Block A, with a mass of 6.0 kg, is sliding across a frictionless track at 65 m/s when it collides with Block B ( 9.0 kg) which i
s initially at rest . The two masses stick together and travel around a vertical loop with an unknown radius. They just barely make it around the vertical loop with an unknown radius. a) Calculate the centrifugal force acting on the masses at the top of the loop
b) Calculate the velocity of the blocks just after the collision
c) Calculate the radius of the loop so that the blocks just barely make it
d) Calculate the normal force acting on the blocks when they reach the bottom after traveling through the loop
As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.
Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.
The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.
