Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.

A tennis ball with a speed of 25.9 m/s is moving perpendicular to a wall. After striking the wall,

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$-3550.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is

u = +25.9 m/s (towards the wall)

while the final velocity of the ball is

v = -21.3157 m/s (away from the wall)

The time taken for the change in velocity to occur is

t = 0.0133 s

The acceleration can be calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substituting the numbers, we find:

$a=\frac{-21.3157-25.9}{0.0133}=-3550.1 m/s^2$

What we see as "moonlight" is really reflected sunlight. True or False?

uysha [10]

Yes, this is true. The only celestial body in the Milky Way universe that produces light is the Sun. It is the sole source of light for all the other planets and satellites. Our moon only 'borrows' light from the Sun. The surface of the moon acts as the mirror at which the Sun's light is reflected.

At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.30 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is

Triss [41]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Suppose, A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 50.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal.

Given that,

Mass of steel block = 2.30 kg

Mass of ball = 0.500 kg

Length of cord = 50.0 cm

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl$

$v=\sqrt{2gl}$

Put the value into the formula

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times50.0\times10^{-2}}$

$u=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the ball $u_{1}=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the block $u_{2}=0$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the ball after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{2m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{0.5-2.30}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13$

$v_{1}=-2.01\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of initial direction.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the block after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2\times0.5}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13+0$

$v_{2}=1.11\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.
