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 baseball, which has a mass of 0.685 kg., is moving with a velocity of 38.0 m/s when it contacts the baseball bat duringwhich t

Evgen [1.6K]

Answers:

a) $65.075 kgm/s$

b) $10.526 s$

c) $61.82 N$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>

According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:

$I=\Delta p=p_{2}-p_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$I$ is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$p_{2}=mV_{2}$ is the final momentum of the ball with mass $m=0.685 kg$ and final velocity (to the right) $V_{2}=57 m/s$

$p_{1}=mV_{1}$ is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) $V_{1}=-38 m/s$

So:

$I=\Delta p=mV_{2}-mV_{1}$ (2)

$I=\Delta p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$ (3)

$I=\Delta p=0.685 kg (57 m/s-(-38 m/s))$ (4)

$I=\Delta p=65.075 kg m/s$ (5)

This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately $1.0 cm=0.01 m$ :

$V_{2}=V_{1}+at$ (6)

$V_{2}^{2}=V_{1}^{2}+2ad$ (7)

Where:

$a$ is the acceleration

$d=0.01 m$ is the length the ball was compressed

$t$ is the time

Finding $a$ from (7):

$a=\frac{V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}}{2d}$ (8)

$a=\frac{(57 m/s)^{2}-(-38 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.01 m)}$ (9)

$a=90.25 m/s^{2}$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (6):

$57 m/s=-38 m/s+(90.25 m/s^{2})t$ (11)

Finding $t$ :

$t=1.052 s$ (12)

<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force $F$ is proportional to the variation of momentum $\Delta p$ in time $\Delta t$ :

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (13)

$F=\frac{65.075 kgm/s}{1.052 s}$ (14)

Finally:

$F=61.82 N$

A particle travels clockwise on a circular path of diameter R, monitored by a sensor on the circle at point P; the other endpo

kotykmax [81]

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

$sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}$

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

$\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}$

That is the rate of change of $\theta$ .

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

$\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}$

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.

The turn signal indicator should be activated at least _____ before merging.

Anika [276]

The turn signal indicator should be activated at least FIVE SECONDS before merging. This is done in order to let the other drivers behind you know that you want to turn and to slow down for you, this keeps you and other road users safe and prevent accident.

KI + Cl2 ---> KCl + I2<br> Balance the single replacement chemical reaction.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

2KI + Cl₂ → 2KCl + I₂

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

KI + Cl₂ → KCl + I₂

The problem at hand is to balance this chemical reaction. To solve this problem we use a mathematical approach;

aKI + bCl₂ → cKCl + dI₂

Conserving K : a = c

I : a = 2d

Cl : 2b = c

Now let a = 1, c = 1 , d = $\frac{1}{2}$ , b = $\frac{1}{2}$ , ;

Multiply through by 2;

a = 2, b = 1 , c = 2, d = 1

2KI + Cl₂ → 2KCl + I₂
