Are radio waves transverse or longitudinal

Physics
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, depending on the direction of the oscillation:

- Transverse wave: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal wave: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave - examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves - consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field that propagate in a vacuum at the speed of light - so they are an example of transverse wave.

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the current is at a value that is_________.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Explanation:

We know that the relation between the Voltage and the current is given using the Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is directly proportional to the current (I)

Mathematically,

V ∝ I

Hence,

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Tectonic plates move ________. A. about a kilometer per year B. at different speeds C. about one yard per year D. at the same sp
Alona [7]

Answer:

B. at different speeds.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater mechanical strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection; that is, the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid mantle. Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from spreading ridges due to variations in topography (the ridge is a topographic high) and density changes in the crust (density increases as newly formed crust cools and moves away from the ridge. These average rates of plate separations can range widely. The Arctic Ridge has the slowest rate (less than 2.5 cm/yr), and the East Pacific Rise near Easter Island, in the South Pacific about 3,400 km west of Chile, has the fastest rate (more than 15 cm/yr).

A rope is wrapped around the rim of a large uniform solid disk of mass 325 kg and radius 3.00 m. The horizontal disk is made to
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular speed is 0.13 rev/s

Explanation:

From the formula

\tau = I\alpha

Where \tau is the torque

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

But, the angular acceleration is given by

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

Where \omega is the angular speed

and t is time

Then, we can write that

\tau = \frac{I\omega}{t}

Hence,

\omega = \frac{\tau t}{I}

Now, to determine the angular speed, we first determine the Torque \tau and the moment of inertia I.

Here, The torque is given by,

\tau = rF

Where r is the radius

and F is the force

From the question

r = 3.00 m

F = 195 N

∴ \tau = 3.00 \times 195

\tau = 585 Nm

For the moment of inertia,

The moment of inertia of the solid disk is given by

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^{2}

Where M is the mass and

R is the radius

∴I = \frac{1}{2} \times 325 \times (3.00)^{2}

I = 1462.5 kgm²

From the question, time t = 2.05 s.

Putting the values into the equation,

\omega = \frac{\tau t}{I}

\omega = \frac{585 \times 2.05}{1462.5}

\omega = 0.82 rad/s

Now, we will convert from rad/s to rev/s. To do that, we will divide our answer by 2π

0.82 rad/s = 0.82/2π rev/s

= 0.13 rev/s

Hence, the angular speed is 0.13 rev/s,
