Explain why electromagnetic wave is transverse wave and not a compressional wave. ...?

Physics

tiny-mole [99]3 years ago
5 0
An electromagnetic , transverse,  wave is  a wave that goes up and down, such as light that does not need a medium to travel
While compressional, longitudinal wave such as sound require a medium to travel and can be compressed

hope this helps

How do you determine the speed or velocity of an object using a distance vs. time graph
Taya2010 [7]
The speed of an object can be determined from the distance vs time graph.

You know that speed = distance/time

in the graph, distance/time = slope of the curve.

So SPEED IS GIVEN BY THE SLOPE of the curve in the graph.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, parallel to time axis(x-axis), slope is 0. That means speed is 0. So the object is at rest.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, with some non-zero slope; That means speed is nonzero and constant. So the object is in uniform motion.

● If the distance vs time curve is a curved, the slope is changing. That means speed is changing. So the object is in an accelerated motion.

Explanation:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration

therefore mass is equal to force divided by acceleration

A lightbulb is rated by the power that it dissipates when connected to a given voltage. For a lightbulb connected to 120 V house
Igoryamba

Answer:

Increases, increases

Explanation:

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. The implication of this is that, whenever the voltage is increased, the current increases simultaneously. On the other hand, if the resistance is increased, the current will decrease accordingly and vice versa.

Recall that power is given by P= V^2/R where;

P= power, V= voltage and R= resistance

We can see that power and resistance are inversely related hence decreasing the resistance increases the power output of the lightbulb.

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

If you are trying to loosen a stubborn screw from a piece of wood with a screwdriver and fail, should you find a screwdriver for
dmitriy555 [2]

A fatter handle. This allows you to provide more torque to the screw, which should eventually loosen it.
