In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The magnitude of the tension in each string is |T|=0.55N, and the ang

le between each string and a vertical line is θ=27.33∘. What are the values for the magnitudes of electrostatic force, Fq, and the gravitational force, Fg?

Answer:

Explanation: Two pith ball will repel each other . they will remain balaced due to tension in the spring whose one component balances the weight and the other balances the repulsive force on each.

The gravitational force will be balanced by T cos 27.33 and the electrostatic repulsive force will be balanced by T sin27.33

So

Fg =T cos 27.33

= .55 X .888

= .49 N

Fq = T sin27.33

=.55 x .459

= .25 N.

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug
wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

  • Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.
  • It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.
  • The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves.  </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field,  meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

A trombone plays a C3 note. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is
Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}

Thus,

Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

The mole is 6.02 x 10 23 particles. If a person masses out the correct molar mass in grams for a substance then she would have a
Leto [7]

Answer:

1 mole of H2O is 18 grams (2 g H + 16 g Oxygen)

36 / 18 = 2

So 2 moles = 2 * 6.02E23 = 12.04E23 = 1.204E24
