an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate

Physics
1 answer:
sweet [91]3 years ago
5 0

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 ball with a mass of 0.25 kg hits a gym ceiling with a force of 78.0 n. what happens next?
QveST [7]
<span>a. The ball accelerates downward with a force of 80.5 N. This is a rather badly worded question since the answer depends upon whether or not the impact with the gym ceiling was elastic or non-elastic. With an elastic collision, the ball will accelerate downward with it's original force plus the acceleration due to gravity. With a non-elastic collision (the energy in the ball being used to damage the ceiling of the gym), then the initial energy the ball has would be expended while causing damage to the gym ceiling and then the ball would accelerate downward solely due to the force of gravity. In either case, we need to take into consideration the force of gravity. So multiply the mass of the ball by the gravitational acceleration, giving F = 0.25 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2.45 kg*m/s^2 = 2.45 N Since the initial force is 78.0 newtons, let's add them 78.0 N + 2.45 N = 80.45 N and after rounding to 3 figures, gives 80.5 N So we have a possible answer of 2.45N or 80.5N depending upon if the collision is elastic or not. And unfortunately, both possible answers are available. Since no mention of the ceiling being damaged is made in the question, and to be honest a 100% non-elastic collision is highly unlikely, I will assume the collision is elastic, so the answer is "a".</span>

Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0 gal gas tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per seco
Maslowich
A)
R1 = 30/(7*60)
We are multiplying 7 with 60 because there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
R1 = 30/420 = 0.0714 gallons/second

b) For this we need to express gallons to cubic meters.
1 gallon = 0.003785 m^3
R2 = 0.0714*0.003785 = 0.00027 m^3/s

c) V = R2*t    where V is volume of some tank.
which means that
t=V/R2    
t =  3698.8s   or 
t = 1.0274 hours

A 4.4 kg marble (really big heavy marble) is accelerating down an incline. When it reaches level ground it slows down to a stop
KengaRu [80]

#A

Mass=4.4kg

acceleration=-1.74m/s^2

Use newtons second law

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=ma

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=4.4(-1.74)

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=-7.656N

#B

initial velocity=u

Final velocity=v=0

Acceleration=a=-1.74m/s^2

Time=t=1.27s

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=v-at

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=0-(-1.74)(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=1.74(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=2.2m/s
