Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be subdivided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC, based on their energy. What are the minimum

and maximum values of wavelength in the UVC region?

Answer:

100nm-280nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.

Add the vectors:
Anettt [7]

Vector 1 has components

x_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos20^\circ\approx9.40\,\mathrm m

y_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin20^\circ\approx3.42\,\mathrm m

and vector 2 has

x_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos80^\circ\approx1.74\,\mathrm m

y_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin80^\circ\approx9.85\,\mathrm m

Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components

x_{\rm total}\approx11.133\,\mathrm m

y_{\rm total}\approx13.268\,\mathrm m

The magnitude of the resultant is

\sqrt{{x_{\rm total}}^2+{y_{\rm total}}^2}\approx17.321\,\mathrm m

with direction \theta such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y_{\rm total}}{x_{\rm total}}\implies\theta\approx50^\circ

or about 50º N of E.

Una pelota recorre 20 m hacia la derecha y luego 10 m hacia la izquierda, todo en un lapso de tiempo de 10 s , cual es si veloci
zvonat [6]

Answer:

v = 1  i ^ m / s,   v = 1 m / s

Explanation:

In this problem we show the difference between vectors and scalars.

The average speed is

          v = Δx / Δt

The bold are vectors            

          Δx = 20-10 = 10 i^  m

           v = 10/10

           v = 1  i ^ m / s

the unit vector indicates that the velocity is on the x-axis

The average speed is

           v =Δx / Δt

           v = 10/10

           v = 1 m / s

in this case we have a scalar
