Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.
Answer:
Radio waves
Explanation:
The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:
- Gamma rays
- X-rays
- Ultraviolet
- Visible light
- Infrared radiation
- Microwaves
- Radio waves
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (
) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
You know you can skip those and just submit them, they don’t even check them
Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface. If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet. I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.
average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction
Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)
Divide each side by 'm' : v = (momentum) / (mass) =
The Earth's "recoil" velocity is (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) =
1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =
<em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second
</em>I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable. But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
