What is characteristic of both sound waves and electromagnetic waves?

1 answer:

8 0

Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are both form of vibrations. They are both similar as they allow for transfer of information from on point to another by using vibrations.
Two major difference between the two are:
Sound waves are longitudinal waves meaning the direction of vibrations is the same as direction of wave travel. Meanwhile, electromagnetic waves have a direction of wave travel tranverse, at 90 degrees, to direction of vibration.
Secondly, sound waves need medium of transportation, example air or water, while electromagnetic waves do not, example light from sun travels through vacuum to reach Earth.

Keaton is asked to solve the following physics problem:

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The answer is C "think about the problem first, systematically consider all factors, and form a hypothesis"

Explanation:

In physics there is some basic fomula that sir Isacc Newton proposed under the topic of motion. The three formulas are below;

1) v=u+at

2)v^2=u^2+2as

3)s=ut+(1/2)(at^2)

the variables are explained below;

u= initial velocity of the body

a=acceleration/Speed of the body

t= time taken by the body while travelling

s= displacement of the body.

Therefore to solve keatons problem, the factors(variables) in the formulas above need to be systematically considered. Since the ball was dropped from the top of the building, the initial velocity is 0 because the body was at rest. Also the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths

dalvyx [7]

Answer: because ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ

A student conducts an experiment in which a cart is pulled by a variable applied force during a 2sec time interval. In trial 1,

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

F = m a

a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

v = v₀ + a t

v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

p = m v

The moment change

Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

Δp = m v₀ + F t - m v₀

Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
