5 characteristics of an Electromagnetic wave

Physics
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago
8 0


1. Electromagnetic waves travel with a constant velocity in vacuum . The velocity is approximately 186,000 miles per second or 300, 000 km per sec, the same as the speed of light.

2.Electromagnetic waves are not deflected  by electric or magnetic fields

3. Electromagnetic waves can show interference or diffraction

4. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, similar to water waves in the ocean or the waves seen on a guitar string. 

5. Electromagnetic waves may be polarized.

6. Electromagnetic waves need no medium  of propagation.

4) For the situation pictured below, F1 = 20.0 N east and F2 = 30.0 N west ,
maksim [4K]

Answer:

10.0 N West

Explanation:

Imagine East is positive and West is negative. Essentially now we have 2 forces pulling opposite each other on the same plane, so we can add them up.

F1=20N

F2=-30N

F1+F2=Net Force

20+(-30)=-10

Therefore the Net Force is 10N West.

You throw a rock straight up into the air with a speed of 14.2 m/s. how long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?
slega [8]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² downward.
Is that right ?           I don't hear any objection, so I'll assume that it is.

That means that during every second that gravity is the only force on an object,
the object either gains 9.8m/s of downward speed, or it loses 9.8m/s of upward
speed.   (The same thing.)

If the rock starts out going up at 14.2 m/s, and loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed
every second, it runs out of upward gas in (14.2/9.8) = <em>1.449 seconds</em> (rounded)

At that point, since it has no more upward speed, it can't go any higher.  Right ?

20.0 -kg cannonball is fired from a cannon with muzzle speed of 1000m/s at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A second ball
Dovator [93]

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is

10 ^{7}  \: joules.

Mass of the first ball = 20 kg

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°

The maximum height reached by the first ball is,

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{1}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=    \frac{ {1000}^{2} sin {}^{2}37°}{2 \times 9.8}

= 18478.69 \: m

The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{2}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=   \frac{ 1000{}^{2}sin^{2} 90°}{2 \times 9.8}[tex] = 51020.41 \: m

For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height

So, the total mechanical energy is,

= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]

= 20 \times 9.8 \times 18478.64  \times  \frac{20}{2} (1000 \: cos37 °)

= 10 ^{7}  The potential energy at the maximum height, = m _{2}gh

= 20 \times 9.8  \times 51020.41

= 10 ^{7} \:J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the

\:second \:  cannonball \:  is  \: 10 ^{7}  \:joules.
