Answer:

a. Microwaves—3 and infrared waves—1

Explanation:

Microwaves and infrared waves are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but they have different frequency and wavelength.

In particular:

- Microwaves are long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, with wavelength between 1 mm and 1 m. Their wavelength is longer than visible light

- Infrared waves are also long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, but their wavelength is shorter than microwaves: between 700 nm and 1 mm. Their wavelength is also longer than visible light.

The two types of waves are also used for different purposes. In particular:

- Infrared waves are emitted by any hot object, and their intensity depends on the temperature of the object. Therefore, they are used in astronomy to show the heat released by astronomical objects (option 1)

- Microwaves are used to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is electromagnetic radiation that permeates the whole universe, and its wavelength depends inversely on the local temperature. Therefore, areas with longer wavelength have lower temperature, and viceversa. Therefore, microwaves are used to measure temperature differences in space (option 3).

An astronaut floating in space throws a wrench forward with the force of 10 N.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

1. Every Action has an equal and opposite reAction.

2. If 10N of force is acted upon an wrench, then the wrench will react with an equal amount of force, but in the opposite direction.

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm

Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?

Eddi Din [679]

The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gent

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s
