Electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for propagation. Radiowaves have the longest wavelength but the least frequency. 
Gamma ray has the shortest wavelength but the highest frequency. 

The gamma rays and x-rays due to their high frequency, they can disturb the medium they pass through. They have high energy that can cause damage to the matter the come across.

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force F_c. In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force f_sbetween the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

f_s=F_c

And since f_s\leq \mu N and F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}, we have:

\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg

Substituting this expression for N and solving for v, we get:

\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.

The number line shows the starting and ending velocities for ball 1. What’s the change in velocity of ball 1? Calculate the valu
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The starting velocity for ball 1 is 1.00 meter/second. Its ending velocity is 0.25 meter/second.

The change in velocity for ball 1 is 0.25 – 1.00 = -0.75 meter/seconds

Briefly describe the history of the metric system as it applies to the meter and how the definition of a meter has changed over
Shalnov [3]

Answer and explanation;

In 1670 Gabriel Mouton, Vicar of St. Paul’s Church and an astronomer proposed the swing  length  of  a  pendulum  with  a  frequency  of  one  beat  per  second  as  the  unit  of length.

In 1791 the Commission of the French Academy of Sciences proposed the name meter to the unit of length. It would equal one tens-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris.It is realistically represented by the distance between two marks on an iron bar kept in Paris.

In 1889 the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures define the meter as the distance between two lines on a standard bar that made of an alloy of 90%platinum with 10%iridium.

In 1960 the meter was redefined as 1650763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light, in a vacuum, produced by burning the element krypton (Kr-86).

In 1984 the Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures has  defined  the  meter  as  the  distance  light  travels,  in  a  vacuum,  in 1299792458⁄ seconds  with  time  measured  by  a  cesium-133  atomic  clock  which  emits  pulses  of radiation at very rapid, regular intervals.

A mass is oscillating up and down on a spring. In the above graph of
melomori [17]

Answer:

<em>Amplitude= 8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Amplitude of a Wave</u>

Sinusoidal Function  refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m

3. In some countries AC outlets near bathtubs are restricted to a maximum of 25 V to minimize the chance of dangerous shocks whi
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ωm. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) if skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for lethal shock current 100 mA?

Solution:

The resistance (R) of a material is given by the formula:

R = ρL / A

where L is the length of the conductor, ρ is resistivity and A is the cross sectional area.

a) R = ρL / A

ρ = 5.0 Ωm, L = 1.6 m, A = π(diameter²) / 4 = π(0.1²)/4 = 0.00785 m²

R = 5(1.6) / 0.00785 = 1018.6 ohm

b) To produce 100 mA, we need to use ohms law:

I = 100 mA = 0.1 A, R = 1018.6 ohm

V = IR = 0.1(1018.6)

V = 101.86 V
