The main factors that determine the speed of a wave in any particular medium are _____.

1 answer:

6 0

It all depends on what kind of wave, and what kind of medium.

For mechanical waves, like sound and earthquakes, the speed
is determined by the mechanical properties of the medium, like
density and stiffness.

For electromagnetic waves, like radio and light, the speed is
determined by the electrical properties of the medium, like
magnetic permeability and electrostatic permittivity.

That's a big part of the reason why sound and light travel
at different speeds through air, water, and jello.

Vesnalui [34]

From the law of Galileo Galilei :v²=v₀²+2ad we take the speed

v²=0+2*4.90*200=1960=>v=√1960=44.27 m/s

in a certain experiment, a radio transmitter emits sinusoidal electromagnetic waves of frequency 105.0 mhz in opposite direction

Romashka [77]

As a result, the hollow is 10.90 meters long and the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36 meters.

<h3>Explain electromagnetic waves.</h3>

The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves.

By definition, we understand that the frequency equals,

f = c/λ

where,

λ = wavelength

c= Speed of light

λ = 2L / n

While the wavelength is equal to,

Where,

L = Length

n = Number of antinodes/nodes

PART A) We know that the first component's wavelength is 110 MHz, so

λ = c/ f

λ = 3*10^8 / 11*10^6

λ = 1.36m

Therefore the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36m

PART B) For this part we need to find the Length through the number of nodes (8) and the wavelength, that is,

λ` = 2l /n

L = 8*2.72/ 2

L = 10.90m

Therefore the length of the cavity is 10.90m.

The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5. The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 and the mass of Object

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.

I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.

Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .

Then . . .

-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.

-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.

So now, here are the masses:

Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .

Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:

Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.

What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car traveling at 75mph?What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car t

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 2812500 joules

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500kg

Velocity of car = 75mph

Kinetic energy = ?

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 500 x 5625

= 2812500 joules

Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules

Hey guys, i'm at 10 grade at school i have a physics question about stress tension and young modulus ? Please this is my questio

makvit [3.9K]

Use the eq. of Young modulus Y=(F/A)/(∆l/lo)
dimana ∆l is the elongation of wire, lo is its initial length.
So ∆l = (F/A)lo/Y.
∆l = (1000N/(6.5 × 10^-7 m^2))×(2.5m)/(2.0 × 10^-11 N/m^2)
Use calculator to finish it.
