Answer:

B.electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is used to describe all of the wavelengths of light waves.Generally wavelength of the wave is denoted by λ.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crest .Wavelength of the red color is minimum and wavelength of the violet color is maximum in the light spectrum.

So the answer is B.

Electromagnetic spectrum

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.0 vibrations

Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.47 m

Explanation:

$N$ = Number of vibrations = 37

$t$ = total time taken = 33 s

$T$ = time period of each vibration

frequency of vibration is given as

$f = \frac{N}{t} \\f = \frac{37}{33} \\f = 1.12$ Hz

$d$ = distance traveled along the rope = 421 cm = 4.21 m

$t$ = time taken to travel the distance = 8 s

$v$ = speed of the wave

Speed of the wave is given as

$v = \frac{d}{t}\\v = \frac{4.21}{8}\\v = 0.53 ms^{-1}$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the harmonic wave

wavelength of the harmonic wave is given as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\lambda = \frac{0.53}{1.12} \\\lambda = 0.47 m$

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an

pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%
