Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

1 answer:

4 0

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

y=y0 + vt +1/2gt^2
(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction.

a car traveling north at 17.7 m/s. after 12 seconds its velocity is 14.1 m/s in the same direction. find the magnitude and direc

elixir [45]

Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time. In this case, velocity has changed from 17.7 m/s to 14.1 m/s, which is a decrease of 3.6 m/s. This takes place in 12 seconds, so the average acceleration is 3.6 m/s / 12s = 0.3 m/s^2. The direction of this acceleration is south, since the car's northbound speed is decreasing.
