Laser transmissions travel at a higher speed than the radio waves true or false

1 answer:

6 0

<span>False. Laser transmissions and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. Both travel at approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This is the case because wavelength and frequency are directly proportional to this value. Although laser light has a shorter wavelength than radio waves, it will travel at the same speed because the frequency will be greater.</span>

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work

Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

A trumpet creates a sound wave that has a wave speed of 350m/s and a wavelength of 0.8 m . What is the frequency of the sound wa

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Explanation:

Given

the speed of sound wave = 350 m $s^{-1}$

the wavelength of sound wave = 0.8 m

the frequency of sound wave = ?

All the waves have same relationship among wavelength, frequency and speed, which is given by the equation:

v = fλ, where

v is speed of the wave

f is frequency of the wave

λ is wavelength of the wave

therefore frequency of sound wave is given by

f = v/λ

= 350m $s^{-1}$ /0.8m

= 437.5 $s^{-1}$

= 437.5Hz (since 1 $s^{-1}$ = 1 Hz (Hertz)

Hence the frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Water enters a baseboard radiator at 180 °F and at a flow rate of 2.0 gpm. Assuming the radiator releases heat into the room at

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Temperature of water leaving the radiator = 160°F

Explanation:

Heat released = (ṁcΔT)

Heat released = 20000 btu/hr = 5861.42 W

ṁ = mass flowrate = density × volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flowrate = 2 gallons/min = 0.000126 m³/s; density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ṁ = 1000 × 0.000126 = 0.126 kg/s

c = specific heat capacity for water = 4200 J/kg.K

H = ṁcΔT = 5861.42

ΔT = 5861.42/(0.126 × 4200) = 11.08 K = 11.08°C

And in change in temperature terms,

10°C= 18°F

11.08°C = 11.08 × 18/10 = 20°F

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

20 = 180 - T₂

T₂ = 160°F

A student makes a short electromagnet by winding 300 turns of wire around a wooden cylinder of diameter d 5.0 cm. The coil is co

kupik [55]

Answer:

A) μ = A.m²

B) z = 0.46m

Explanation:

A) Magnetic dipole moment of a coil is given by; μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns of coil

I is current in wire

A is area

We are given

N = 300 turns; I = 4A ; d =5cm = 0.05m

Area = πd²/4 = π(0.05)²/4 = 0.001963

So,

μ = 300 x 4 x 0.001963 = 2.36 A.m².

B) The magnetic field at a distance z along the coils perpendicular central axis is parallel to the axis and is given by;

B = (μ_o•μ)/(2π•z³)

Let's make z the subject ;

z = [(μ_o•μ)/(2π•B)] ^(⅓)

Where u_o is vacuum permiability with a value of 4π x 10^(-7) H

Also, B = 5 mT = 5 x 10^(-6) T

Thus,

z = [ (4π x 10^(-7)•2.36)/(2π•5 x 10^(-6))]^(⅓)

Solving this gives; z = 0.46m =
