Answer:

a)  v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s , b)  Eo = 375 V / m ,  B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T,

c)     λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m,   f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz ,  T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , UV

Explanation:

In this problem they give us the equation of the traveling wave

        E = 375 cos [1.99 10⁷ x + 5.97 10¹⁵ t]

a) what the wave velocity

all waves must meet

        v = λ f

In this case, because of an electromagnetic wave, the speed must be the speed of light.

        k = 2π / λ

        λ = 2π / k

        λ = 2π / 1.99 10⁷

        λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m

        w = 2π f

        f = w / 2 π

        f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

        f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz

the wave speed is

        v = 3,157 10⁻⁷   9.50 10¹⁴

        v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s

b) The electric field is

           Eo = 375 V / m

to find the magnetic field we use

           E / B = c

           B = E / c

            B = 375 / 2,9992 10⁸

            B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T

c) The period is

           T = 1 / f

            T = 1 / 9.50 10¹⁴

            T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

the wavelength value is

          λ = 3,157 10-7 m (109 nm / 1m) = 315.7 nm

this wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet

How can you measure the distance an object has moved?
Naily [24]

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

An imaginary line perpendicular to a reflecting surface is called ____refrac_____.
umka2103 [35]
Not totally sure but i would say a normal? its not refraction or incidence if its perpendicular and i dont think its a mirror if its an imaginary line so yeah normal (normals are always perpendicular to their surface too i think so)

Why are temperatures higher in the summer
pochemuha

Answer:Why are temperatures higher in summer than in winter?

During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

If the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The depth is 5.15 m.

Explanation:

Lets take the depth of the pool = h m

The atmospheric pressure ,P = 101235 N/m²

The area of the top = A m²

The area of the bottom =  a m²

Given that A= 1.5 a

The force on the top of the pool = P A

The total pressure on the bottom = P + ρ g h

ρ =Density of the  water = 1000 kg/m³

The total pressure at the bottom of the pool =  (P + ρ g h) a

The bottom and the top force is same

(P + ρ g h) a = P A

P a +ρ g h a =  P A

ρ g h a =  P A - P a

h=\dfrac{P ( A-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5 a-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5- 1)}{\rho g}

h=\dfrac{101235 ( 1.5- 1)}{1000\times 9.81}\ m

h=5.15 m

The depth is 5.15 m.
