Answer:

<em>The electric field can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

A coin is thrown with a velocity of 0 m/s down a dry well and hits bottom in 1.2s, what’s the depth of the well?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

Explanation:

The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+d_0$

where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}9.8\frac{m}{s^2}1.2^2s^2=7.1m$

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?

Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

7.24 Ω

Explanation:

Power = energy / time = 195 J / 9.81 = 19.88 W

and power = V² / R

R resistance = 12 V² / 19.88 W = 7.24 Ω
