Gamma rays are the highest energy EM radiation and typically have energies greater than 100 keV, frequencies greater than 1019 Hz, and wavelengths less than 10 picometers.
Answer:
In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.
Question:
A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes
How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.
Answer:
S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes
radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes
Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)
= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes
= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s
= 5.508 × 10¹¹m
time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)
= 2100 secs
speed = distance/time
V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s
V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s
