Answer:

Electromagnetic Radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is formed by the combination of electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space in the form of energy-carrying waves.

Electromagnetic waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For this reason, they are classified among the transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves travel through space, and do not need a material medium to propagate.

Main types of electromagnetic radiation.

Gamma rays: More energetic radiation. It has the highest frequency (and therefore, the shortest wavelength). They constitute a form of radioactivity.

X-rays: Radiation of less energy than gamma rays. It is used in medical examinations and in the study of metals.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays: Radiation of less energy than X-rays. It comes mainly from the sun.

Visible radiation: Radiation of lower energy than ultraviolet rays. Collect the range of frequencies that can be perceived with the view, from red to violet.

Infrared rays (IR): Radiation of less energy than visible radiation. It is emitted by hot bodies.

Microwave: Radiation of less energy than infrared. It is used in appliances and medical therapy.

TV and radio waves: Less energetic radiation. They are used in telecommunications

By what factor must we increase the amplitude of vibration of an object at the end of a spring in order to double its maximum sp

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$A'=2A$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\E=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}$

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is $x=0$ , the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

$\frac{k(0)^2}{2}+\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\A^2=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}$

In order to double its maximum speed, that is $v'{max}=2v_{max}$ . We have:

$A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(v'_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(2v_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{4mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2A$

A man applies a force of 100 Newtons to a rock for 60 seconds, but the rock does not not move. What is the amount of work done b

frozen [14]

Well if the rock doesn't move, then there is no amount of work done. There is no work done on an object if a force is applied to the object but it DOES NOT change its position, in this case is the rock.
