Answer:
12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:
s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer
u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)
v is the final velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
Answer:
Radio waves
Explanation:
The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:
- Gamma rays
- X-rays
- Ultraviolet
- Visible light
- Infrared radiation
- Microwaves
- Radio waves
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (
) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
Fire Service Day
International Firefighters' Day (IFFD) is observed on May 4. It was instituted after a proposal was emailed out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five firefighters in tragic circumstances in a bushfire in Australia.
Answer:
Explanation:
No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226
N = 2.66 x 10²¹
disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life
half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s
disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰
radioactivity dn / dt = λN
= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ ) x 2.66 x 10²¹
= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec
= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s
