The properties of mechanical waves are : ( C and D )

The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves ( C )
Waves transport energy,but not matter ( D )

<h3>What are mechanical waves ?</h3>

Mechanical waves are a category of waves which cannot transmit energy through a vacuum, i.e. they require a medium to transmit their energy from one end to another. An example of a mechanical wave is : sound wave. Mechanical waves are grouped into transverse, longitudinal and surface waves.

Hence we can conclude that The properties of mechanical waves are : The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves and Waves transport energy,but not matter

projectile motion of a particle of mass M with charge Q is projected with an initial speed V in a driection opposite to a unifor

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Range, $R = MV²/2QE$

Explanation:

The question deals with the projectile motion of a particle mass M with charge Q, having an initial speed V in a direction opposite to that of a uniform electric field.

Since we are dealing with projectile motion in an electric field, the unknown variable here, would be the range, R of the projectile. We note that the electric field opposes the motion of the particle thereby reducing its kinetic energy. The particle stops when it loses all its kinetic energy due to the work done on it in opposing its motion by the electric field. From work-kinetic energy principles, work done on charge by electric field = loss in kinetic energy of mass.

So, [tex]QER = MV²/2{/tex} where R is the distance (range) the mass moves before it stops

Therefore {tex}R = MV²/2QE{/tex}

A spherical snowball melts at a rate proportional to its surface area. (a) write a differential equation for its volume, v. (use

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of change in volume is proportional to the surface area:

dV/dt = kA

Integrating:

V = kAt + C

At t=0, V = s, so:

s = kA(0) + C

C = s

Therefore:

V = kAt + s

A beam of light strikes one face of a window pane with an angle of incidence of 30.0°. The index of refraction of the glass is 1

natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of incidence = 30.0°

Index of reflection of glass = 1.52

(a). We need to calculate the angle of refraction for the ray inside the glass

Using snell's law

$\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\mu$

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{\mu}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin 30}{1.52}$

$r=\sin^{-1}(0.329)$

$r=19.26^{\circ}$

(b). We know that,

The incident ray and emerging ray is equal then the ray will be parallel.

We need to prove that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Using formula for emerging ray

$\dfrac{\sin e}{\sin r}=\mu$

$\sin e=\sin r\times \mu$

Put the value into the formula

$\sin e=0.3289\times 1.52$

$e=\sin^{-1}(0.499)$

$e=29.9\approx 30^{\circ}$

So, $\sin i=\sin e$

This is proved.

Hence, (a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

A test charge is placed at a distance of 2.5 × 10-2 meters from a charge of 6.4 × 10-5 coulombs. What is the electric field at t

Novosadov [1.4K]

Using the formula: E = kQ / d² where E is the electric field, Q is the test charge in coulomb, and d is the distance.

E = kQ / d²

k = 9 x 10^9 N-m²/C²
Q = 6.4 x 10^-5 C
d = 2.5 x 10^-2 m

Substituting the given values to the equation, we have:
E = (9 x 10^9)(6.4 x 10^-5) / (2.5 x 10^-2) ²

Electric field at the test charge is 921600000 N/C
