What does it mean for waves to be polarized?

Physics

Answer:

Polarization, also called wave polarization, is an expression of the orientation of the lines of electric flux in an electromagnetic field ( EM field ). Polarization can be constant -- that is, existing in a particular orientation at all times, or it can rotate with each wave cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!!!

Polarization also occurs when light is scattered while traveling through a medium. When light strikes the atoms of a material, it will often set the electrons of those atoms into vibration. The vibrating electrons then produce their own electromagnetic wave that is radiated outward in all directions.

A house is losing heat at a rate of 1600 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Exp
Setler [38]

Answer:

1600 kJ/h per K, 888.88 kJ/h per °F and 888.88kJ/h per R

Explanation:

We make use of relations between temperature scales with respect to degrees celsius:

1 K= 1^{\circ}C+273\\1^{\circ}F= (1^{\circ}C*1.8)+32\\1 R= (1^{\circ}C*1.8)+491.67

This means that a change in one degree celsius is equivalent to a change of one kelvin, while for a degree farenheit and rankine this is equivalent to a change of 1.8 on both scales.

So:

\frac{Q}{\Delta T(K)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C)}=1600 \frac{kJ}{h} per K\\\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ F)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C*1.8)}=888.88 \frac{kJ}{h} per ^\circ F\\\frac{Q}{\Delta T(R)}=\frac{Q}{\Delta T(^\circ C*1.8)}=888.88 \frac{kJ}{h} per R

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
makvit [3.9K]

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m  --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right  --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth,
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

A) 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s

B)5.59 x 10^-^9 %

Explanation:

A)

Given:

d = 5.0 km,

mₐ = 2.5 x 10^1^4 kg

u₁ = 4.0 x 10⁴ m/s

m_n = 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ kg

Solve using kinetic conserved energy

mₐ x u₁ + m_n  x u₂ = uₓ x (mₐ + m_n )

(2.5 x 10^1^4) (4.0 x 10⁴ )+ (5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )(0) = uₓ x (2.5 x 10^1^4 + 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )

uₓ = ( 2.5 x 10^1^4 x 4.0 x 10⁴ ) / (2.5 x 10^1^4 + 5.98 x 10 ²⁴ )    

uₓ = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s

B) Assuming earth radius as a R = 1.5 x 10 ¹¹ m

t = 365 days  x 24 hr / 1 day x 60 minute / 1 hr x 60s / 1 minute = 31536000 s

t = 31536000 s

D = 2 π R = 2 π( 1.5 x 10 ¹¹ )

D = 9.4247 x 10 ¹¹ m

u₂  = D / t  = 9.4247 x 10 ¹¹  / 31536000

u₂ =  29885.775 m/s

% = (  1.67 x 10 ⁻⁶ m/s ) / (29885.775 m/s) x 100

% = 5.59 x 10^-^9 %

A and B start walking in the same direction at the same time around a circular park of diameter 4200 m. If A walks 10 m more tha
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Va = 5000 m / 3600 s = 1.39 m/s

(Va - Vb) 60 = 10

Vb = Va - .167 = 1.22 m/s

(Va - Vb) T = 4200 Π      where T is time for A to complete 1 more lap

.17 T = 4200 Π

T = 24700 Π  time for A to again catch B

N = 1.39 * 24700 Answer:

Va = 5000 m / 3600 s = 1.39 m/s

(Va - Vb) 60 = 10

Vb = Va - .167 = 1.22 m/s

(Va - Vb) T = 4200 Π      where T is time for A to complete 1 more lap

.17 T = 4200 Π

T = 24700 Π  time for A to again catch B

N = 1.39 * 24700 Π / (4200 Π) = 8.2   laps

A will make 8 but not 9 rounds before catching B
