All of the types of electromagnetic radiation listed can pass through Earth's atmosphere, although some types are absorbed or blocked more easily than others.

Visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves are able to pass through the atmosphere relatively easily, while gamma rays are more likely to be absorbed.

This is because gamma rays have a higher energy than the other types of radiation, so they are more easily absorbed by the atoms and molecules in the atmosphere.

Density of the object is 3333.33 kg/m³.

Density can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume.

From Archimedes principle,

Rd = W/U = D/D'

Where Rd = relative density,

W = weight of the object in air,

U = upthrust in water,

D = Density of the object,

D' = Density of water.

W/U = D/D'

Density (D) of the solid can be calculated by the equation,

D = D'(W/U)

As we have,

W = 5.0 N,

U = 5.0 -3.5 = 1.5 N,

D' = 1000 kg/m³

Since U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water

D = 1000(5/1.5)

D = 3333.33 kg/m³

Thus the density of the solid object is 3333.33 kg/m³

This radiator's Heat radiation is 12.8 W.

Provided, the temperature of the radiator θ = 30°C

So, the absolute temperature of the radiator,

  = 303 K

Also provided, the temperature of the surrounding space, T₀ = 3 K

The emissivity of the white paint, ε = 0.89

The length of one side of the radiator, L = 0.3m and the breadth, B = 0.1m.

Now, the amount of rate of  heat transfer by a system at temperature T to a surrounding space at temperature T₀ is given by the formula,

Q = σεFA(T⁴-T₀⁴).

where A is the area of the system exposed to the surrounding, F is the view factor, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸Wm⁻²K⁻⁴ and σ is the emissivity of the system.

Here, the surface area of the radiator,

A = LB = (0.3m) (0.1m) = 0.03 m²

According to the question, the radiator has a full view factor to the space, i.e. we can say, the view factor in this case is, F = 1.

Substituting all known values into the equation we just mentioned we get,

Q = σεFA(T⁴-T₀⁴)

   = (5.67 × 10⁻⁸Wm⁻²K⁻⁴) (0.89) (1) (0.03 m²) [ (303K)⁴ - (3K )⁴ ]

Let the speed of the roller coaster at the bottom = v.

So, kinetic energy at the bottom = 1/2 * mass * speed^2 = 1/2 mv^2

From conservation of energy:

mgh = 1/2mv^2

v= √( 2gh)

Induction charging is a method used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object. The process by which an object receives a static charge when placed near a second charged object is known as inductance.

Induction charges another body without came in contact with that body.

During induction, charges move between objects that briefly touch; during conduction, charges move between objects that are rubbed together.

if the charges have the same sign, then the force is repulsive, this means that the forces point away from each other, so in this case the forces have opposite directions.

Charging by conduction refers to the contact of a charged object to a neutral object, which is the opposite of induction.

F is the applied force

d is the displacement

The individual lowers the book in the provided situation at a slow manner. This means some work has been done by applying force in downward direction. This work will be negative, because it is opposite to the displacement. So, work done is negative.

And according to work energy concept,

Work done = Change in kinetic energy

Negative work accounts for negative value of kinetic energy. Which means kinetic energy is decreasing continuously. Additionally, if kinetic energy declines, mechanical energy will eventually follow.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is ' A. the total mechanical energy is unchanged, because there is no change in the book's kinetic energy as it is lowered to the table.

B. the total mechanical energy is unchanged, because no work is done on the earth-book system while the book is lowered.

C. the total mechanical energy decreases, because the person does positive work on the book by exerting a force that opposes the gravitational force.

D. The total mechanical energy decreases, because the person does negative work on the book by exerting a force on the book in the direction opposite to its displacement.'
