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.

vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat supplied to a system, Q = 292 J

Work done on the system by its surroundings, W = 68 J

We need to find the increase in the internal energy of the system. It can be given by first law of thermodynamics. It is given by :

dE=dQ+dW\\\\dE=292\ J+68\ J\\\\dE=360\ J

So, the increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Option C. is correct

Explanation:

The magnetic field is the area around a magnet in which there is magnetic force. When an electric current flows through a wire a  magnetic field is created. A single wire does not produce a strong magnetic field. So, to increase the power  of the magnetic field, increase the number of coils in the wire.

Luden [163]

That's 'centripetal acceleration'. It points toward the center of the circle in which the object is traveling, even if it's only a temporary piece of a circle.
