Which sentence best describes the axis of rotation of Earth?

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you think is most important and why?

KonstantinChe [14]

Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, ...

The electromagnetic spectrum is a map of all the types of light that we can identify. It separates all the types of light by wavelength because that directly relates to how energetic the wave is. More energetic wave

For most of history, visible light was the only known part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The ancient Greeks recognized that light traveled in straight lines and studied some of its properties, including reflection

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz

Lilit [14]

The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0m/s across a level table that is 1.0m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table it fo

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:0.58 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is u = 2.0 m/s

The height of the table is, h = 1.0 m

The ball falls in vertical direction under acceleration due to gravity.

Time taken for ball to hit the floor:

h= ut + 0.5gt² ( from the equation of motion)

1.0 m=2.0 m/s × t+0.5 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

Solving this for t,

t = 0.29 s ( we have neglected the negative value of t)

In the same time, the ball would cover a horizontal distance of :

s = u t

⇒s = 2.0 m/s×0.29 s = 0.58 m

Thus, the landing spot is 0.58 m away from the table.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, $\lambda=145\ m$

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz$

The time period of the wave is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s$

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

$T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s$

Hence, this is the required solution.
