Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:  

                                       λ = \frac{v}{f}

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the constant speed and f is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than 10^{19} Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

                                           (i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

Can a magnet attract a pure substance?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Magnets strongly attract materials  which already themselves have magnetic domains. They do not significantly attract many metals like gold, aluminum, silver, and even some types of high-chromium stainless-steel, which lack such domains. In fact, pure gold is slightly repelled.

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground
