Answer:

Positive z-direction

Explanation:

According to Fleming's right hand rule, point the fingers of your right hand in the direction of Electric field E ( positive x-direction), and curl your fingers toward magnetic field B (positive y-direction), and your thumb points in the direction of propagation of wave (positive z-direction).

Therefore, the correct option will be positive z-direction.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

We could use conversation of energy. Total distance the stone will cover will be

h=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

the Final velocity will be

v=gt\\v=g\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\ v=\sqrt{2gh}

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at anytime is t greater than or equal to 0 is given by v(t)=1-sin(2pi t)
UkoKoshka [18]
A) We differentiate the expression for velocity to obtain an expression for acceleration:
v(t) = 1 - sin(2πt)
dv/dt = -2πcos(2πt)
a = -2πcos(2πt)

b) Any value of t can be plugged in as long as it is greater than or equal to 0. 

c) we integrate the expression of velocity to find an expression for displacement:
∫v(t) dt = ∫ 1 - sin(2πt) dt
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π + c
x(0) = 0
0 = = + cos(0)/2π + c
c = -1/2π
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π -1/2π

"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem
padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.
