What causes the different season on earth
viktelen [127]

The Short Answer: Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, E={h\times \nu}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

A 70.0-kilogram man is walking at a speed if 2.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

140 J

Explanation:

From the the question, the mass of the man =70.0 kg and the speed at which the man is walking =2.0 m/s.

K.E =  \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}

where K.E = the kinetic energy, m=mass and v= speed.

By substitution,

K.E =  \frac{1}{2} \times 70 \times  {2}^{2}

\implies \: K.E = \frac{280}{2}

\implies K.E =140

Hence the kinetic energy of the man is 140J

Physcs Questions from 8th grade....
scoray [572]

1).  Yes.  An object can be moving if the net force acting on the object is zero. 
A non-zero net force is required to CHANGE the object's motion ... speed it up,
slow it down, or change its direction.  But no force is required to keep it moving
at a constant speed in a straight line.

2).a).  The motion of the box changes, from not moving to moving. 
So the forces acting on it must be unbalanced.

2).b).  The motion of the box doesn't change.  It goes from not moving
to still not moving.  So the forces acting on it must be balanced.

2).c).  The motion of the box changes.  Its speed decreases. 
So the forces acting on it must be unbalanced.

Why are some substances gases at room temperature but others are liquid or solid?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The presence of strong intermolecular forces favors a condensed state of matter. liquid or solid), while very weak intermolecular interaction favor the gaseous state.
