Answer:
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Force = 8 N
Mass = 2 kg
To find the acceleration of the block;
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
Answer:
v = 7.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg
The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m
We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).
Answer:
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²
Explanation:
Given:
Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²
θ = 65°
Find:
a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)
b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)
Computation:
a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2
Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²
b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)
Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²
Answer:
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Now we can analyze the 4 statements:
X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.
X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
