Answer:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
Explanation:
here this may help.
It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.
-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet. This is bigger than atoms.
-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building. This is bigger than atoms.
-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger. this is bigger than atoms.
-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long. About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch. These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.
-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long. You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch. Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.
-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.
Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.
The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.
Assuming that there is no heat loss, and the cup is perfectly insulated, all of the energy lost by the lead will be absorbed by the water.
The heat absorbed is given by:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 joules per gram.
In order to compute the mass, we will use the fact that the density of water is one gram per milliliter. Therefore, the mass of water is 50 grams.
Now,
Q = 50 * 4.18 * (20 - 18)
Q = 418 J
418 Joules of energy were released by the lead.
I think it would be B perpendicular
