Why would a flare be observed in visible light, when they are so much brighter in X-ray and ultraviolet light?

Answer:

Because it radiates a spectre of frequencies, this means that it radiates in a continuous range of frequencies, ones with more intensity (like x-ray and ultraviolet) and others with less intensity (like the visible light). While most of the radiation is not in the visible range, there still is a part of the radiation in the visible spectre. And while this part is not the most intense part, the radiation is so large that we can see a very bright visible light.

A 3.0N force to the right acts on a 0.5kg object at rest during a time interval of 4.0 seconds .What is the velocity of the obje

monitta

Answer:

24 m/s

Explanation:

Applying Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = force acting on the object, m = mass of the object a = acceleration of the object.

First we calculate for a.

make a the subject of the formula in equation 1 above

a = F/m............... Equation 2

Given: F = 3 N, m = 0.5 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

a = 3/0.5

a = 6 m/s²

Secondly we calculate the velocity by using,

v = u+at................... Equation 3

Where v = Final velocity of the object, u = initial velocity of the object, t = time interval

Given: u = 0 m/s (at rest), a = 6 m/s², t = 4 s

Substitute into equation 3

v = 0+6(4)

v = 24 m/s

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
