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.

During a supernova, the outer layers of a star are blown off and the star's core shrinks down by a factor of 10,000 or more to f
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. the core will spin faster.

Explanation:

By law of conservation of angular momentum

(mvR)i= (mvR)f

m= mass of star

v= speed of star

R= radius of star

i= initial

f= final

since, size(R) of the star is reduced by factor of 10,000 and mass remains the same, the velocity must increase by the same factor to keep the angular momentum conserved.

Hence, a. the core will spin faster.

How much kinetic energy does a 50 kg object have if its moving at a velocity of 2 m/s?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

C) 100 joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

In this problem, we have an object of mass m = 50 kg and v = 2 m/s, so by using the formula we can find its kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(2 m/s)^2=100 J
