Answer

Energy

Explanation

wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium carrying energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement in that medium. So energy is carried by a wave.

Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

How significant is air resistance for projectile motion?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Air resistance have some significant role in projectile motion if the motion lasts for some time.

Explanation:

Air resistance or air drag seems to be important in daily actvities and games like baseball.

The trajectory of the projectile with or without air resistance or air drag is totally different.

When we neglect air drag, the only acting force is gravity against the motion so the maximum height and range are suppose Hmax and R.

Now, when we consider air drag, it is important to notice that there are two forces against the motion of the ball and along the direction of gravity. It seems that both maximum height and range are lesser Hmax'< Hmax and R'<R.

<span> The statement that best accounts for these different opinions is: scientists propose contradictory ideas to include all possibilities. This statement refers to the scientific method, that is a set of different techniques for investigating phenomena and gaining new knowledge that can improve or correct the previous one. As a result, analysis based on contradicting opinions leads to the progress in scientific sphere.</span>

A circular loop of wire has radius of 9.50 cmcm. A sinusoidal electromagnetic plane wave traveling in air passes through the loo

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The induced emf is $\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the circular loop is $r = 9.50 \ cm = 0.095 \ m$

The intensity of the wave is $I = 0.0215 \ W/m^2$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 6.90\ m$

Generally the intensity is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{ c * B^2 }{ 2 * \mu_o }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4 \pi *10^{-7} N/A^2$

B is the magnetic field which can be mathematically represented from the equation as

$B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * \mu_o * I }{ c} }$

substituting values

$B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * 4\pi *10^{-7} * 0.0215 }{ 3.0*10^{8}} }$

$B = 1.342 *10^{-8} \ T$

The area is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.095)^2$

$A = 0.0284$

The angular velocity is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 * \pi * \frac{c}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$w = 2 * 3.142 * \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{ 6.90 }$

$w = 2.732 *10^{8} rad \ s^{-1}$

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = N * B * A * w * sin (wt )$

At maximum induced emf $sin (wt) = 1$

$\epsilon = N * B * A * w$

substituting values

$\epsilon = 1 * 1.342 *10^{-8} * 0.0284 *2.732 *10^{8}$

$\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V$

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.3 m below. The droplets are fal

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.767m

Explanation:

We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.

We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.

If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.

The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.

Let this distance be x.

We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).

Hence, we can say that:

x + x + x = 2.3m

3x = 2.3m

=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m

Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.
