium for its propagation. Examples of electromagnetic waves according to increasing frequency of the waves are gamma ray, x-ray, ultra violet ray, infra red, visible light, micro wave and radio waves.

Frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to period of oscillation of the wave. The higher the frequency of a wave, the shorter the period of oscillation. Gamma ray has the highest wave frequency in electromagnetic spectrum and shorter period of oscillation, thereby causing it to have the highest penetration power.

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J

But ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

Answer:

Impulse = 322.5[kg*m/s], the answer is D

Explanation:

This method it is based on the principle of momentum and the amount of movement; and used to solve problems involving strength, mass, speed and time.

If units of the SI are used, the magnitude of the impulse of a force is expressed in N * s. however, when remembering the definition of the newton.

$N*S=(kg*m/s^{2} )*s = kg*m/s$

Now replacing the values on the following equation that express the definition of impulse

$Impulse = Force * Time\\\\Impulse = 215 * 1.5 = 322.5 [kg*m/s]$
