From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light, equal to:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b

daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 1.5 m

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

t = 0.553 s

Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 0.553 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

s = 110.6 m

The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m

A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 6.00 m high. If he lands 2.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initia

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position vector of the tiger is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at a time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position,

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground at the point where the tree is located so that the initial position vector will be:

r0 = (0.00, 6.00) m

We can use the equation of the vertical component of the position vector to obtain the time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

When the tiger reaches the ground, y = 0:

0 = 6.00 m - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

2 · (-6.00 m) / -9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 1.11 s

We know that in 1.11 s the tiger travels 2.00 m in the horizontal direction. Then, using the equation of the horizontal component of the position vector we can find the initial speed:

x = x0 + v0 · t

At t = 1.11 s, x = 2.00 m

x0 = 0

2.00 m = v0 · 1.11 s

2.00 m / 1.11 s = v0

v0 = 1.80 m/s

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s
