The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)

The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists. From radio waves to gamma rays, most of the light in the universe is, in fact, invisible to us! ... Another closely related property is wavelength: the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is
ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0

Solving the above equation we get

t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }

plugging the values we get

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Which of the following best describes the circuit shown below?
Rudiy27

Answer:

Short circuit

Explanation:

The given figure shows a short circuit. It is defined as the circuit which allows the flow of electric current when there is no resistance. It shows a battery, bulb and connecting wires.

The wire across the bulb is connected from one terminal to another without any resistance in between them.

So, the correct option is (d) " short circuit ".
