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.

Difference between dynamo and generator

QveST [7]

Answer:

Dynamos and Generators convert mechanical rotation into electric power.

Dynamo - a device that makes direct current electric power using electromagnetism

Generator - used to describe an alternator that creates AC power using electromagnetism.

Explanation: so dynamo makes direct electric power using electromagnetism. A generator creates AC power using electromagnetism

A car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 400 meters in 10 seconds. What was the acceleration of

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be $a=8m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec

So distance traveled by car s = 400 m

Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From second equation of motion we know that $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

So $400=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 10^2$

$a=8m/sec^2$

So acceleration of the car will be $a=8m/sec^2$

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter

Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U= Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

$\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J$

While the heat added to the system is

$Q=500 J$

therefore, the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J$

There are eight men sitting on a couch. Three legs break and six men leave. How many legs are remaining

lutik1710 [3]

Explanation: Well, think about it if you see it on the logical end, there are 8 men that mean 16 legs. Then there are 4 legs of the couch as well that made it total of 20. If broken legs are of the men, then still the total will be 20 because the legs are still intact but 6 men left that means 12 legs are gone, if 3 legs break and 6 men leave. the number of legs remaining are 20–6*2–3=5.... so it's 5 I hope this helps! xoxo
