Answer:

Visible waves can be seen by people.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves comprises of different kind of waves. It consists of cosmic waves, x-rays waves, gamma waves, ultra violet waves, visible waves, infrared waves, microwaves. Among these waves, depending upon the wavelength of each kind of waves, it is visible and invisible to naked eyes. Thus, visible waves are the one which can be seen by people in naked eyes. As the wavelength of these waves are in comparable to the eye sight, so it can be seen by people.

Once the crate in sample problem 4C is in motion, a horizontal force of 53 N keeps the crate moving with a constant velocity. Fi
liraira [26]

Answer: k = 5.4kg/m

where m is the mass of the crate.

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction is described by the equation:

Ff = k*N

in the opposite direction in wich the object moves, where k is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force, that is equal to the weight of the crate. N = m*g where m is the mass of the crate and g is the gravitational acceleration.

If the crate keeps moving with constant velocity, this means that the crate is not accelerating so there is no net force applied on the crate. Then the friction force should be equal in magnitude to the horizontal force of 53N (but with different sign)

then we have:

k*m*g =  53N

k*m = 53N/9.8m/s^2 = 5.4kg

k = 5.4kg/m

In the question we do not have the mass of the crate, so you must put the value in that equation to get the value of k.

NeTakaya

Answer:

Force of static friction between the two surfaces

Explanation:

When two surfaces come into contact, they exert a force that resist the sliding of the two surfaces. This force is called static friction.

This force is given by the relation

                                       F_{s}=\mu_{s}\eta

Where,

                             μ - coefficient of static friction

                             η - normal force acting on the body

When a force acts on a body placed on a rough surface, it doesn't do any work if the applied force was less than the force of static friction.

So, in order to move the body, the applied force should be greater than the force of static friction.

Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy s
disa [49]
The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

As you sit in a fishing boat, you noticed that 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds . If the distance from one crest to the n
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.1835m/s

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;

v = fλ

f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,

number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves

Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz

λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave

λ = 0.5m

Substitute the given values into the formula

v = fλ

v = 0.367 * 0.5

v = 0.1835

Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s
