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.

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?
Alisiya [41]
We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
\Delta V = I R
where
\Delta V is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and R=330 \omega, so the potential difference is
\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch is 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s².

How many times stronger than gravity is this force? 2.79 x 10⁴ g.

Explanation:

given information:

s = 220 m

final speed, vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

he unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch

vf² = v₀²+2as, v₀ = 0

vf² = 2as

a =vf²/2s

  = (10970)²/(2x220)

  = 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s²

Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration

a/g = 2.7 x 10⁵/9.8

a/g = 2.79 x 10⁴

a = 2.79 x 10⁴ g

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow- dryer is 11 Amps, and th
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(a) 1320 W

(b) 480 W

(c) E':E ≈ 11:2

Explanation:

(a) Applying,

P' = VI'................. Equation 1

Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.

From the question,

Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (120×11)

P = 1320 W

(b) Similarly,

P = VI................... Equation 2

Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.

Also Given: I = 4 A,

Therefore

P = 4(120)

P = 480 W

(c)

E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3

E = P/t................ Equation 4

Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner

From the question,

Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4

E' = 1320/900

E' = 1.47 J,

E = 480/1800

E = 0.267

Therefore,

E':E = 1.47:0.267

E':E ≈ 11:2
