Explanation:

 A burning candle emits radiation in the form of heat and light. The Sun emits radiation in the form of light, heat, and particles.

Answer: The energy from the sun is one great example of radiation. The sun emits light in a broad range of wavelengths which all contain energy. These waves are also discussed in the climate section for energy balance. The waves are emitted from the sun and travel through space and hit the earth and other planets.

EXTRA EXAMPLES: heat from a stove burner.

visible light from a candle.

x-rays from an x-ray machine.

alpha particles emitted from the radioactive decay of uranium.

sound waves from your stereo.

microwaves from a microwave oven.

electromagnetic radiation from your cell phone.

A basketball referee tosses the ball straight up for the starting tip-off. At what velocity (in m/s) must a basket ball player l
mamaluj [8]

Answer:4.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given

height to reach is (h )1.24 m

here Let initial velocity is u

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2ah

here Final Velocity v=0

a=acceleration due to gravity

0-u^2=2\left ( -g\right )h

u=\sqrt{2gh}

u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.24}

u=\sqrt{24.328}

u=4.93 m/s

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

Induced EMF and Current in a Shrinking LoopShrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let c be the circumference and r be the radius

c = 2πr , r = c / 2π , area A = π r² = π (c/2π )²  = (1/4π) x c²

flux (ψ) = BA = 1 X 1/4π X c²

dψ/dt = 1/4π x 2c dc/dt =1/2π x c x dc/dt

at t = 8 s

c = 161 - 13 x 8 = 57 cm , dc/dt = 13 cm/s  

e = dψ/dt = (1 / 2π )x 57 x 13 x 10⁻⁴ = 118 x 10⁻⁴ V.

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}
