Answer:

Frequency, f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of the x-rays, \lambda=0.13\ nm=0.13\times 10^{-9}\ m

We need to find the frequency of an x-ray. All electromagnetic wave travel with a speed of light. It is given by the formula as :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.13\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

So, the frequency of an x-ray is 2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up
drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.


2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.

Mirrors produce images by doing which of the following to light?
Gemiola [76]

Answer: C

Reflection

Explanation: Light travels in a straight line. Reflection is one of the properties of light. And this is the property in which mirror make use of. The ability of light to bounce back. It's this bouncing back characteristics of light ray that eventually produce the image of an object by the mirror.

If the light ray is absorbed, no image will be produced.

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

  • We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
  • At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

       v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)

  • If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

       H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)

  • We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

        v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)

  • In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
  • When we replace these values in (1), we find that  v₁ = -v₀.
  • Replacing in (3), we have:

        (4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2}  = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2}  = 2*g*D

  • Solving for  D:

       D = \frac{15*v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}

  • From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:

       H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}

  • ⇒ D = 15 * H

        \frac{D}{H} = 15

A circle has an initial radius of 50ft when the radius begins decreasing at a rate of 2ft/s. what is the rate of change of the a
valkas [14]
The area of the circle with radius r is
A = πr²

The rate of change of area with respect to time is
\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} . \frac{dr}{dt} =2 \pi r. \frac{dr}{dt}

The rate of change of the radius is given as
\frac{dr}{dt} =-2 \,  \frac{ft}{s}
Therefore
\frac{dA}{dt} =-4 \pi r \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

When r = 10 ft, obtain
\frac{dA}{dt}|_{r=10 \, ft} = -40 \pi  \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

Answer: - 40π ft²/s (or - 127.5 ft²/s)
