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:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

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.

What force stops a car from sinking into the road surface?
mariarad [96]
I believe it's technically referred to as the Normal force.
However I like to think of it as the reaction force, as it is the force that is a result of obeying Newton's 3rd law ("<span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"). The upward force from the ground is the reaction to the downward force of gravity.</span>

How many kcalories are provided by a food that contains 25 g carbohydrate, 6 g protein, and 5 g fat?
MrRissso [65]

<u>169 Kcalories</u> are provided by a portion of food that has 25 grams of carbs, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat.

Kcalories mean kilo-calories. Basically, kilo-calorie or kcal refers to 1,000 calories. To get the Kcalories of food, you have to add the kcal of carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Get the product by multiplying the number of grams of carbohydrate, protein, and fat by 4,4, and 9, respectively. So if you want to get the energy or Kcal available from a meal, you must then combine the outcomes.

Simply put it, take note of the following conversions:

  • 1 gram of carbohydrate is 4kcal
  • 1 gram of protein is also 4kcal
  • Though, 1 gram of fat is 9kcal

So here's how to compute the Kcalories of food that contains 25g carbs, 6g protein, and 5g fat.

1.    25g x 4kcal/g = 100kcal

2.    6g x 4kcal/g = 24kcal

3.    5g x 9kcal/g = 45kcal

4.    100kcal + 24kcal + 45kcal = 169kcal!


Therefore, the food contains 169 kilo-calories!
