Mechanical (sound) waves are unable to travel through a vacuum, such as through space, but radio waves are transmitted to Earth

from satellites. How is this possible?

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is the wave in which both magnetic field and the electric field are mutually perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave. It travels with the speed of the light.

It is transverse in nature. It does not need any medium to travel. For example, radio wave. It transmitted to earth from the satellites.

Mechanical wave needs medium to travel. For example, sound wave can travel in solid, liquid and the gas. It travels faster in solid in comparison to liquid.

Sound wave consists of rarefaction and compression. This is longitudinal wave.

A point charge A of charge +4micro coloumb and another B of -1 micro coloumb are placed at a distance in air 1m apart then the d
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg requires a centripetal force of 640 N to safely follow a circular curve in the road at 13.4 m/s. W
Tamiku [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Radius is 421 m.

<u>Explanation </u>

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg requires a centripetal force of 640 N to safely follow a circular curve in the road at 13.4 m/s. Therefore, for radius we use formula which is Fc = mv ^ 2 / r,

As mass = m = 1500kg,

Centripetal force = Fc = 640N,

Velocity = v = 13.4 m / s

By putting values, Fc = mv ^ 2 / r,

r = mv ^ 2 / Fc,

=> r = ( 1500kg ) . ( 13.4 m / s) ^ 2 / 640,

=> r = ( 1500kg ) . ( 179.56 ) / 640,

r = 269340 / 640,

=> r = 420.84 m.

Radius is 421 m.

A long, thin solenoid has 450 turns per meter and a radius of 1.17 cm. The current in the solenoid is increasing at a uniform ra
sergey [27]

Answer:

\frac{di}{dt}  = 7.31 \  A/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  number of turns is  N =  450 \  turns

      The  radius is  r =  1.17 \ cm =  0.0117 \ m

       The  position from the center consider is  x =  3.45 cm  =  0.0345 m

       The  induced emf is  e  =  8.20 *10^{-6} \  V/m

Generally according to Gauss law

        \int\limits { e } \, dl  =  \mu_o *  N  *  \frac{di}{dt }  *  A

=>    e *  2\pi x  =  \mu_o  *  N  *  \frac{d i }{dt }  *  A

Where A is the  cross-sectional area of the solenoid which is mathematically represented as

                A =  \pi r ^2

=>      e *  2\pi x  =  \mu_o  *  N  *  \frac{d i }{dt }  *  \pi r^2

=>       \frac{di}{dt}  =  \frac{2e * x  }{\mu_o * N  * r^2}ggl;

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value

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

=>     \frac{di}{dt}  =  \frac{2 *  8.20*10^{-6} *  0.0345  }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 450  * (0.0117)^2}

=>      \frac{di}{dt}  = 7.31 \  A/s
