A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

amplitude of 81.87 (V/m) at a depth of 100 m. What is the attenuation constant of seawater

Answer:

The  value is   \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first amplitude of the wave is  E_{max}1 =  98.02 \  V/m

  The first  depth  is  D_1 =  10 \  m

   The second amplitude is  E_{max}2 =  81.87 \  (V/m)

   The second depth is D_2 = 100 \ m

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

   v(x) =  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)

=>       \frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}

So considering the ratio of the equation for the  two depth

\frac{A}{A_S}  =  \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}

=>   \frac{98.02}{81.87}  =  \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}

=>   \alpha  =  \frac{0.18}{90}

=>    \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

HELP NEEDED! Determine the mechanical energy of this object: a 1-kg ball rolls on the ground at 2 m/s.
valentina_108 [34]
The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy.

Because the ball is on the ground, its potential energy is 0.
Its kinetic energy is given by:

K.E = 1/2 mv²
K.E = 1/2 x 1 x 2²
K.E = 2 J

Mechanical energy = 2 + 0
Mechanical energy = 2 J

The answer is B.

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the nitrogen cycle
luda_lava [24]
<h2>Nitrogen is Conserved</h2>

Explanation:

  • Nitrogen is a basic component of all life forms.
  • It is found in all proteins and DNA molecules.
  • Nitrogen is available in the earth's atmosphere by 78 % as N2 gas.
  •  In nitrogen fixation, bacteria convert nitrogen gas into ammonia or usable form of nitrogen used by plants., When animals eat the plants, they acquire usable nitrogen compounds.
  • During the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen atoms used in the cycle are neither created or destroyed, or changed into other atoms.
  •  Thus it can be said that the law of conservation of matter is related to the nitrogen cycle, which states that matter is never created or destroyed in any chemical or physical process.
