Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?
fomenos

Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible.  --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium.  --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -
postnew [5]

Answer:

-2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or information or parameters that is going to help us to solve the problem effectively and efficiently;

=> " the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -1.4 V during one revolution. "

=> " Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 15 m".

So, in order to estimate the value for the charge we will be making use of the equation below:

Charge, C =( radius × voltage or potential difference) ÷ Coulomb's law constant.

Note that the value of Coulomb's law constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

So, charge = { 15 × (- 1.4)} / 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

= -2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Which solid state component allows a mobile phone to store data even if the battery is removed
Talja [164]

Answer:

Capacitor

Explanation:

Capacitor ; A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that can store energy in an electric field electrostatically. It works as a small rechargeable battery that stores electricity. However, unlike a battery, it can charge and discharge in the split of a second. Capacitors are widely used to build different types of electronic circuits.

While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with the padded wall behind the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a.) F = 3515 N

b.) F = 140600 N

Explanation: given that the

Mass M = 74kg

Initial velocity U = 7.6 m/s

Time t = 0.16 s

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

F = (74×7.6)/0.16

F = 3515 N

b.) If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds

Change in momentum = 74×7.6 + 74×7.6

Change in momentum = 562.4 + 562.4 = 1124.8 kgm/s

F = 1124.8/0.0080 = 140600 N
