5 characteristics of an Electromagnetic wave

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.

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?

choli [55]

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

$Work = Force \times displacement$

here we know that

$Force = 8 N$

$displacement = 2 m$

Now work done is given as

$W = 8\times 2$

$W = 16 J$

so it will do 16 J work to move the box

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .
