How deep would you have to drill to reach the center of earth?

The radius of the Earth is about  3,960  miles.

That's how far the center of the Earth is straight down under your feet. 
It's farther than the distance all the way across the USA, from New York
to Los Angeles.  It's like the distance from London (England) to Chicago.

If you drill absolutely straight and aim straight down, that's how far
you need to drill to reach the center.  Unfortunately, your drill will melt
long before you get there.

The longest hole ever drilled into the Earth (so far) is the Sakhalin-I Oduptu Well,
drilled by Russia into the sea-bottom in 2011. 

That hole is 40,502 feet ... roughly 7.67 miles, or about  0.0019 of the distance
to the center of the Earth.  You can see that we still have quite a long way to go !

Answer:

Verified that he oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude.

Explanation:

Starting from the first principle for the derivation and to prove that the oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude. The mathematical manipulations was applied, trigonometric identities was also applied.The steps and explanation are shown in the attachment.

True or false: (a) Maxwell's equations apply only to fields that are constant over time.(b) The wave equation can be derived fro
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

(a) False

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) True

Explanation:

(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.

(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.

(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of 90^{\circ}C to the direction of wave propagation.

(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.

(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:

c = \frac{E}{B}

Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.

(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.
