Which electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: Gamma rays

Explanation: The given waves belong to the electromagnetic spectrum which consists of different electromagnetic radiations arranged in terms of increasing wavelengths or decreasing frequencies.

$E= h\times \nu$

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

Thus $E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

E= energy

$\nu$ = frequency

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Thus frequency and wavelength are inversely related. The waves having high energies ave high frequencies and have shorter wavelengths.

Thus gamma rays having highest energy have highest frequency and shortest wavelength.

Question 8

viktelen [127]

Answer: D(t) = $8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi }{6}.t )$

Explanation: A harmonic motion of a spring can be modeled by a sinusoidal function, which, in general, is of the form:

y = $a.sin(\omega.t)$ or y = $a.cos(\omega.t)$

where:

|a| is initil displacement

$\frac{2.\pi}{\omega}$ is period

For a Damped Harmonic Motion, i.e., when the spring doesn't bounce up and down forever, equations for displacement is:

$y=a.e^{-ct}.cos(\omega.t)$ or $y=a.e^{-ct}.sin(\omega.t)$

For this question in particular, initial displacement is maximum at 8cm, so it is used the cosine function:

$y=a.e^{-ct}.cos(\omega.t)$

period = $\frac{2.\pi}{\omega}$

12 = $\frac{2.\pi}{\omega}$

ω = $\frac{\pi}{6}$

Replacing values:

$D(t)=8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi}{6} .t)$

The equation of displacement, D(t), of a spring with damping factor is $D(t)=8.e^{-0.4t}.cos(\frac{\pi}{6} .t)$ .

A physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hol

il63 [147K]

Answer:

v = 12.1 m/s

Explanation:

When at the top of the circle, there are two forces acting on the combined mass of the rider and the motorcycle.
These are the force of gravity (downward) and the normal force, which is directed from the surface away from it, perpendicular to the surface.
In this case, as the motorcycle runs in the interior of the circle, at the top point this force is completely vertical, and is also downward.
Since the motorcycle is moving in a vertical circle, there must be a force, keeping the object moving around a circle.
This force is the centripetal force, aims towards the center of the circle, and is just the net force aiming in this direction at any point.
At the top point, this force is just the sum of the normal force and the weight of the mass of the rider and the motorcycle combined, as follows (we take the direction towards the center as positive):

$F_{c} = N + m*g (1)$

Now, we know that the centripetal force is related with the tangential speed at this point and the radius of the circle as follows:

$F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)$

Since the normal force takes any value as needed to make (1) equal to (2), if the speed diminishes, it will be needed less force to keep the equality valid.
In the limit, when the motorcyvle tires barely touch the surface, this normal force becomes zero.
In this condition, from (1) and (2), we can find the minimum possible value of the speed that still keeps the motorcycle touching the surface, as follows:
$v_{min} =\sqrt{r*g} =\sqrt{15.0m*9.8m/s2} = 12.1 m/s (3)$
