What are the differences between microwaves and radio waves? How does this effect what we use them for?

Microwaves and radio waves are both used for communication purposes. Microwaves have a higher frequency, and therefore a smaller wavelength. Because of this, microwaves can travel through the Earth's atmo...

A tennis ball is hit over a net with a speed of 45ms^-1 and has a mass of 30g. Calculate the kinetic energy of tennis ball.

K=0.5mv^2 K=0.50.03*(45^2) K=30.4J

A rock has a mass of 100g and it is thrown across a pond at a speed of 30ms^-1. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the rock and explain whether you can see the wave produced.

λ=h/p λ=h/mv λ= 6.6310^-34/0.130 λ= 2.21*10^-34m We cannot see the rock's de broglie wave because its wavelength is much smaller than that of the visible spectrum

Show that the radius of an orbit may be expressed as follows: R^3=((GM)/4*pi^2)T^2

Start with Newton's Law of Gravitation: F=(GMm)/R^2 (1) Since orbits are assumed to be circular recall the equation for centripetal force: F=(mv^2)/R (2) We can now equate these 2 forces due to them being...

Define Simple Harmonic Motion

The acceleration or unbalanced force is proportional to the displacement of the object from its equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction

Mathematically, this may be expressed as a=-...
