<span>-Electromagnetic waves carry transverse vibrations in electrical and magnetic fields, not vibrating particles.
-Electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel through - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum).
<span>-In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - the fastest speed possible.
</span><span>-When electromagnetic waves travel through matter (for example, light through air or glass), they travel a bit slower than this but rarely less than half as fast as in a vacuum. The value for light travelling through an optical fibre, for example, is taken as 2 x 108 m/s.</span></span>

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

The position of a particle as it moves along an y axis is given by y = (2.0cm)sin(πt/4), with t in second and y in centimeters.
irina [24]

Part a)

At t = 0  the position of the object is given as

x = 0

At t = 2

x = 2 sin(\pi/2) = 2cm

so displacement of the object is given as

d = 2 - 0 = 2cm

so average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 cm/s

Part b)

instantaneous speed is given by

v = \frac{dy}{dt}

v = 2cos(\pi t/4 ) * \frac{\pi}{4}

now at t= 0

v = \frac{\pi}{2} cm/s

at t = 1

v = 2 cos(\pi/4) * \frac{\pi}{4}

v = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt2}

at t = 2

v = 0

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a_{avg} = \frac{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}

a = -\frac{\pi}{4} cm/s^2

Part d)

Now for instantaneous acceleration

As we know that

a =- \omega^2 y

at t = 0

a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16} * 0 = 0 cm/s^2

at t = 1

y = \sqrt2 cm

now we have

a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*\sqrt2

At t = 2 we have

y = 2 cm

a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*2

a = -\frac{\pi^2}{8}

<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>

marin [14]

Answer: The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.

In a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

(a) 181.05 m/s²

(b) 13.2°

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the circle (R) = 0.610 m

Angular acceleration (α) = 67.6 rad/s²

Angular speed (ω) = 17.0 rad/s

(a)

Radial acceleration of the ball is given as:

a_r=\omega^2R

Plug in the given values and solve for a_r. This gives,

a_r=(17.0\ rad/s)^2\times (0.610\ m)\\\\a_r=289\times 0.610\ m/s^2\\\\a_r=176.29\ m/s^2

Now, tangential acceleration is given by the formula:

a_t=R\alpha

Plug in the given values and solve for a_t. This gives,

a_t=(0.610\ m)(67.6\ rad/s^2)\\\\a_t=41.236\ m/s^2

Now, the magnitude of total acceleration is given as the square root of the sum of the squares of tangential and centripetal accelerations. Therefore,

a_{Total}=\sqrt{(a_r)^2+(a_t)^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for total acceleration, a_{Total}. This gives,

a_{Total}=\sqrt{(176.29)^2+(41.236)^2}\\\\a_{Total}=181.05\ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of total acceleration is 181.05 m/s².

(b)

Angle of total acceleration relative to radial direction is given by the formula:

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{a_t}{a_r})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{41.236}{176.29})\\\\\theta=13.2\°

Therefore, the total acceleration makes an angle of 13.2° relative to radial direction.
