Answer:

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays is at the end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and has the highest energy. It propagates through space at 3x10^8 m/s and has the smallest wavelength and the highest frequency. It is given off by atoms of element as they undergo nuclear disintegration.

Answer:

Gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are waves which do not require material medium for their propagation and they are arranged in electromagnetic spectrum according to their increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength or decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength.

Examples of Electromagnetic radiations, in terms of decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength:

Gamma rays > x-ray > ultraviolet ray > visible light > infrared > micro waves > radio waves

Energy of wave is related to frequency using the following formula:

E = hf

where:

h is Planck's constant and

f is frequency of the wave

From the illustration above, gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 2
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the length of stretched spring  in cm is 22

Explanation:

given information:

spring length, x1 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

force, F = 100 N

the length of spring streches, x2 = 22 cm = 0.22 m

According to Hooke's law

F = - kΔx

k = F/*=(x2-x1)

  = 100/(0.22 - 0.20)

  = 5000 N/m

if the spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end

m = 10.2 kg

W = m g

    = 10.2 x 9.8

    = 99.96 N

F = - k Δx

Δx = F / k

     = 99.96 / 5000

     = 0.02

Δx = x2- x1

x2 = Δx + x1

    = 0.20 + 0.02

    = 0.22 m

     = 22 cm

How do you calculate acceleration
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time in seconds.

a= ∆v / t = vf - vi / t

Explanation: change in velocity or ∆v can be expressed as (vf - vi)

How does the period affects the centripetal force?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:According to the Equation (2), centripetal force is proportional to the square of the speed for an object of given mass M rotating in a given radius R.

Explanation:The Period T. The time T required for one complete revolution is called the period. For. constant speed. v = 2π r T holds.
