1 answer:

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.

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen

Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Can an object contain heat? Why or why not?

Stells [14]

Every object has thermal energy (better word than heat, since we associate that with high temperatures). This is actually the molecules vibrating, moving a lot. More thermal energy means more vibrating, and thus also expanding in volume.

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative? select one: a. si b. cl c. p d. f e. c

katrin [286]

The atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

<h3>What is electronegative?</h3>

Electronegativity, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

Electronegativity increases across the groups from left to right of the periodic table and decreases down the group.

Examples of electronegative elements arranged in decreasing order;

fluorine,
oxygen,
nitrogen,
chlorine,
bromine,
iodine,
sulfur,
carbon, and
hydrogen.

Thus, the atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2$

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}$

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454$

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N$

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N
