Answer:. Option c

Explanation: the speed of an electromagnetic wave is simply the vector product of the magnetic field and the electric field.

The direction of the velocity is the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave is already moving towards the negative y axis (-j) and the magnetic field is already pointing towards the positive x axis (i)

From cross product of unit vectors

i × j = k

i × k = - j

With the second identity, we can see that the electric field will be pointing towards the positive of the x axis (k).

Option c is validated

stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg

\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your
nasty-shy [4]

The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.
