Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.

If the temperature of a volume of ideal gas increases for 100°C to 200°C, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the mole

mina [271]

Answer: $\Delta E=2.0715\times 10^{-21} J$

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of the gas is increased from 100 to 200

Also we know that average kinetic energy of the molecules is

$E=\frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{R}{N_A}T$

Where

R=Gas constant

$N_A$ =Avogadro's number

T=Temperature in kelvin

$\frac{R}{N_A}=1.381\times 10^{-23}$

So kinetic energy increases by

$\Delta E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.381\times 10^{-23}\left ( 200-100\right )$

$\Delta E=2.0715\times 10^{-21} J$

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec

AysviL [449]

The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
$E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$
where
$\sigma$ is the charge density
$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
$E=30 N/C$
