Light has been measured as traveling at 3×108 m/s in a vacuum. Which of the following also travels at the speed of light, and wh

y?
A
Ultrasound waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because there is no matter to reduce their speed.

B
Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like light.

C
Electrons in a current carrying wire travel at the speed of light because they have very little mass.

D
Gas particles at the center of an atomic explosion travel at the speed of light because the explosion creates an extreme outward force.

Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like a light has been measured as traveling at 3×10^8 m/s in a vacuum.

Charged particles that are accelerating, like time-varying electric currents, are what produce radio waves. Radio and television signals are transmitted using radio waves, and microwaves used in radar and microwave ovens are also radio waves. Radio waves are emitted by a lot of celestial bodies, including pulsars. High RF exposure levels have the potential to heat biological tissue and raise body temperature. The body's inability to handle or remove the extra heat that could be generated by high RF exposure in humans could result in tissue damage.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after
KatRina [158]

Answer:

E = kQs/r.r

Explanation:

Where E is the magnitude of electric field...

k is called Columb's Constant. It has a value of 8.99 x 109 N m2/C2.

Qs is the magnitude of the source charge...

and r is the magnitude of distance between source and target...

(When electron comes to rest Δt the magnitude of Electric field E become zero momentarily but later achieves the maximum value...)

A Brayton cycle has air into the compressor at 95 kPa, 290 K, and has an efficiency of 50%. The exhaust temperature is 675 K. Fi
motikmotik

Answer:

The specific heat addition is 773.1 kJ/kg

Explanation:

from table A.5 we get the properties of air:

k=specific heat ratio=1.4

cp=specific heat at constant pressure=1.004 kJ/kg*K

We calculate the pressure range of the Brayton cycle, as follows

n=1-(1/(P2/P1)^(k-1)/k))

where n=thermal efficiency=0.5. Clearing P2/P1 and replacing values:

P2/P1=(1/0.5)^(1.4/0.4)=11.31

the temperature of the air at state 2 is equal to:

P2/P1=(T2/T1)^(k/k-1)

where T1 is the temperature of the air enters the compressor. Clearing T2

11.31=(T2/290)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

T2=580K

The temperature of the air at state 3 is equal to:

P2/P1=(T3/T4)^(k/(k-1))

11.31=(T3/675)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

T3=1350K

The specific heat addition is equal to:

q=Cp*(T3-T2)=1.004*(1350-580)=773.1 kJ/kg

When a cold alcohol-in-glass thermometer is first placed in a hot tub of water, the alcohol initially descends a bit and then ri
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Wen we place a cold alcohol in glass in a hot tub of water then the glass will be warmed first so it will expand a little due to which the level of alcohal decreases. After some time when thermal equilibrium is achevied then the alcohol will expand more then glass as the alcohol has the greater coeficient of expansion then glass so there will be an incerease in the level of alcohol which will indicate how much high the temperature is.
