What is the ultimate source of electromagnetic waves?
storchak [24]
The ultimate source of electromagnetic waves are the radio sets. The answer is letter C. <span>One example of an electromagnetic radiation is the visible light. And visible light can be radio waves, infrared light and X - rays. The rays of the sun are a form of visible light. It has an electromagnetic radiation of UV (ultra violet) rays. That is why the radiation at day is greater than at day due to sun’s rays.</span>

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas

A sample contains radioactive atoms of two types, A and B. Initially there are five times as many A atoms as there are B atoms.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially no of atoms of A = N₀(A)

Initially no of atoms of B = N₀(B)

5 X N₀(A)  = N₀(B)

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

N is no of atoms after time t , λ is decay constant and t is time .

For A

N(A) = N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t}

For B

N(B) = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A) = N(B) , for t = 2 h

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5 x N₀(A)  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

half life = .693 / λ

For A

.77 =  .693 / λ₁

λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

Putting t = 2 h , λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 5  e^{.9\times  2}

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 30.25

2 x λ₂ = 3.41

λ₂ = 1.7047

Half life of B = .693 / 1.7047

= .4065 hours .

= .41 hours .

If a bird collides with the windshield of a fast-moving bus, Which one experiences and impact force with larger magnitude? Which
Ugo [173]
Both of them experience the same force in magnitude due to newtons third law. however, the one with the smallest mass experiences the greater acceleration due to newtons second law (F=ma) in which a=F/m
