6) Why do electromagnetic waves not require a medium for travel?

1 answer:

8 0

Electromagnetic waves are a type of
transverse wave. This wave does not
require media for travel. As the name
implies a wave, these waves indicate
electrical and magnetic properties. No
cost whatsoever happened to the wave. Electromagnetic waves work with the
laws of reflection and refraction. They
travel the straight line in a vacuum at a
speed of 3 x 108 ms-1. The intensity of
electromagnetic waves depends on the
strength of the electric field.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.2 m

Explanation:

PHASE 1

First, we calculate the distance the tongue moved in the first 20 ms (0.02 secs). We use one of Newton's equations of linear motion:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = $250 m/s^2$

t = time = 0.02 s

Therefore:

$s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * 250 * (0.02)^2\\\\\\s = 0.05 m$

PHASE 2

Then, for the next 30 ms (0.03 secs), we use the formula:

$distance = speed * time$

This speed is the same as the final velocity of the tongue after the first 20 ms.

This can be obtained by using the formula:

$v = u + at\\\\=> v = 0 + (250 * 0.02)\\\\\\v = 5 m/s$

Therefore:

distance = 5 * 0.03 = 0.15 m

Therefore, the total distance moved by the tongue in the 50 ms interval is:

0.05 + 0.15 = 0.2 m

6) 100 ml of water is initially at 20°C. 30,000 J of heat is added to the water. What is temperature change for the water?

vovangra [49]

The temperature change of water is equal to 71.67 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Amount of transferred energy = 30,000 K J

Mass of water = 100 ml

Initial temperature = 20°C

To find the change in temperature of water.

Formula for Heat capacity is given by

Q = m×c×Δt ........................................(1)

where:

Q = Heat capacity of the substance (in J)

m=mass of the substance being heated in grams(g)

c = the specific heat of the substance in J/(g.°C)

Δt = Change in temperature (in °C)

Δt = (Final temperature - Initial temperature) = T(f) - T(i)

Q = 30,000 J

Mass of water = m = 100 ml

1 ml = 1 g ................................................(2)

Therefore m = 100 ml = 100 g

Specific heat of water is c = 4.186 J /g.

Δt = ?

Substituting these in equation (1), we get

Q = m×c×Δt

Rearranging the terms for Δt,

Δt = $\frac{Q}{m\times c}$

Δt = $\frac{30,000}{100\times 4.186} = \frac{30,000}{418.6}= 71.67\°C$

Δt = 71.67 °C

explain in detail how you would test a gingerbread biscuit solution for the presence of starch, sugar, and protein

mixas84 [53]

To test a food for starch, you can add a few droplets of iodine to it, if the liquid changes to a blue/black color then starch is present. To test for sugar you can use Benedict's solution, which will also have a color change from blue to yellow/red/orange. Add Biuret Reagent solution to test for protein, the solution will turn a pink or purple color... Note that this may not improve the taste or color of your gingerbread biscuit though :)

Which of the following is an example of Newton's Third Law:

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Examples of Newton's third law of motion are ubiquitous in everyday life. For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.
