Having successfully ransomed a nearby city with her rail gun, Prof. Marcia Grail is looking for new and exciting ways to wreck s

cience based havok for profit. She constructs a device capable of creating a constant intensity of electromagnetic radiation of any frequency over a circular space of radius 50cm. In order to do the most damage to biological systems (e.g. make those filthy normal humans pay), what type of electromagnetic wave does she need to set the device for

Answer:

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are waves that do not require material medium for their propagation, and they travel at the same velocity. When these waves are arranged with respect to increasing frequency or decreasing wavelength, it forms a spectrum.

Since Prof. Marcia Grail's device can create an electromagnetic radiation of any frequency, the appropriate radiation to achieve her goal would be gamma radiation.

Gamma radiation is a high penetrating radiation with lethal effects on exposed biological molecules, causing induction of cancer and genetic mutations even at low level.

A 5592 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.79 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 30.1 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
otez555 [7]

Answer:

10628.87 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Force applied =F=5592 N

\theta=30.1^{\circ}

Displacement=D=3.79 m

We have to find the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate.

Work done=F\times displacement

The perpendicular component of force=FSin\theta=5592sin(30.1)=2804.45N

Work done =Fsin\theta\times D=2804.45\times 3.79=10628.87 J

Hence, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate=10628.87 J

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/
velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

 To get the  true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

 which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

 

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,   P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

 

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector.  To get the coordinates of these two vectors,  use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.

Answer:

SKID

Explanation:

In general, airplane tracks are flat, they do not have cant, consequently the friction force is what keeps the bicycle in the circle.

Let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.

Y axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = W

X axis (radial)

        fr = m a

the acceleration in the curve is centripetal

         a = \frac{v^2}{r}

the friction force has the expression

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ mg = m v²/r

       v = \sqrt{\mu g r}

we calculate

      v = \sqrt{0.1 \ 9.8 \ 3}

      v = 1,715 m / s

to compare with the cyclist's speed let's reduce to the SI system

        v₀ = 18 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m / s

We can see that the speed that the cyclist is carrying is greater than the speed that the curve can take, therefore the cyclist will SKID

How often is water added to the Earth system?
rosijanka [135]
<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
