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.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0

For the address and we have:

-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0

The forces F_1 and F_2 are known

F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N

We have 2 unknowns (F_3 and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear F_3 from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}

Then

-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°

Then we find the value of F_3

F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

A flatbed truck is supported by its four drive wheels, and is moving with an acceleration of 6.3 m/s2. For what value of the coe
Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642  

Explanation:

We have given acceleration a=6.3m/sec^2

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to a=\mu g, here \mu is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So \mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642
