The lasers are red, meaning that they are giving off light in the _____ region of the electromagnetic spectrum

Softa [21]

As per the question the color of laser light is given as red.

If we arrange all the electromagnetic waves in the decreasing order of frequency ,then the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma ray as the first which is followed by all other electromagnetic waves according to their frequency.

The visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm which contains sunlight i.e white colors with it's constituent colors starting from violet to red. The red color is the longest wavelength part of the visible region.

The wavelength of visible light is longer than ultraviolet wave but smaller than infrared radiation. Except the bisible region,the color of radiation is invisible to eye.

As per the question the color of emiited laser radiation is red .Hence it must lie in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that ha

Anni [7]

Answer:

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.

From top of the first hill to the bottom

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss}$ (1)

From the bottom to the top of the second hill

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$h_{1}$ - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{1, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.

$v_{2}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.

$h_{2}$ - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{2, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.

By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:

$m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss}$ (3)

Where $W_{loss}$ is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.

If we know that $m = 175\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $h_{1} = 18\,m$ , $h_{2} = 8\,m$ and $v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the work done by non-conservative force is:

$W_{loss} = m\cdot\left[ g\cdot \left(h_{1}-h_{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2} \right]$

$W_{loss} = 6574.75\,J$

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.
