A positively-charged object with a mass of 0.129 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency)

radio waves that have a wavelength of 3.86 × 10^7 m. The frequency of these radio waves is the same as the frequency at which the object oscillates. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:308 N/m

Explanation:

Given

mass\left ( m\right )=0.129 kg

wavelength\left ( \lambda \right )=3.86\times 10^7

We know frequency =\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{3.86\tmes 10^7}

f=7.772 Hz

As the frequency of radio waves is same as the frequency at which object oscillates

f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

7.772=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

7.772\times 2\times \pi =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

k=307.70\approx 308 N/m

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.

lisov135 [29]
So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s

Energy is conserved. This means that in any system, _________. a) energy is constantly recycled b) total energy input equals tot
tangare [24]

Answer:

b) total energy input equals total energy output

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a generalization of the conservation of energy in thermal processes. It is based on Joule's conclusion that heat and energy are equivalent. But to get there you have to get around some traps along the way.

From Joule's conclusion we might be tempted to call heat "internal" energy associated with temperature. We could then add heat to the potential and kinetic energies of a system, and call this sum the total energy, which is what it would conserve. In fact, this solution works well for a wide variety of phenomena, including Joule's experiments. Problems arise with the idea of ​​heat "content" of a system. For example, when a solid is heated to its melting point, an additional "heat input" causes the melting but without increasing the temperature. With this simple experiment we see that simply considering the thermal energy measured only by a temperature increase as part of the total energy of a system will not give a complete general law.

Instead of "heat," we can use the concept of internal energy, that is, an energy in the system that can take forms not directly related to temperature. We can then use the word "heat" to refer only to a transfer of energy between a system and its environment. Similarly, the term work will not be used to describe something contained in the system, but describes a transfer of energy from one system to another. Heat and work are, therefore, two ways in which energy is transferred, not energies.

In an isolated system, that is, a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, the total energy must remain constant. If the system exchanges energy with its environment but not matter (what is called a closed system), it can do so only in two ways: a transfer of energy either in the form of work done on or by the system, either in the form of heat to or from the system. In the event that there is energy transfer, the change in the energy of the system must be equal to the net energy gained or lost by the environment.
