What is characteristic of both sound waves and electromagnetic waves?

Physics

Travka [436]3 years ago

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.

Describe how wet and dry barometers work
siniylev [52]

Answer: Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!

A 75.0 kg object decelerates from a speed of 100 m/s to 50 m/s over an interval of 25 seconds. What was the net force acting upo
lukranit [14]

Assuming constant acceleration <em>a</em>, the object has undergoes an acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (50 m/s - 100 m/s) / (25 s) = -2 m/s²

Then the net force has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that, by Newton's second law,

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) (-2 m/s²)

<em>F</em> = -150 N

meaning the object is acted upon by a net force of 150 N in the direction opposite the initial direction in which the object is moving.

Which describe the image formed by an object on the center of curvature? Check all that apply.
9966 [12]

The image formed by a concave  mirror with the object placed at the center of curvature is real inverted and formed at the center of curvature. Using the ray diagram a ray from the top of the object to the mirror through f then reflected parallel to the principal axis,then the ray through the center of curvature reflected through the same point both intersect at a plane through center curvature and perpendicular  to the principal axis. The point of intersection forms the top of the image and the center of curvature forms the bottom. Therefore, the correct choices are : real and inverted

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 5.2 kg object moving at 2.4 m/s.​
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, K = 14.97 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the object, m = 5.2 kg

Velocity of the object, v = 2.4 m/s

It is required to find the kinetic energy of the object. As it is moving with some velocity, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.2\times (2.4)^2\\\\K=14.97\ J

So, the kinetic energy of the object is 14.97 J.
