Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.

72.0-kg person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface of the door. The doorknob is locat
expeople1 [14]

Answer:I=2 kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

mass m=72 kg

Force F=5 N

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door \alpha =2 rad/s^2

Torque T=I\alpha =F\times r

where I=moment of inertia

5\times 0.8=I\times 2

I=2 kg-m^2

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}

The formula describing vertical distance is:

y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2

hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)

hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass
o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

  • The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
  • It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
  • Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
