What do waves transmit?

Physics

Answer:

Waves only transport a portion of energy.

Explanation:

Let's think about some examples related to waves in nature:

  1. An electromagnetic wave is a combination of electric and magnetic fields, both of them oscillate through space and time. That oscillation transport energy, that is bounded in little "packets" of energy called photons. So this wave transmits energy.
  2. In the case of a solid, the periodic oscillation of the molecules, this kind of oscillation transport energy too and in this particular case it is called phonons. It is just a quantum of energy related to a compression wave, as a sound or a vibration lattice in a crystal.

In conclusion, waves only transport a portion of energy.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

(1) An object that’s negatively charged has more electrons than protons.

(2) An object that’s positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.

(3) An object that’s not charged has the same number of electrons than protons.

Explanation :

Objects have three subatomic particles that are Electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus and electrons rotate or move outside the nucleus. Naturally, protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged.

Therefore, an object that is negatively charged has more electrons than protons.  An object that is not charged has the same number of electrons than protons. An object that is positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.

Yamin is running 50 feet of No. 14 wire (with a cross section of 4,110 cmils) to a load that draws current of 11 amps. What appr
castortr0y [4]

Resistance per 1000 feet for gauge 14 wire is given as

R = 2.525 ohm

now if wire is of length 50 feet only then the resistance is given as

R = \frac{2.525}{1000}\times 50

R = 0.126 ohm

now if 11 A current flows through the wire then the voltage drop is given by ohm's law

V = iR

V = 11 \times 0.126

V = 1.4 Volts

so most appropriate answer in given options is

A. 1.8 Volts

A 4.40-kilogram hoop starts from rest at a height 1.70 m above the base of an inclined plane and rolls down under the influence
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity is  v=4.08m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy

   The potential energy possessed by the  hoop at the top of the inclined plane is converted to the kinetic energy at the foot of the inclined plane

        The kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as

                    KE = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{Iw}{2}

Where I is the moment of inertia possessed by the hoop  which is mathematically represented as

                 I = mr^2

Here R is the radius of the hoop

         w is the angular velocity which the hoop has at the bottom of the lower part of the inclined plane which is mathematically represented as

                          w = \frac{v}{r}

Where v linear speed of the hoop's center of mass just as the hoop leaves the incline and rolls onto a horizontal surface

      Now expressing the above statement mathematically

            potential \ energy = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

               mgh = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

=>            mgh =\frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{(mr^2)(\frac{v}{r})^2 }{2}  

=>          mgh = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{mv^2}{2}

=>           mgh = mv^2

=>              v = \sqrt{gh}

Substituting values

                v = \sqrt{9.81 * 1.7}

                  v=4.08m/s
