<span>UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy causing exposure to UV waves in sunlight to skin cancer. This is a type of electromagnetic radiation similar to the waves of the radio, infrared, x-rays and gamma. All of which comes from the sun however cannot be seen by a human eye. People use these rays for tanning however if it is overdone, it may cause skin problems.</span>

The correct answer is
<span>B) UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy. 

In fact, UV waves have higher frequency than visible light. For comparison, visible light has frequency in the range 430-770 THz (</span>10^{12} Hz)<span>, while ultraviolets (UV) have frequency higher than these values (at the order of 1 PHz, </span>1\cdot 10^{15}Hz).

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is proportional to its frequency, according to the equation
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy, so UV waves carry more energy than visible light.

A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a
vovikov84 [41]

This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

  • K.E = Kinetic energy
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.

If two persons do the same amount of work , they may have different power ? why ? ​
iris [78.8K]

Hey there mate :)

Even if two persons are given the same work load, the speed of the work done gets different by the energy of those persons.

No one is sure that he/she can complete the work within the time. He may or may not.

Also, the physical characteristics makes the work different. If one person has so much power to work all day, the other person may not have.

Therefore, <em>even if two persons do the same amount of work , they may have different power</em><em>.</em>

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.375 g is the final amount of the material  

A_{o}=3 g is the initial amount of the material  

t=1 h is the time elapsed  

H is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)  

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find h from (1):

0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (2)  

\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}}) (4)  

-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2) (5)  

Clearing H:

H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693) (6)  

Finally:

h=0.333 h This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope
