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).

A force of 880 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 55 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially

zysi [14]

Answer:

x(t) = -8sin2t

Explanation:

See the attachment for solution

From my solving, we can deduce that w² = 4, and thus, w = 2

Therefore, the general solution is

x(t) = c1 cos2t + c2 sin2t

Considering the final variable, we can conclude that

x(0) = 0

x'(0) = -8 m/s

The final solution, thus

x(t) = -8sin2t

A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3 , undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ

Explanation:

For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

$W=p(V_f -V_i)$

where in this case we have:

$p = 2 bar = 2\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the pressure

$V_i = 0.1 m^3$ is the initial volume

$V_f = 0.12 m^3$ is the final volume

Substituting,

$W=(2\cdot 10^5)(0.12-0.10)=4000 J = 4.0 kJ$

The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed by the gas

Here we know that

$\Delta U = +0.25 kJ$

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:

$Q=\Delta U + W = 0.25 kJ + 4.0 kJ = 4.25 kJ$

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.

IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.
