A particular wave can be described as transverse and self-propagating. What type of wave could it be?

2 answers:

Radio waves are transverse. Self-propagating, I guess means without any specific support, like a string or a body, so radio waves can propagate in vacuum.

So, the last one, radio wave

Answer:

A radio wave

Explanation:

Self propagating waves are those type of waves in which wave will induce the effect of by its own components.

One of the best example for this is Electromagnetic waves.

In electromagnetic waves electric field components and magnetic field components will oscillate perpendicular to each other and they both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave also.

So here the disturbance due to electric field and magnetic field is since perpendicular to wave propagation so it is known as transverse wave.

So here we can say that correct answer must be an electromagnetic type of wave

so it must be

A Radio Wave.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$x=13$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Magnitude 1 $M_1=5$

Magnitude 1 $M_2=12$

Generally the Pythagoras equation for the magnitudes is mathematically given as

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{M_1^2 +M_2^2}$

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{5^2 +12^2}$

$x=13$

Therefore resultant magnitude is

$x=13$

A fast teaub abd a ski train driving from city a and city b face to face the fast train has a speed of 76km/h, the slow train ha

LekaFEV [45]

The distance between the two cities is 513.24 km.

<h3>Time of motion when the two trains meet</h3>

The time spent on the journey when the two trains meet is calculated as follows;

(Va - Vb)t = d

where;

d is the distance between the trains before meeting

(76 - 65)t = 40

11t = 40

t = 40/11

t = 3.64 hr

<h3>Distance traveled by the fast train</h3>

d1 = 76 km/h x 3.64 h

d1 = 276.64 km

<h3>Distance traveled by the slow train</h3>

d2 = 65 km/h x 3.64 h

d2 = 236.6 km

The distance between the two cities = 276.64 km + 236.6 km

= 513.24 km

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

A 4.2-g bullet is fired at a speed of 370 m/s into a stationary lead block, which moves a distance of 1.2 m before coming to res

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) F = 239.575 N (b) t = 0.00649s or 6.49 ms

Explanation:

(a) By law of energy conservation, the bullet kinetic energy will be transferred to work done on stopping it from moving.

Formula for Kinetic Energy $E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}$ where m is bullet mass, v is the velocity

Formula for work $W = FS$ where F is the average force and S is the distance travelled.

$E_k = W$

$\frac{mv^2}{2} = FS$

$F = \frac{mv^2}{2S}$

Substitute m = 4.2 g = 0.0042 kg, v = 370 m/s and S = 1.2 (m)

$F = \frac{0.0042*370^2}{2*1.2} = 239.575 N$

(b) If the force is constant, since the mass is constant and F = ma according to Newton's 2nd law, the acceleration on bullet is also constant

$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{239.575}{0.0042} = 57041.67 (m/s^2)$

We also have $v(t) = v_0 + at$

At the time the bullet is coming to rest, $v(t) = 0, a = -57041.67 m/s^2$

Therefore, $0 = 370 - 57041.67t$

$t = \frac{370}{57041.67} = 0.00649 s = 6.49 ms$
