Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound

Physics
2 answers:
adell [148]3 years ago
8 0

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.

Answer:

Explanation:

No they travel much faster than that. They are part of the family of electromagnetic radiation. They travel at the speed of light.

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r
Schach [20]

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= \frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}

= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.

A sphere of radius R contains charge Q spread uniformly throughout its volume. Find an expression for the electrostatic energy c
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}

Explanation:

Let the sphere is uniformly charge to radius "r" and due to this charged sphere the electric potential on its surface is given as

V = \frac{kq}{r}

now we can say that

q = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3} (\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

q = \frac{Qr^3}{R^3}

now electric potential is given as

V = \frac{k\frac{Qr^3}{R^3}}{r}

V = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3}

now work done to bring a small charge from infinite to the surface of this sphere is given as

dW = V dq

dW = \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} dq

here we know that

dq = \frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3}

now the total energy of the sphere is given as

E = \int dW

E = \int_0^R  \frac{kQr^2}{R^3} (\frac{3Qr^2dr}{R^3})

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{R^6} (\frac{R^5}{5} - 0)

E = \frac{3kQ^2}{5R}
