Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the

gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. You throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 9 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. If it takes 6.4 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it was released, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?

Answer:

<h3> 1.40625m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion expressed as v = u+gt where;

v is the  final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given

u = 9m/s

v = 0m/s

t = 6.4s

Required

acceleration due to gravity g

Since the rock is thrown up, g will be a negative value.

v = u+(-g)t

0 = 9-6.4g

-9 = -6.4g

6.4g = 9

divide both sides by 6.4

6.4g/6.4 = 9/6.4

g = 1.40625m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is  1.40625m/s²

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.

A continental polar air mass forms in
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. Northern Canada

Explanation:

A continental polar air mass can form over the land during the winter months. In the Northern Hemisphere, it originates in northern Canada or Alaska. As it moves southward, it brings dry weather conditions to the United States. Temperature and humidity levels are both low. Hope this helps :)
