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.

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

How is thermal energy naturally transferred between objects?
Sladkaya [172]

The second law of thermodynamics establishes restrictions on the flow of thermal energy between two bodies. This law states that the energy does not flow spontaneously from a low temperature object T1, to another object that is at a high temperature T2.

For example. Suppose you place your cell phone on the table. Your phone is at a temperature of 40 ° C and the table is at 19 ° C. Then, it is impossible for the table to spontaneously transfer its thermal energy to the telephone, and so that the table gets colder and the telephone warmer.


Finally we can say that the correct option is B: From the hotter object to the cooler object

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F  is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction.  q  is the charge of the particle.  v  is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction.  B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd.  Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

                                                  ∮B dl=μ0 I

                                                  B ∮dl=μ0 I

                                                  B 2πr=μ0 I

                                                   B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

                                               dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.
