Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light.  λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017

A ball rolls down the hill which has a vertical height of 15 m. Ignoring friction what would be the gravitational potential ener
trasher [3.6K]

a) Potential energy: 147 m [J]

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

U=mgh

where

m is its mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem,

h = 15 m

We call 'm' the mass of the ball, since we don't know it

So, the potential energy of the ball at the top of the hill is

U=(m)(9.8)(15)=147 m (J)

b) Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the hill: 17.1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of friction all the potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as the ball reaches the bottom of the hill. Therefore we can write:

U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the final velocity of the ball

We know from part a) that

U = 147 m

Substituting into the equation above,

147 m = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And re-arranging for v, we find the velocity:

v=\sqrt{2\cdot 147}=17.1 m/s

For which one of the following situations will the path length equal the magnitude of the displacement? a A ball on the end of a
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

d A ball is rolling down an inclined plane.

Explanation:

When path length is equal to the displacement

then we can say that the motion of the object must be in straight line so that the distance and displacement must be same

SO here we can say

a A ball on the end of a string is moving in a vertical circle.

In circular path distance and displacement is not same

b A toy train is traveling around a circular track.

In circular path distance and displacement is not same

c A train travels 5 miles east before it stops. It then travels 2 miles west.

Net displacement is 3 miles East while distance is 7 miles

d A ball is rolling down an inclined plane.

Here its motion is in straight line so we can say that path length and displacement will be same

e A ball rises and falls after being thrown straight up from the earth's surface.

In this type of to and fro motion path length is not same as displacement

Using the graph, describe what is happening between 4 and 6 seconds. The object is moving away from the origin at a constant vel
Hunter-Best [27]

The position in the graph between 4 - 6 seconds is the region of constant velocity.

<h3>What is constant velocity?</h3>

The term constant velocity refers to the period in the graph when the velocity is not changing with time. As such, the graph is shown to be a flat portion at such a point.

Hence, it follows that the position in the graph between 4 - 6 seconds is the region of constant velocity.

a lizard ran 3 meters from his rock to his friend's house. he ran back halfway and stopped. what is his distance traveled
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4.5m

Explanation:

Distance is the total length of path traveled or covered by a body.

So distance is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude but no direction.

Therefore:

Total distance = 3 m + \frac{1}{2}(3)

So;

        3 + 1.5  = 4.5m

Total distance covered 4.5m by the body.
