If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radia

tion must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself.

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

It is known that the population mean for the verbal section of the SAT is 500 with a standard deviation of 100. In 2006, a sampl
kvasek [131]

Answer

given,

SAT is 500 with a standard deviation of 100.

a sample of 400 students whose family income was between $70,000 and $80,000 had an average verbal SAT score of 511.

sample mean = \dfrac{standard\ deviation}{\sqrt{n}}

                      = \dfrac{100}{\sqrt{400}}

                      = 5

95% confidence level is achieved within +/- 1.960 standard deviations.

1.960 standard deviations  x  5 is equal to +/- 9.8

confidence interval = 511 - 9.8   ---  511 + 9.8

                                = 501.2-----520.8

Why does a block of plastic released under water come up to the surface of water.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

A block of plastic released under water will come up to the surface of the water because the density of the plastic is less than the density of water.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is the amount of mass a substance contains per its unit volume. It means the number of particles that can be packed into a unit space of that substance.

<h3>How does density determine whether an object will float or sink?</h3>

When an object is immersed in a liquid, it experiences two forces - gravitational force and an upward buoyant force called upthrust. If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid, gravitational force will be greater than upthrust and the object will sink, but if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, upthrust will be greater than gravitational force and the object will float. That is why a block of plastic will come up to the surface when released under water, because it is less dense than water.

How does universal gravitation affect you and objects around you?
Olegator [25]

<u>Answer</u>:

Newton proposed the "law of Universal Gravitation". He said that gravity is universal in nature and it affects all the objects. Gravity is present between you and every object having mass around you. The "Strength of the gravity" between two objects with mass is depends on the product of masses and distance between the objects.

The "Gravitational force" increases with the increase in mass of the objects and decreases with the increase in distance between the objects. The gravity exerts a force on every object. The direction of force of gravity is towards the centre of the Earth.

a large mass m1=5.75 kg and is attached to a smaller mass m2=3.53 kg by a string. The string is hung over a pulley as shown in t
svet-max [94.6K]

The speed of the second mass after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters will be 1.09 m/s approximately

<h3>What are we to consider in equilibrium ?</h3>

Whenever the friction in the pulley is negligible, the two blocks will accelerate at the same magnitude. Also, the tension at both sides will be the same.

Given that a large mass m1=5.75 kg and is attached to a smaller mass m2=3.53 kg by a string and the mass of the pulley and string are negligible compared to the other two masses. Mass 1 is started with an initial downward speed of 2.13 m/s.

The acceleration at which they will both move will be;

a = (m_{1} - m_{2}) / (m_{1} + m_{2})

a = (5.75 - 3.53) / (5.75 + 3.53)

a = 2.22 / 9.28

a = 0.24 m/s²

Let us assume that the second mass starts from rest, and the distance covered is the h = 2.47 m

We can use third equation of motion to calculate the speed of mass 2 after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters.

v² = u² + 2as

since u =0

v² = 2 × 0.24 × 2.47

v² = 1.1856

v = √1.19

v = 1.0888 m/s

Therefore, the speed of mass 2 after it has moved ℎ=2.47 meters will be 1.09 m/s approximately
