Is F=mxa expressed in equation in newtons second law of motion?

Yes. That equation is exactly how we write Newton's second law nowadays. Note that the 'x' just means 'times'. It's not another variable. The equation could be written as simply. F = m a .

Light waves do not need a medium to travel through. true or false.

melamori03 [73]

Light travels in electromagnetic waves in the form of photons. What do photons travel in? Can a frequency have weight? Carry weight? According to Einstien a photon with energy proportional to its frequency basically explains ultraviolet light(among other things), so does that mean light travels within a "larger" version of itself?

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels.

Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). If you're stationary with respect to the air, then the speed of sound is the same in all directions. But if you're moving with respect to the air, the speed of sound will be the same in all directions relative to the air---which means that sound coming up in front of you will seem faster and sound catching up to you from behind will seem slower.

If light were a disturbance in a medium, it would exhibit the same behaviour. But light never does---its speed is the same under all circumstances. So it does you no good to postulate an aether. You can still do it, but it makes the theory more complicated than necessary. The only reason to postulate an aether is that you're uncomfortable with the idea of waves not needing a medium. But our modern understanding of quantum mechanics is that all kinds of particles have a wavelike nature, so, if you accept that matter can travel through empty space, you should have no problem accepting the same for light.

so it's true

A pickup truck starts from rest and maintains a constant acceleration a0. After a time t0, the truck is moving with speed 25 m/s

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

B v1= 12.5m/s

Explanation:

As the acceleration is constant and time taken is also same and distance covered is halfed so the speed will also be halfed.

What area must the plates of a capacitor be if they have a charge of 5.7uC and an electric field of 3.1 kV/mm between them? O 0.

kirill [66]

Answer:

Area of the plates of a capacitor, A = 0.208 m²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the parallel plate capacitor, $q = 5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Electric field, E = 3.1 kV/mm = 3100000 V/m

The electric field of a parallel plates capacitor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}$

$A=\dfrac{q}{E\epsilon_o}$

$A=\dfrac{5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C}{3100000\ V/m\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}$

A = 0.208 m²

So, the area of the plates of a capacitor is 0.208 m². Hence, this is the required solution.

How can I find the frequency of sound waves??

BigorU [14]

Answer:

divide the velocity of the wave by the wavelength. Write your answer in Hertz, or Hz, which is the unit for frequency. If you need to calculate the frequency from the time it takes to complete a wave cycle, or T, the frequency will be the inverse of the time, or 1 divided by T.
