Answer:

their weight difference

Explanation:

weight adds to kinetic energy. a heavier object will have a higher kinetic energy because the extra weight will slowly increase or decrease the velocity depending on if it's being sent down a decline or inclined plane

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

  • <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?
sergeinik [125]
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, \triangle \theta = 2\pi

Torque, \tau = 50 Nm

Moment of Inertia, I = 150 kg m^2

If the wheel starts from rest, w_{0} = 0 rad/s

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2................(1)

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration

\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s

A node is a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position. At the nodes, _____.
Kitty [74]

Answer: (B) There is complete destructive interference between the incoming and reflected waves

Explanation:

For example, if you pluck a guitar the waves will travel back and forth. They consist of nodes and anti-nodes. It is created, when the wave traveling to one side and bounces of the other end and comes back. As it travels to the other side, it is reflected thus, comes back. So standing waves occurs when there is interference.

When the wave is produced, the points where the string is not moving are called nodes and where they are moving are called anti-nodes. The positions where nodes are produced, destructive interference occurs and where anti-nodes are produced, constructive interference occurs
