Why x ray is called an electromagnetic wave

1 answer:

7 0

Because they behave just like all the electromagnetic waves of the spectrum. Same equations, just shorter wavelengths and more energy.

Hope you get it :)

A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 $m/sec^2$

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}$

$0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}$

Squaring both side

$0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}$

$g=19.71=20m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 $m/sec^2$

So option (E) will be correct answer.

The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}$

The horizontal component is

$T_{x}=T\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$T_{y}=T\sin\theta$

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

$\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'$

Put the value into the formula

$0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4$

$T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200$

$T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}$

$T=658.33\ N$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

$F_{x}=T\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}$

$F_{x}=526.66\ N$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

$F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}$

$F_{y}=95.002\ N$

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2

Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

So,

$Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}$

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

$Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?

svetoff [14.1K]

There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)
