X-rays with high photon energies (above 5–10keV, below 0.2–0.1nm wavelength) are called hard X-rays, while those with lower energy (and longer wavelength) are called soft X-rays. Due to their penetrating ability, hard X-rays are widely used to image the inside of objects, e.g., in medical radiography and airport security. By contrast, soft X-rays are easily absorbed in air; the attenuation length of 600 eV (~2nm) X-rays in water is less than 1 micrometer.

hope this helps

<span>3. The attempt at a solution So basically what I did was divided into components. x: (3)(2000) = (3000)*v_x y: (v_vw)*(10000) = (3000)*v_y v_x, v_y is the velocity (after collision) in the x and y direction, respectively, of both cars stuck together (since it is an inelastic collision). v_vw is the initial velocity of the Volkswagen. Now what I did was that the angle is 35 degrees north of east. So basically made a triangle and figured that tan(35) = (v_y)/(v_x). This means (v_x)*(tan35) = v_y. Then, I simplified the component equations to get: x: 2 = v_x y: v_vw = 3*v_y Then plugging in for v_y, I got: v_vw = 3(2)(tan35) = 4.2 m/s as the velocity of the volkswagen. However, the answer key says 8.6 m/s. Could someone please help me out? Thanks Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org • Game over?

Why does a plane move even when the wind is pushing against it?
boyakko [2]
A plane has more mass in it. Also, the engine is very strong which it makes the plane able to push through the wind. When the wind is pushing, it goes by it because of the engine.

You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.
