Answer:
a. Microwaves—3 and infrared waves—1
Explanation:
Microwaves and infrared waves are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but they have different frequency and wavelength.
In particular:
- Microwaves are long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, with wavelength between 1 mm and 1 m. Their wavelength is longer than visible light
- Infrared waves are also long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, but their wavelength is shorter than microwaves: between 700 nm and 1 mm. Their wavelength is also longer than visible light.
The two types of waves are also used for different purposes. In particular:
- Infrared waves are emitted by any hot object, and their intensity depends on the temperature of the object. Therefore, they are used in astronomy to show the heat released by astronomical objects (option 1)
- Microwaves are used to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is electromagnetic radiation that permeates the whole universe, and its wavelength depends inversely on the local temperature. Therefore, areas with longer wavelength have lower temperature, and viceversa. Therefore, microwaves are used to measure temperature differences in space (option 3).
Answer:
The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²
Explanation:
This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.
Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)
Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs
Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²
The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:
Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.
Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :
Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.
Question:
If you push a bowling ball and a golf ball with an equal force what will happen
Answer:
B)
Explanation:
Larger than the force used to push the object that has less mass. A golf ball and a bowling ball are moving at the same velocity. When gravity and air resistance are equal, the object has drawn its terminal velocity.
