Gravity

Explanation: ree fall is a special type of motion in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity. Objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering a significant force of air resistance; they are falling under the sole influence of gravity.

adell [148]

Answer:

A. Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have shorter wavelengths.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the interaction between both magnetic and electric fields. These waves have some properties that make them to be arranged in a definite form producing an electromagnetic spectrum.

The spectrum has a general property of which as the wavelength of the waves increases, the frequency decreases. And vice versa.

Thus, the energy of the waves increases as the frequency increases.

Gamma rays have higher frequency, but shorter wavelength. While microwaves has lower frequency, but higher wavelength.

Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}

Oscilloscope amplitude and frequency problem. Study the above graph. The volts/div dial is set to 2 volts/div and the time/div d
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Amplitude = 8 Volts

Frequency = 0.067 kHz

Explanation:

Note: The missing picture in question is attached for your review.

Given:

Volts/Div = 2 V/div

Time/Div = 5 msec/div

Finding Amplitude:

Now, as you can see in the attached picture, there are 4 division between two peaks of the waveform, so,

Amplitude = 4 div/volts * 2 volts/ div )\\Amplitude = 8 Volts

(Multiplying by 2 V/div because oscilloscope dial is set at 2 V/div)

Finding Frequency:

As can be seen in attached picture, 3 division are there for one complete cycle of waveform,so,

Time Period = 3 div * 5msec /div\\Time Perod = 15 msec

Since,

Frequency = \frac{1}{Time Period}\\Frequency = \frac{1}{15m}\\Frequency = 0.067 kHz
