What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

Determine the position in which a solid cylindrical block of wood of diameter 0.3 m and length 0.4 m will float in water. Take s
yan [13]

Answer:

0.2 m

Explanation:

Diameter = 0.3 m

radius, r = 0.15 m

Length, H = 0.4 m

density of wood, d = 0.5 g/cm^3 = 500 kg/m^3

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3

Let h be the depth of cylinder immersed in water.

By the principle of floatation.

Buoyant force = Weight of cylinder

Volume immeresed x density of water x g = Volume of cylinder x density of wood x g

A x h x 1000 x g = A x H x 500 x g

1000 h = 500 x 0.4

h = 0.2 m

What device increases voltage?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Your answer would be C.

A step-up transformer is a transformer that raises voltage from main to secondary by having more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns.

Hope this helps; have a great day!

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meter
Soloha48 [4]

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meters, but you need to know the flow rate. One way of measuring the flow rate is to add a fluorescent dye to the liquid at a known concentration, and then downstream activate the dye by UV light and then measure the dye concentration by emitted light. If the dye is added at 1.00 g/s, and the dye concentration downstream is 0.050% by mass, what is the unknown flow rate in kg/h

A man walking on a tightrope carries a long a pole which has heavy items attached to the two ends. If he were to walk the tight-
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

 I_weight = M L²

this value is much larger and with it it is easier to restore balance.I

Explanation:

When man walks a tightrope, he carries a linear velocity, this velocity is related to the angular velocity by

            v = w r

For man to maintain equilibrium needs the total moment to be zero

             ∑τ = I α

              S  τ = 0

The forces on the home are the weight of the masses, the weight of the man and the support on the rope, the latter two are zero taque the distance to the center of rotation is zero.

Therefore the moment of the masses and the open is the one that must be zero.

If the man carries only the bar, we could approximate it by two open one on each side of the axis of rotation formed by the free of the rope

              I = ⅓ m L² / 4

As the length of half the length of the bar and the mass of the bar is small, this moment is small, therefore at the moment if there is some imbalance it is difficult to recover.

If, in addition to the opening, each of them carries a specific weight, the moment of inertia of this weight is

             I_weight = M L²

this value is much larger and with it it is easier to restore balance.
