Is visible light a form of radiation? Explain.

Physics

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!
MakcuM [25]

Answer:C

Explanation:All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal
suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

m_c = The center of mass of the stick = \frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m

\omega = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)

As the energy in the system is conserved

mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s

what would happen when an inflated balloon is place in an ice bath and the atmosphere pressure has not changed?
ruslelena [56]

The inflated balloon shrinks when it is placed in an ice bath with no change in atmospheric pressure.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

        When the inflated balloon is subjected to an ice bath, it shrinks. This is due to the fact that smaller volume gets occupied by the air/gas inside the balloon as the temperature decreases. Hence, causes the balloon walls to collapse.  

         An ice bath also lowers the overall air temperature of the balloon inside. As the temperature decreases, the air molecules move more slowly and with lower energy. Because of the particle's lower energy, their collisions with the walls are not enough to keep the inflated balloon.
