True or false? objects that are sitting still have kinetic energy

1 answer:

5 0

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. An object sitting still isn't moving, therefore it has no kinetic energy. The statement in the question is false.

The frequency of a microwave is 1.2 x 10^9 hertz. what is the wavelength of the given problem.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating 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:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

$f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz$

So its wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m$

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state

posledela

Answer:

a) y₂ = 49.1 m , t = 1.02 s , b) y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

$v_{y}$ ² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

y-yo = $v_{oy}² /2 g
 y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
 y - 0 = 5.10 m
 
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
 y₂ = 5.1 + 44
 y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
 [tex]v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - g t

t = $v_{oy}$ / g

t = 10 / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

y- 44.0 = $v_{y}$ ² / 2 g

y - 44.0 = 5.1

y = 5.1 +44.0

y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

t = 1.02 s

How do physicists distinguish one type of electromagnetic wave from another?

GenaCL600 [577]

A wave is characterized by the cyclic occurrences of crests and troughs. Wavelengthis defined as the distance between two consecutive troughs or two crests and the Frequency is defined as the number of cycles that pass through a point per second

Which of the following models shows how unpredictable electrons are?

Fantom [35]

The exact location of electrons in electron shells of atoms cannot be exactly ascertained. This is why VSPER atomic models represent the position of electrons (s, p, d, & f) using the probability of where they would most be expected to be found.

Explanation:

This is because merely observing electrons changes their behavior. Remember that to observe something one has to shine light on it so it bounces back to the eye. Due to the negligible mass of electrons, mere photons of light will change their direction of movement, spin or other behaviors/properties.
