X-rays are electromagnetic waves. Like any other electromagnetic waves, they are transverse waves, and travel at the speed of light.

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

A building is being knocked down with a wrecking ball, which is a big metal sphere that swings on a 15-m-long cable. You are (un
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

1.9 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of cable=l=15 m

We have to find the time you have to move out of the way.

We know that

Time period,T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where g=9.8m/s^2

By using the formula

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{15}{9.8}}

T=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{15}{9.8}}=7.77 s

Time you have to move out

t=\frac{T}{4}=\frac{7.77}{4}=1.9 s

Hence,time you have to move out of the way=7.77 s

How does the mass of an object affect the gravitational forces experienced by another object?.
Leviafan [203]

Explanation:

F=(Gmm)/(r^2)

larger the mass stronger the force. An object with a large mass will produce a large force. A small mass will produce a small force.

What happens to kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass
Studentka2010 [4]

Before we start thinking about the snowball, we need to remind
each other that energy is "conserved".  That means that if you
ever see energy decrease in one place, then the missing amount
must have gone somewhere, and if you ever see energy increase
in one place, then the energy that appeared must have come from
somewhere.  Energy does not magically appear or disappear. 

So you toss a snowball out of your hand.  As you let it go, you give
it some kinetic energy, and it starts rolling along the ground.

Once you let go of it, it can't get any more energy (unless it has
some kind of little tiny engine inside it).

     Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

and that amount can't change.

So if extra snow sticks to it as it merrily rolls along, and its mass
increases, then it must slow down.
