A decrease in the magnitude of the velocity is called

1 answer:

3 0

That's one of the three changes that are called "acceleration".

The other two are:

-- increase in the magnitude

-- change in direction.

Some might call a decrease in the magnitude "deceleration".

What is an neutral atom?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.

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

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

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

$:\implies$ Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

$:\implies$ 50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

$:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = \dfrac{50\;N}{10\;kg}}$

$:\implies$ Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.
