The electromagnetic spectrum is the system of frequencies that show electromagnetic radiation, respective wavelengths, and photon energies. Some examples of frequencies found on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C
algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ
Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is 6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2

d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F is the capacitance

V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.
