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

A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle

Leto [7]

The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.

A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

$VT = K$

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

$V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}$

$V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280$

$V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280$

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

the electrical resistance of copper wire varies directly with its length and inversely with the square of the diameter of the wi

leonid [27]

Answer:24.47

Explanation:

Given

$L_1=30 m$

$d_1=3 mm$

$R_1=25 \Omega$

$L_2=40 m$

$d_2=3.5 mm$

we know Resistance $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where R=resistance

$\rho =resistivity$

L=Length

A=area of cross-section

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Thus $R\propto \frac{L}{d^2}$

therefore

$R_1\propto \frac{L_1}{d_1^2}$ --------1

$R_2\propto \frac{L_2}{d_2^2}$ --------2

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{L_1}{L_2}\times \frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2}$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{30}{40}\times \frac{3.5^2}{3^2}$

$R_2=25\times 0.734\times 1.33$

$R_2=24.47 \Omega$
