Gamma radiations do not reach the surface of the Earth

Explanation:

Sun radiates all of these radiations but one of them does not reach the surface of the Earth. Most of the radiation switch reaching the Earth's surface are visible and infrared radiations.

How does Kepler's first law refine the Copernican model?

AnnZ [28]

Copernicus's model states that the sun is in the center, and that the planets move around it in a circle. Kepler's first law of planetary motion says that they move around the sun in an ellipse.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?

kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²

where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.

The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh

The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.

The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2

Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.

klio [65]

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
$c=f \lambda$
where
f is the frequency
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
$c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is $f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}$ , so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}= 2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m$

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r; system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r; system C has mas

Anna [14]

Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

$F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B
