Answer: the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates in the direction of the wave. These waves requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates perpendicular to the direction of the wave. These waves does not require a medium to travel. They can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Speed of light wave is constant in the vacuum which is $3\times 10^8m/s$ but its speed decreases as it enters a medium. And, here the light is entering a solid having certain refractive index, so the speed would decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

How much energy is stored in the electric field of a 50-μm-diameter cell with a 7.0-nm-thick cell wall whose dielectric constant

Nady [450]

: Under the assumption that a cell is made up of two concentric spheres you find the surface are of the inside sphere which will be your A.

You already have your separation and dielectric constant so just use the formula you stated towards the end of your question and you get 8.93x10^-11 Farads which is about 89pF

Answer:

Please do not take my word for this at all, but this is what I found, "When the pendulum swings back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. At all times, the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant." So I think the answer is B also you are anime fan too lol :DD I love hinata

How much current will pass through a 12.5 ohm resistor when it is connected to ta 115 volt source of electrical potential?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

9.2 amperes

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage V across a conductor of resistance R is given by $V = R I$

Here, voltage V is proportional to the current I.

For voltage, unit is volts (V)

For current, unit is amperes (A)

For resistance, unit is Ohms (Ω)

Put R = 12.5 and V = 115 in V=RI

$115=12.5I\\I=\frac{115}{12.5}\\ =9.2\,\,amperes$

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

$F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})$

$N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}$

$N = 1.374lb$

PART B) Acceleration

$F_t = ma_t$

$-mgsin\theta = ma_t$

$-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t$

$-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t$

$a_T = -16.10ft/s^2$

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.
