Physics

Answer: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation because it has the ability to travel from one type of medium to another and can also carry some energy along with it. A light wave has two components, namely the electric field component as well as the magnetic field component that are both perpendicular to the propagating direction.

The visible light lies between the ultraviolet and the infrared lights, with wavelength from 400 nm to 700 nm respectively. This is collectively known as the visible spectrum of light.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed is 99.0km/h. What is its acceleration in m/s2
Shtirlitz [24]
99.0km/h =27.5m/s (this is the initial speed)
The final speed is zero
The distance is 50.0m
Therefore you use the formula:
vfinal²=vinitial²+2ad
a=(vfinal²-vinitial²)/2d
 = (0²-27.5²)/(2x50.0)
 =-7.5625 or in correct sigdigs -7.56m/s²
Hope this helps!

Conversion fraction 1$=4q, how many are in 20$
Tom [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf 20 \$ = 80q}

Given:

1$ = 4q

To Find:

How many quarters are in 20$

Explanation:

To find out how many quarters are in 20$ we need to multiple 4 × 20.

\sf 1\$  = 4q

\sf  20\$  = 4 \times 20q

\sf = 80q

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s
