Answer:

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

Explanation:

The complete question is

Consider the following:

a) radio waves emitted by a weather radar system to detect raindrops and ice crystals in the atmosphere to study weather patterns;

b) microwaves used in communication satellite transmissions;

c) infrared waves that are perceived as heat when you turn on a burner on an electric stove;

d) the multicolor light in a rainbow;

e) the ultraviolet solar radiation that reaches the surface of the earth and causes unprotected skin to burn; and

f) X rays used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?

check all that apply to the above

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

They require different media to propagate.

All the above phenomena are due the electromagnetic wave spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel at a constant speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum. Within the spectrum, the different types of electromagnetic waves exists in different band range of frequencies and wavelengths unique to each of the waves, and the energy they carry. When these waves enter a non-vacuum medium, their speed change, depending on the nature of the material of the medium, and the frequency or the wavelength of the incoming wave.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

X axis

Fₓ = maₓ

Axis y

Fy - W = m a $a_{y}$

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

Cos θ = Fₓ / F

Fₓ = F cos θ

sin θ = Fy / F

Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

F sin θ -w = m a

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

F = mg

If the light strikes the first mirror at an angle θ1, what is the reflected angle θ2? express your answer in terms of θ1.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

Explanation:

When the light falls on a mirror it bounces back. This is know as reflection. The incident angle is equal to the angle of reflection.

Here, the light strikes the mirror at an angle = θ₁

To find the angle of reflection we first need to understand angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle made between the incident ray and normal. Normal is an imaginary line drawn perpendicular line on the boundary of the mirror.

Since the light strikes the mirror at angle of θ₁, which is the angle between light ray and the mirror.

Angle of incidence = 90° - θ₁.

Thus, angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

You toss a rock of mass m vertically upward. Air resistance can be neglected. The rock reaches a maximum height h above your han

VladimirAG [237]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of rock=m

Maximum height=h

a.At maximum height, velocity,v=0

We know that

$v^2=u^2-2gh$

$0+2gh=u^2$

$u^2=2gh$

Height,h=h/4

Again, $v'^2=u^2-2g\times \frac{h}{4}$

$v'^2=2gh-\frac{gh}{2}=\frac{4gh-gh}{2}=\frac{3gh}{2}$

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{3gh}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 9.8 h}{2}}=3.83\sqrt h$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

b.When height,h=3h/4

$v'^2=u^2-2gh$

$v'^2=2gh-2g\times \frac{3h}{4}=2gh-\frac{3gh}{2}=\frac{4gh-3gh}{2}=\frac{gh}{2}$

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8h}{2}}=2.2\sqrt h$

$v'=2.2\sqrt h$

In the Atwood machine shown below, m1 = 2.00 kg and m2 = 6.05 kg. The masses of the pulley and string are negligible by comparis

Rus_ich [418]

M1 descending
−m1g + T = m1a

m2 ascending
m2g − T = m2a

this gives :
(m2 − m1)g = (m1 + m2)a

a = (m2 − m1)g/m1 + m2
= (5.60 − 2)/(2 + 5.60) x 9.81
= = 4.65m/s^2
