Ultraviolet light is invisible but it gets absorbed by body fluids like blood or semen and can be re-emitted as visible light. In a darkened crime scene, body fluids will show up and can be collected and analysed.

Answer:

Ultra violet detects the presence of radioactive substances. Ultra violet light causes substances to fluoresce and give off visible light.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

3.0 cm

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the yo-yo.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and tension force T pulling up 10° from the vertical.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

T cos 10° − mg = 0

T cos 10° = mg

T = mg / cos 10°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T sin 10° = ma

mg tan 10° = ma

g tan 10° = a

a = 1.73 m/s²

Draw a free body diagram of the sphere.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and air resistance D pushing up.  At terminal velocity, the acceleration is 0.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

½ ρₐ v² C A = ρᵢ V g

½ ρₐ v² C (πr²) = ρᵢ (4/3 πr³) g

3 ρₐ v² C = 8 ρᵢ r g

r = 3 ρₐ v² C / (8 ρᵢ g)

r = 3 (1.3 kg/m³) (100 m/s)² (0.47) / (8 (7874 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²))

r = 0.030 m

r = 3.0 cm

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50°C. How much thermal energy will it lose when its temperature is reduced by
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

What is the difference between a graph of linear motion and a graph of harmonic motion?
fredd [130]
Hope this helps :)

When describing linear motion, you need only one graph representing each of the three terms, while projectile motion requires a graph of the x and y axes. Graphs of simple harmonic motion are sine curves. Circular motion is different from other forms of motion because the speed of the object is constant.
