<h2>Right answer: infrared waves</h2>

Any body or object that has a temperature above absolute zero (0 Kelvin) emits infrared radiation (IR).

This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).

Infrared waves can be divided into:

- Near infrared or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.

- Medium or medium wave infrared: it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.

- Far infrared or short wave infrared: it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.

It should be noted that infrared rays only cause an effect if they are absorbed. When this happens they become in thermal energy (heat).

IR light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

14. a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a. how much later does the ball
Burka [1]

The time taken to hit the ground is 3.9 s, the range is 18m and the final velocity is 42.82 m/s

<h3>Motion Under Gravity</h3>

The motion of an object under gravity is the vertical motion of the object under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s.

a. how much later does the ball hit the ground?

The time can be calculated by considering the vertical component of the motion with the use of formula below.

h = ut + 1/2gt²

Where

  • Height h = 75 m
  • Initial velocity u = 0 ( vertical velocity )
  • Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time t = ?

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

75 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t²

75 = 4.9t²

t² = 75/4.9

t² = 15.30

t = √15.3

t = 3.9 s

b. how far from the building will it land?

The range can be found by using the formula

R = ut

Where u = 4.6 m/s ( horizontal velocity )

R = 4.6 × 3.9

R = 18 m

c. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The final velocity will be

v = u + gt

v = 4.6 + 9.8 × 3.9

v = 4.6 + 38.22

v = 42.82 m/s

Therefore, the answers are 3.9 s, 18 m and 42.82 m/s

The bob of a pendulum swings back and forth with a total mechanical energy of 300 J. What is the kinetic energy of the bob when
zhenek [66]

at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the bob at any point of its motion is given by

E=KE+PE

Where

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, where

m is the mass of the bob

v is its speed

PE=mgh is the gravitational potential energy, where

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the bob, measured with respect to the lowest point of the trajector

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy E remains constant. So we have:

- When the bob swings upward, the PE increases (because h increases) and the KE decreases (so the speed decreases). At the highest point in the trajector, the speed of the bob is zero (v=0), so its KE is also zero and all the mechanical energy is potential energy: U = 300 J

- When the bob swings downward, the PE decreases (because h decreases) and the KE increases (so the speed increases). At the lowest point in the trajectory, the height has become zero (h=0), so the PE is zero and all the mechanical energy is kinetic energy: KE = 300 J

Therefore, at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.
