Answer:

Radio Waves

Explanation:

Radio wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation notorious for their use in technologies used for communication like air traffic control, mobile phones, televisions and remote-controlled toys. Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum and are easily transmitted through air.

A radar gun uses radio waves to tell how far away an object is. To do that, the radar tool emits a focused radio wave and listens for any echo. If there is an item, say a car within the route of the radio wave, it's going to replicate some of the electromagnetic energy, and the radio wave will return to the radar gun. Radio waves flow via the air at a steady pace, so the radar gun can calculate how far the object is based totally on how long it takes the radio signal to return.

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is  KE = 0.0543 J

b The height of the center of mass above that position is  h = 1.372 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L = 1.4m

   The mass of the rod m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg  

   The angular speed at the lowest point is w = 1.09 \ rad/s

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

                   I = \frac{mL^2}{3}  

Substituting values

               I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}

               I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2

Generally the  kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

             KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2

                           KE = 0.0543 J

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion =  The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

   Therefore

                   KE = PE = mgh

                        0.0543 = mgh

                             h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}

                                h = 1.372 \ m

A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the
Marrrta [24]

Our values can be defined like this,

m = 65kg

v = 3.5m / s

d = 0.55m

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

W = \Delta KE

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2

So,

Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2

Clearing F,

F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}

Replacing the values

F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}

F = 723.9N

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Complete Question

Red blood cells can be modeled as spheres of 6.53 μm diameter with −2.55×10−12 C excess charge uniformly distributed over the surface. Find the electric field at the following locations, with radially outward defined as the positive direction and radially inward defined as the negative direction. The permittivity of free space ????0 is 8.85×10−12 C/(V⋅m). What is the electric field

E⃗ 1 inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center?

E⃗ 2 Just inside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 3 Just outside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 4 At a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface

Answer:

E⃗ 1

      0 V/m

E⃗ 2

      0 V/m

E⃗ 3

         E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

E⃗ 4

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is d =  6.53 \mu m  = 6.53*10^{-6}\  m

The charge is Q =  -.2.55 *10^{-12} \  C

The permittivity of free space is \epsilon_o  =  8.85* 10^{-12}\  C / V.m

The distance considered is d =  3.05 \mu m  =  3.05 *10^{-6} \ m

Generally the electric field inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center is

0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just inside the surface of the cell is 0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just outside the cell is mathematically represented as

E_3 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ r^2 }

Here k is the coulomb constant with value

k  =   9*10^{9}\ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}

r is the radius of the sphere which is mathematically as

r =  \frac{d}{2} =   \frac{6.53*10^{-6}}{2}  = 3.265 *10^{-6} \  m

E_3 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [3.265 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

Generally the electric field at a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface is mathematically represented as

E_4 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ R^2 }

Here R is mathematically represented as

R  =  3.265 *10^{-6} +  3.05 *10^{-6}

=>       R  =  6.315 *10^{-6}

So

E_4 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [ 6.315 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m

Starburst galaxies:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Habitat manipulation

Explanation:

Habitat manipulation, otherwise known as ecological engineering, is a technique of promoting natural enemies within an ecosystem by making thriving conditions more suitable for them.

<em>In this case, thriving conditions for the species (which happens to be predators and hence, natural enemies) were promoted via artificial introduction of food. </em>
