Atoms are the building blocks of all matter and the smallest part of a chemical element. All matter, from our bodies and the air we breathe, the Eiffiel Tower, books,

Atoms are mostly empty space. At its center, there is a nucleus which is where the majority of its mass is located. Tiny particles called protons and neutrons make up the nucleus. Protons have a positive electric charge while neutrons don't have any charge. Electrons circle around the nucleus just like all the planets in our solar system orbit orbit around the brightest star in the sky, the sun.

When atoms are split, they release energy. this concept applies to

balu736 [363]

This applies to nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission.

This huge release of energy has been used in atomic bombs and in the nuclear reactors that generate electricity.

In the absence of air resistance, at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 de

snow_tiger [21]

As we know that range of the projectile motion is given by

$R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}$

here we know that range will be same for two different angles

so here we can say the two angle must be complementary angles

so the two angles must be

$\theta, 90 - \theta$

so it is given that one of the projection angle is 75 degree

so other angle for same range must be 90 - 75 = 15 degree

so other projection angle must be 15 degree

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.

serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Calculate the wavelength of an orange light wave with a frequency of 5.085 x 10^14 Hz. The speed of light is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency = 5.085 x 10¹⁴Hz

Speed of light = 3.0 x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the orange light = ?

Solution:

The wavelength can be derived using the expression below;

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$

v is the speed of light

f is the frequency

wavelength = $\frac{3 x 10^{8} }{5.085 x 10^{14} }$ = 5.9 x 10⁻⁷m
