Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum is used for identifying what type a wave is. For example, a wave with a very low frequency would be a radio wave, and a wave with a very high wavelength would be a gamma wave.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer: Astronomers use the entire electromagnetic spectrum to observe a variety of things. Radio waves and microwaves – the longest wavelengths and lowest energies of light – are used to peer inside dense interstellar clouds and track the motion of cold, dark gas

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$

A 50 kg runner runs up a flight of stairs. The runner starts out covering 3 steps every second. At the end the runner stops. Thi

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts of kinematic equations of motion and the work done by a body.

In the case of work, we know that it is defined by,

$W = F * d$

Where,

F= Force

d = Distance

The distance in this case is a composition between number of steps and the height. Then,

$d=h*N$ , for h as the height of each step and N number of steps.

On the other hand we have the speed changes, depending on the displacement and acceleration (omitting time)

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

Where,

$V_f =$ Final velocity

$V_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

$\Delta X =$ Displacement

PART A) For the particular case of work we know then that,

$W = F*d$

$W = m*g*(h*N)$

$W = 50*9.8*(0.3*30)$

$W = 4.41kJ$

Therefore the Work to do that activity is 4.41kJ

PART B) To find the acceleration (from which we can later find the time) we start from the previously given equation,

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

Here,

$V_i = \frac{0.3*3}{1} = 0.90m/s\rightarrow$ 3 steps in one second

$v_f = 0$

Replacing,

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

$0-0.9^2=2a(30*0.3)$

Re-arrange for a,

$a = -\frac{0.9^2}{2*30*0.3}$

$a = -45*10^{-3}m/s^2$

At this point we can calculate the time, which is,

$t = \frac{\Delta V}{a}$

$t = \frac{0-0.9}{-45*10^{-3}}$

$t = 20s$

With time and work we can finally calculate the power

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{4.41}{20}

P = 0.2205kW

Mass m moves to the right with speed =v along a frictionless horizontal surface and crashes into an equal mass m initially at re

Amiraneli [1.4K]

After the collision the magnitude of the momentum of the system is Mv

Given:

mass of 1st object = M

speed of 1st object = v

mass of 2nd object = M

speed of 2nd object = 0

To Find:

magnitude of the momentum after collision

Solution: Product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton's second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.

Applying conservation of linear momentum

Mv + M(0) = 2MV

Mv = 2MV

V = v/2

So, after collision momentum is

p = 2MV = 2xMxv/2 = Mv

So, after collision momentum is Mv

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?

Rudik [331]

Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.
