Answer:

These waves have wavelengths longer than those of visible light: Infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves .

Infrared radiation transmit heat from the Sun, fires and radiators.

Microwaves are used in cooking, radar and telephones.

Radio waves are used to broadcast radio and television.

A 975-kg elevator accelerates upward at 0.754 m/s2, pulled by a cable of negligible mass. Find the tension force in the cable.

Zina [86]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.

According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So

$\sum F = ma$

$T-mg = ma$

Here,

T = Tension

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

a = Acceleration (upward)

Rearranging to find T,

$T = m(g+a)$

$T = (975)(9.8+0.754)$

$T= 10290.15N$

Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N

Suppose that a spring with a larger spring constant was used in this same apparatus. If a given mass were rotated at the same ra

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring

Explanation:

Generally the period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k} }$

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and k is the spring constant

Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser

You are camping with two friends, Joe and Karl. Since all three of you like your privacy, you don't pitch your tents close toget

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

35.7 m

Explanation:

Let

$\mid A\mid=18.5 m$

$\mid B\mid=41 m$

We have to find the distance between Joe's and Karl'e tent.

$A_x=Acos\theta$

$A_y=Asin\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$A_x=18.5cos23^{\circ}=17 m$

$A_y=18.5sin 23^{\circ}=7.2 m$

$B_x=41cos37.5^{\circ}=32.5 m$

$B_y=41sin37.5^{\circ}=-24.96 m$

Because vertical component of B lie in IV quadrant and y-inIV quadrant is negative.

By triangle addition of vector

$B=A+C$

$C=B-A$

$C_x=B_x-A_x=32.5-17=15.5 m$

$C_y=B_y-A_y=-24.96-7.2=-32.16\approx=-32.2 m$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{C^2_x+C^2_y}$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{(15.5)^2+(-32.2)^2}=35.7 m$

Hence, the distance between Joe's and Karl's tent=35.7 m

The ransom note in the Lindbergh kidnapping case included some obvious spelling errors and other foreign and regional language.

Dimas [21]

Answer: The FBI used a technique which is called Latent Fingerprint Identification: a silver nitrate solution was used to cause a reaction of the unseen fingerprints perspiration left by the kidnappers all over the ransom notes. The reaction caused the perspiration to turn into silver chloride. This substance is white and it is also visible to the naked eye which means the fingerprints of the perpetrators were easily identifiable.

sorry if this is wrong, i hope i helped
