Answer: All of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are transverse waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of electromagnetic waves. These waves are arranged according to wavelength and frequency.

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature. In the transverse wave, the particles of vibrations in the medium travels perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

They travel with the speed of the light in the form of sinusoidal wave.

Therefore, all of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are transverse waves

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of range is given as

$R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

now we know that

maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as

$R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}$

now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value

so we will have

$\frac{R}{2} = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

$sin(2\theta) = \frac{1}{2}$

$2\theta = 30 or 150$

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<h3>Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

m is mass
a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

A coin is dropped in a 15.0 m deep well.

labwork [276]

Answer:

t = 1.75

t = 0.04

Explanation:

For part 1 we want to use a kenamatic equation with constant acceleration:

X = 1/2*a*t^2

isolate time

t = sqrt(2X / a)

Plugin known variables. Acceleration is the force of gravity which is 9.8 m/s^2

t = sqrt(2*15m / 9.8m/s^2)

t = 1.75 s

The speed of sound travels at a constant speed therefore we don't need acceleration and can use the equation:

v = d / t

isolate time

t = d / v

plug in known variables

t = 15m / 340m/s

t = 0.04 s

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 2670 km in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 11,070 km in 9 hou

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

speed of plane in still air = 1060 km/h

speed of wind = 170 km/h

Explanation:

Let teh speed of plane in still air is vp and the speed of air is va.

Irt travels 2670 km in 3 hours against the wind

So,

vp - va = 2670 / 3 = 890 km/h ..... (1)

It travels 11070 km in 9 hours along the wind.

vp + va = 11070 / 9 = 1230 km/h .... (2)

Adding both the equations

2 vp = 2120

vp = 1060 km/h

and va = 1230 - vp = 1230 - 1060 = 170 km/h
