Answer:

Infrared

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is a constant value:

$c=3.00\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Also, electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From highest to lowest frequency, we have:

gamma-rays $10^{20}-10^{24} Hz$

x-rays $10^{17}-10^{20}Hz$

ultraviolet $10^{15}-10^{17} Hz$

visible $[4-7.5]\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

infrared $10^{14} Hz$

microwaves $10^{11}-10^{13} Hz$

radio waves

Therefore, from the table we see that both infrared and visible light have higher frequency than microwaves, but lower frequency than UV (ultraviolet).

How do Newton’s laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a pu

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. Therefore, when the ice is smooth, friction gets lesser, and the force acted on that Puck will be decreased.

A block of mass m is attached to a rope wound around the outer rim of a disk of radius R and moment of inertia I, which is free

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.

The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is

a = R α .... (1)

According to the diagram,

T x R = I x α

T x R = I x a / R from equation (1)

T = I x a / R² .... (2)

mg - T = ma .... (3)

Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)

$mg - \frac{Ia}{R^{2}}=ma$

$a=\frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}$

T is the acceleration in the system

Substitute the value of a in equation (2)

$T = \frac{I}{R^{2}}\times \frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}$

$T=\frac{I\times mg}{I+mR^{2}}$

This is the tension in the string.

A thermometer initially reading 212F is placed in a room where the temperature is 70F. After 2 minutes the thermometer reads 125

frez [133]

Answer:

91.3°F

Explanation:

Let T be the temperature of the thermometer at any time

T∞ be the temperature of the room = 70°F

T₀ be the initial temperature of the thermometer = 212°F

And m, c, h are all constants from the cooling law relation

From Newton's law of cooling

Rate of Heat loss by the cake = Rate of Heat gain by the environment

- mc (d/dt)(T - T∞) = h (T - T∞)

(d/dt) (T - T∞) = dT/dt (Because T∞ is a constant)

dT/dt = (-h/mc) (T - T∞)

Let (h/mc) be k

dT/(T - T∞) = -kdt

Integrating the left hand side from T₀ to T and the right hand side from 0 to t

In [(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞)] = -kt

(T - T∞)/(T₀ - T∞) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - T∞) = (T₀ - T∞)e⁻ᵏᵗ

Inserting the known variables

(T - 70) = (212 - 70)e⁻ᵏᵗ

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

At t = 2 minute, T = 125°F

125 - 70 = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

55/142 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

- kt = In (55/142) = In (0.3873)

- k(2) = - 0.9485

k = 0.4742 /min

At time t = 4 mins

kt = 0.4742 × 4 = 1.897

(T - 70) = 142 e⁻ᵏᵗ

e^(-1.897) = 0.15

T - 70 = 142 × 0.15 = 21.3

T = 91.3°F
