X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves. Like any other electromagnetic waves, they are transverse waves, and travel at the speed of light.

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the neg
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

=2,012,319.36 \ m/s

Explanation:

-The only relevant force is the electrostatic force

-The formula for the electrostatic force is:

F = Eq

E is the electric field and q is the magnitude of the charge.

#Since the electric field is the same in both cases, and the charge of the protons and electrons have the same magnitude, you can state that the magnitude of the electric forces acting in both proton and electron are the same.

F_e = F_p\\\\F_e= Force \ on \ electron\\F_p = Force \ on \ proton

-Applying Newton's 2nd Law:

F=ma

F_e=M_ea_e

F_p=M_pa_p

#equate the two forces:

F_e = F_p\\\\M_ea_e=M_pa_p\\\\a_e=\frac{M_pa_p}{M_e}

#The equations for velocity in uniform acceleration:

V_f^2=V_o^2+2ad\\\\V_o^2=0\\\\\therefore V_f^2=2ad

#For the proton:

V_f^2=2a_pd\\\\a_p=\frac{V_f^2}{2d}\\\\a_p=\frac{47000m/s)^2}{2d}

#For the electron:

V_f^2=2{a_e}^2\times 2d\\\\A_e=M_p\times A_p/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/2d\times2d/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/M_e\\\\V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}

The mass values of the proton and electron are:

M_p=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg\\\\M_e=9.11\times10^{-31}kg

The speed of the ion is therefore calculated as:

V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}\\\\=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{1.67\times10^{-27}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}\\\\=2,012,319.36 \ m/s

Hence, the ion's speed at the negative plate is =2,012,319.36 \ m/s

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C

A 26 cm object is 18 cm in front of a plane mirror. A ray of light strikes the object and is reflected off the mirror at a 42-de
matrenka [14]

Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
An activity that is relatively short in time <10 seconds and has few repetitions predominantly uses the ATP/PC energy system. The cellular respiration procedure that changes food energy into ATP which is a form of energy is largely reliant on oxygen obtainability. During exercise the source and request of oxygen obtainable to muscle is unnatural by period and strength and by the individual’s cardiorespiratory suitability level. 
Steps of the ATP-PC system:


1. Primarily, ATP kept in the myosin cross-bridges which is microscopic contractile parts of muscle is broken down to issue energy for muscle shrinkage.  This action consents the by-products of ATP breakdown which are the adenosine diphosphate and one single phosphate all on its own.


2. Phosphocreatine is then broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase into creatine and phosphate.


3. The energy free in the breakdown of PC permits ADP and Pi to rejoin creating more ATP.  This newly made ATP can now be broken down to issue energy to fuel activity.
