Electromagnetic spectrum consists of
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-ray
Gamma ray

We use these everyday in our life however they also have dangers.

Radio waves - their long wavelength allows them to help with communication
Danger - exposure to a lot of radio waves can cause cancer or leukaemia

Microwaves - used for heating up food and transferring heat to the food.
Dangers - exposure can cause cancers and other diseases.

Infrared - can be used for remote controls and security cameras.
Danger - can cause damage to the cornea in your eye

Visible light - used for photography and optical fibres.
Danger - intense sources can cause permanent or temporary damage to the eyesight.

Ultraviolet - can be used to sterilise food and sterilise surgical equipment.
Danger - can cause skin damage and may lead to a cancer.

X-rays - used to see the internal structure of tissues and bones.
Dangers - can lead to mutations and May damage the cells

Gamma- can be used to sterilise food and surgical equipment and kill microorganisms and other bacteria.
Dangers - May reach your cells and cause cancer and cell mutations which could result in mutations.

If a skydiver jumps out of a plane horizontally (in other words with no initial vertical velocity), then what will her vertical

erastovalidia [21]

The final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the girl</h3>

The time of motion of the girl is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

v is initial vertical velocity = 0
t is time of motion
g is acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the given parameters and solve for time of motion;

50.8 = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)t²

2(50.8) = 9.8t²

101.6 = 9.8t²

t² = 101.6/9.8

t² = 10.367

t = √10.367

t = 3.22 seconds

<h3>Final vertical velocity of the skydiver</h3>

vf = vi + gt

where;

vi is the initial vertical velocity = 0

vf = 0 + 9.8(3.22)

vf = 31.56 m/s

Thus, the final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

beks73 [17]

Option B The thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using a micrometer screw gauge.

<h3>What can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?</h3>

One micrometer of thickness can be measured with a micron micrometre screw gauge. A Use of Micrometer Screw Gauge as like example Upon turning the screw of the micrometer screw gauge four times, a 2 mm space is covered.

<h3>What purposes does a micrometer serve?</h3>

A tool known as a micrometer is used to measure solid objects’ lengths, thicknesses, and other dimensions precisely and linearly.

<h3>What is the micrometer screw gauge’s SI unit?</h3>

The SI symbol m is also known as a micron, which is an SI-derived unit of length equaling 1106 meters, where 106 is the SI standard prefix for the prefix “micro-.” A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter.

A football kicked in front of a goal post at an angle of 45 degree to the ground just clear the top by of the post 3m high. Calc

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A. 10.84 m/s

B. 1.56 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

A. Determination of the velocity of projection.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

H = u²Sine²θ / 2g

3 = u²(Sine 45)² / 2 × 9.8

3 = u²(0.7071)² / 19.6

Cross multiply

3 × 19.6 = u²(0.7071)²

58.8 = u²(0.7071)²

Divide both side by (0.7071)²

u² = 58.8 / (0.7071)²

u² = 117.60

Take the square root of both side

u = √117.60

u = 10.84 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of projection is 10.84 m/s.

B. Determination of the time taken to hit the ground again.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Velocity of projection (u) = 10.84 m/s

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

T = 2uSine θ /g

T = 2 × 10.84 × Sine 45 / 9.8

T = 21.68 × 0.7071 / 9.8

T = 1.56 s

Therefore, the time taken to hit the ground again is 1.56 s.
