Answer:

A. Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have shorter wavelengths.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the interaction between both magnetic and electric fields. These waves have some properties that make them to be arranged in a definite form producing an electromagnetic spectrum.

The spectrum has a general property of which as the wavelength of the waves increases, the frequency decreases. And vice versa.

Thus, the energy of the waves increases as the frequency increases.

Gamma rays have higher frequency, but shorter wavelength. While microwaves has lower frequency, but higher wavelength.

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i

scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of

goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north

<u>Explanation</u>

Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.

Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.

We now add to obtain,

$4+-2+5+-5$

This will simplify to

$=4-2+5-5=2$

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?

ELEN [110]

A person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision will be thrown forward because it maintains forward motion

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In Newton's law, it is stated that if the resultant force acting on an object of magnitude is zero, it can be formulated :

$\large{\boxed{\bold{\Sigma F = 0}}}$

then the object tends to defend itself from its state. So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<em> inertia </em>

The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.

In objects with mass m that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity

When we are in a vehicle that moves forward, then we will still maintain a state of forwarding motion. If our vehicle stops suddenly, then we keep moving forward so we will be pushed forward. From this point, the use of a safety belt serves to hold back our movements so that there are no fatal accidents or collisions.

A river flows at 2m/s. The velocity of a ferry relative to the shore is 4m /s at right angle to the current. What is the velocit

monitta

The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

<h3>Relative velocity</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.

Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.

The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.

Using Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

Let c be the hypotenuse
a = velocity of the ferry, and
b = the velocity of the current, and

c² = 4² + 2²

c² = 16 + 4

c = 20

c = √20

c = 4.47 m/s

c ≈ 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

A 3.06kg stone is dropped from a height of 10.0m and strikes the ground with a velocity of 7.00m/s. What average force of air fr

xxTIMURxx [149]

<span>22.5 newtons. First, let's determine how much energy the stone had at the moment of impact. Kinetic energy is expressed as: E = 0.5mv^2 where E = Energy m = mass v = velocity Substituting known values and solving gives: E = 0.5 3.06 kg (7 m/s)^2 E = 1.53 kg 49 m^2/s^2 E = 74.97 kg*m^2/s^2 Now ignoring air resistance, how much energy should the rock have had? We have a 3.06 kg moving over a distance of 10.0 m under a force of 9.8 m/s^2. So 3.06 kg * 10.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 299.88 kg*m^2/s^2 So without air friction, we would have had 299.88 Joules of energy, but due to air friction we only have 74.97 Joules. The loss of energy is 299.88 J - 74.97 J = 224.91 J So we can claim that 224.91 Joules of work was performed over a distance of 10 meters. So let's do the division. 224.91 J / 10 m = 224.91 kg*m^2/s^2 / 10 m = 22.491 kg*m/s^2 = 22.491 N Rounding to 3 significant figures gives an average force of 22.5 newtons.</span>
