Answer:

Scientists believe that light is made of waves because experiments have shown that, based on Huygens's principle, waves have the ability to bend and change direction.

The kinetic energy of a rotating body is generally written as K=12Iω2, where I is the moment of inertia. Find the moment of iner

stira [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have a mass $m$ revolving around an axis with an angular speed $\omega$ , the distance from the axis is $r$ . We are given:

$\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]$

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

$K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ .

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

$K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $v$ is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

$v=\omega r$

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

now we have the following:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

therefore:

$mr^2=I$

then the moment of inertia will be:

$I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]$

Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basisof their speed (in vacuum). Rank from fastest to slowest. To rank items as equivale

adelina 88 [10]

Answer: On the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

Explanation:

Yellow light, Fm radio wave, Green light ,X-ray, AM radio wave and Infrared wave are all electromagnetic waves, and all electromagnetic waves move at the same vacuum speed which is the speed of light and is approximately 3.0x10^8 m/s.

They only differ in wavelength and frequency

c = λf

c (speed of light) = λ (wavelength) x f (frequency)

Therefore; on the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

Sitting in a chairlift, Rebecca has a gravitational potential energy of 5,997.6

stira [4]

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m
