Answer:

No

Explanation:

Are the divisions of the electromagnetic spectrum distinct?

The answer is NO.

To explain my answer, there are some points to be noted

1.) There are no clear divisions between the different ranges or bands in the electromagnetic spectrum. The divisions are somewhat arbitrary

2.) The naming of subdivisions is also arbitrary. For instance, microwaves are sometimes regarded as a subdivision of radio waves

3.) The ranges of x-ray and gamma ray overlaps

A book weighing 5 N rests on top of a table. 1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler
Fed [463]

Answer:

9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between the tissue and the tip of the scale, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Charge on the ruler, Q = - 12 μC = - 12 × 10⁻⁶ C

Mass of the tissue = 3 g = 0.003 Kg

Now,

The force required to pick the tissue, F = mg

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

also,

The force between (F) the charges is given as:

F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

where,

q is the charge on the tissue

k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

thus,

mg=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

on substituting the respective values, we get

0.003\times9.81=\frac{9\times10^9\times(-12\times10^{-6})\times q}{0.06^2}

or

q = 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Minimum charge required to pick the tissue paper is 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Astronauts are trained for take-off in a high-speed centrifuge of 4.7 m radius that spins in the horizontal plane.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a) 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}

b) 9.12\frac{m}{s}

c) Towards the center of the centrifuge

Explanation:

a)

Becuse the centrifuge rotates in circular motion, there's an angular acceleration tha simulates high gravity accelerations

a_{rad}=\omega r^{2}

with r the radius and ω the amgular velocity, in or case a_rad=3.5g so:

3.5g=\omega r^{2} and g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}

solving for ω:

\omega=\frac{3.5g}{r^2}=\frac{3.5*9.8}{4.2^2}

\omega = 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}

b) Linear speed (v) and angular speed are related by:

v=\omega r =(1.94)(4.7)

v= 9.12\frac{m}{s}

c) The apparent weigth is pointing towards the center of the circle, becuse angular acceleration is pointing in that direction.
