Answer:

Accelerating charges.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the vibration of both electrical and magnetic fields.

This interaction produces an energy source that does not require any medium to propagate.

To produce electromagnetic waves, electric and magnetic fields must be vibrating.

An electric charge produced when vibrating under voltage will produce electromagnetic waves. This is the same for all sources of these waves.

The sun produces electromagnetic waves. A lot of human activities also does this.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is

Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q = Heat absorbed= $1.071\times 10^2$ Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = $T_i$ = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = $T_f$ = 45.0°CChange in temperature , $\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C$

Putting in the values, we get:

$1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C$

$c=0.45J/g^0C$

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

according to newton's third law, when a horse pulls on a cart, the cart pulls back on the horse with an equal force on the horse

Debora [2.8K]

Based on Newton's principle, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.

When a horse pulls on a cart, the horse exerts a force only to the cart. But that force applies only to the cart, not to the horse.

The cart in turn exerts a force on the horse. But that force applies only to the horse, not the cart also.

There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the horse and a force on the cart. The net force on the cart remains as it was --- a positive force in the direction of the horse's movement. Therefore, the cart begins to accelerate and move.

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles

Explanation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles$

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.
