What is the difference between visible light and x rays

Physics
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: X rays are high energy electromagnetic waves, but visible light is medium energy electromagnetic waves.

The visible spectrum is very narrow compared to the X-ray spectrum.

X rays can penetrate the human body but visible light is not capable of doing that. Hope this helped! :)

A 4.0 kg box is released from rest on a frictionless ramp. The box slides from the ramp onto a rough horizontal
muminat

Answer:

Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp.  This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.

Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Ep=mgh

Ep=4(9.81)5

Ep=196.2 Joules

Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.

By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.

196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)

392.4=(350)(x^2)

1.1211=x^2

sqrt(1.1211)=x

x=1.059m

As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.

When you see Marjorie, she is swinging a bucket of water around in a circle. The speed of the bucket of water does not change as
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Since the bucket of water  is constantly in motion it implies a force must be acting on it which allows it to change its Position constantly.

A constant gravity Force must be acting on water . In addition to gravity force a centripetal force must be acting on the water inside the bucket.

Bucket must move with certain velocity in order to avoid spilling of water.

An object floats in liquid of density 1.2×10kgm/3 with one quarter of its volume above the liquid surface. Determine the density
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

900 kg/m³

Explanation:

There are two forces on the object: weight and buoyancy.

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

B − W = 0

B = W

Weight is mass times gravity:

W = m₀ g

Mass is density times volume:

W = ρ₀ V₀ g

Buoyancy force is equal to the weight of displaced fluid:

B = ρ V g

Therefore:

ρ V g = ρ₀ V₀ g

ρ V = ρ₀ V₀

ρ₀ = ρ V / V₀

One quarter of the object's volume is above the liquid, which means three quarters of its volume is below the surface.

Given that V = ¾ V₀ and ρ = 1200 kg/m³:

ρ₀ = 1200 (3/4)

ρ₀ = 900 kg/m³

The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, isvery unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particle
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

36.82304 N

5.54204\times 10^{27}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

k = Coulomb's constant = 8.99\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

m = Mass of alpha particles = 4.0026\times 1.66\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Charge on alpha particle is given by

q=2e

The force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{(5\times 10^{-15})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=36.82304\ N

The force between the two alpha particles are 36.82304 N

Acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{36.82304}{4.0026\times 1.66\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=5.54204\times 10^{27}\ m/s^2

Magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force is given by 5.54204\times 10^{27}\ m/s^2
