A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the masses are
1 answer:
Answer:
The time taken will be 0.553 seconds.
Explanation:
We should start off by finding the force exerted by the rope on the 3kg weight in this case.
Weight of 5kg mass = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 N
Weight of 3kg mass = 3 * 9.81 = 29.43 N
The force acting upward on the 3kg mass will equal the weight of the 5kg mass. Thus the resultant force acting on the 3kg mass is:
Total force = 49.05 - 29.43 = 19.62 N (upwards)
We can now find the acceleration:
F = m * a
19.62 = 3 * a
a = 6.54 m/s^2
We now use the following equation of motion to get the time taken to travel 1 meter:
t = 0.553 seconds

Answer:
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Now we can analyze the 4 statements:
X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.
X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
