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.

A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

B) What are the only two sources of energy that produce all the energy we use on Earth? What form
Zina [86]

Answer:

Solar and nuclear power generate more than 99 percent of our civilization's energy. Every other important source of energy is a combination of these two. The majority of them are solar in nature. We discharge previously collected solar energy when we burn wood.

and

Nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal, and natural gas), and renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower) are all examples of primary energy sources.

A 3.15-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 6t2 − 4 and y = 5t3 + 6, where x and y are in m
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

<h2>206.67N</h2>

Explanation:

The sum of force along both components x and y is expressed as;

\sum Fx = ma_x  \ and \ \sum Fy = ma_y

The magnitude of the net force which is also known as the resultant will be expressed as R =\sqrt{(\sum Fx)^2 + (\sum Fx )^2}

To get the resultant, we need to get the sum of the forces along each components. But first lets get the acceleration along the components first.

Given the position of the object along the x-component to be x = 6t² − 4;

a_x = \frac{d^2 x }{dt^2}

a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dx}{dt} )\\ \\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(6t^{2}-4  )\\\\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t  )\\\\a_x = 12m/s^{2}

Similarly,

a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dy}{dt} )\\ \\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(5t^{3} +6 )\\\\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(15t^{2}   )\\\\a_y = 30t\\a_y \ at \ t= 2.15s; a_y = 30(2.15)\\a_y = 64.5m/s^2

\sum F_x = 3.15 * 12 = 37.8N\\\sum F_y = 3.15 * 64.5 = 203.18N

R = \sqrt{37.8^2+203.18^2}\\ \\R = \sqrt{1428.84+41,282.11}\\ \\R = \sqrt{42.710.95}\\ \\R = 206.67N

Hence, the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.15 s is approximately 206.67N
