Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?

When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.

At what point in its motion is the KE of a pendulum bob a maximum? 1. The KE does not change. 2. at the lowest point 3. at the h

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2. at the lowest point

Explanation:

The motion of the pendulum is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE). This is because the mechanical energy of the pendulum, which is sum of KE and GPE, is constant:

E = KE + GPE = const.

Therefore, when KE is maximum, GPE is minimum, and viceversa.

So, the point of the motion where the KE is maximum is where the GPE is minimum: and since the GPE is directly proportional to the heigth of the bob:

$GPE=mgh$

we see that GPE is minimum when the bob is at the lowest point,so the correct answer is

2. at the lowest point

love history [14]

Answer:

All forms of energy are either kinetic or potential. The energy associated with motion is called kinetic energy . The energy associated with position is called potential energy . Potential energy is not "stored energy".

1. A car travels along a straight road to the east for 100 meters in 4 seconds, then go the west for 50 meters in 1 second.

Alla [95]

Answer:

a.Distance = 150 m

b. Displacement = 50 m

Time lapsed = 5 seconds

Explanation:

a. Distance is the change in the position of an object.

The distance covered by the car = 100 + 50

= 150 m

b. Since displacement is a vector quantity,

Displacement of the car = 100 - 50

= 50 m due east

c. Time elapsed is the time taken for the motion of the car starting from when its starts to when it stops.

Thus, the time elapsed = 4 + 1

= 5 seconds
