Since in an electromagnetic wave the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of motion, the electric field has to point in the z direction.

Answer:

Along negative z axis

Explanation:

As we know that in any electromagnetic waves propagation the electric field component and magnetic field component is perpendicular to each other and the propagation of wave is perpendicular to both the components of waves.

so here it follows the condition that velocity is perpendicular to both electric field and magnetic field so we will have

\vec v = \vec E \times \vec B

since velocity is towards positive x direction and magnetic field is towards positive y direction so for the above condition to be hold good the electric field must be along negative z direction.

A desk was moved 12 m using 280 j of work. how much force was used to move the desk?
Oksana_A [137]
Let F =  required force, N

Given:
d = 12 m, distance
W = 280 J, work done

By definition,
W = F*d,
therefore
(F N)*(12 m) = (280 J)
F = 280/12 = 23.33 N

Answer: The force is 23.3 N (nearest tenth)

If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v =\sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

What is the frequency of a wave if the speed is 24 m/s and the wave is 2 meters
vekshin1
Velocity=frequency(wavelength)
24m/s=f(2m)
24/2=f(2)/2

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?
tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz
