How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves

Physics

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

A hockey puck is hit on a frozen lake and starts moving with a speed of 13.60 m/s. Exactly 6.2 s later, its speed is 7.20 m/s. (

stellarik [79]

Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h

raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory ( $u_x$ ) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

$u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2$

Where, $u_x\ and\ u_y$ are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

$(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1$

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

$H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}$

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

$H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m$

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Select the correct statement to describe when a sample of liquid water vaporizes into water vapor

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This procces is called evaporation.

Explanation:

When you have liquid water that is transformed into steam, a phase change is called evaporation. The temperature for the evaporation of water depends on the pressure, for example for water at atmospheric pressure the temperature of evaporation is equal to 100°C. as the pressure increases are achieved evaporation temperatures higher. When that happens, the phase change temperature of the water is not increasing, as the process that takes place is the transfer of latent heat and applies only to changes of phase, that is to say at atmospheric pressure when it has 100% of the steam this will be at 101°C.
