Arrange the following types of photons of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy: red light, radio, x-rays, γ-r

MrRa [10]

Answer:The correct order is

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum we have the following electromagnetic radiation Radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-ray and gamma rays. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and radio waves the lowest. From the formula;

E=hf, where;

E is energy

h is Planck constant

f is frequency

We can see that the energy of these radiation depends on the magnitude of their frequency. Hence Gamma ray with highest frequency will have the highest energy and radio waves the lowest energy. Red light however is found at the lower end of the visible light spectrum . the correct order is;

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

In 2017, the company SpaceX became the first private company to send supplies to the International Space Station with a reusable

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Approximately $3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Assumption: air resistance on the rocket is negligible. Take $g = \rm 9.81\; m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of the rocket is proportional to the net force on it.

$\displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}}$ .

Note that in this case, the uppercase letter $\rm M$ in the units stands for "mega-", which is the same as $10^6$ times the unit that follows. For example, $\rm 1\; Mg = 10^6\; g$ , while $\rm 1\; MN = 10^6\; N$ .

Convert the mass of the rocket and the thrust of its engines to SI standard units:

The standard unit for mass is kilograms: $\displaystyle m = \rm 552\; Mg = 552 \times 10^6\; g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{10^3\; g} = 552 \times 10^3 \; kg$ .
The standard for forces (including thrust) is Newtons: $\text{Thrust} = \rm 7.61 \; MN = 7.61 \times 10^6\; N$ .

At launch, the velocity of the rocket would be pretty low. Hence, compared to thrust and weight, the air resistance on the rocket would be pretty negligible. The two main forces that contribute to the net force of the rocket would be:

Thrust (which is supposed to go upwards), and
Weight (downwards due to gravity.)

The thrust on the rocket is already known to be $\rm 7.61 \times 10^6\; N$ . Since the rocket is quite close to the ground, the gravitational acceleration on it should be approximately $9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 9.81 \; N \cdot kg^{-1}$ . Hence, the weight on the rocket would be approximately $9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 552 \times 10^3\; kg = 5.41412\times 10^6\; N$ .

The magnitude of the net force on the rocket would be

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Thrust} - \text{Weight} \\ &= 7.61 \times 10^6\; \rm N - 5.41412\times 10^6\; N \\ &\approx 2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Apply the formula $\displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}}$ to find the net force on the rocket. To make sure that the output (acceleration) is in SI units (meters-per-second,) make sure that the inputs (net force and mass) are also in SI units (Newtons for net force and kilograms for mass.)

$\begin{aligned}\displaystyle &\text{Acceleration} \\ &= \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}} \\ &= \frac{2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N}{552 \times 10^3\; \rm kg} \\ &\approx \rm 3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .
