Answer:

 v = 2.66 10⁻³ m/s

Explanation:

To work this problem we must use the relationship between the amount of movement and energy for an electromagnetic wave

    p = U / c

They give us the power of the laser, which is the relationship between work and time. Work is the variation of energy, in a laser beam that is an electromagnetic wave. We have its power

   P = W / t

   W = P t

Work is the variation of energy W = U

   p = P t / c

   ½ m v = P t / c

   v = 2 P t / m c

Let's reduce time to SI units

   t = 1.0 day (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1 h) = 86400 s

Let's calculate

   v = 2 12 10³ 86400 / (2.6 10³ 3 10⁸)

   v = 2.66 10⁻³ m / s

The water tank waves are transverse waves while the sound waves are longitudinal waves.

<h3>What is a wave?</h3>

A wave is a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. We know that the water tank waves are transverse waves while the sound waves are longitudinal waves.

The difference between the two is that in the water waves, the direction of the wave motion is perpendicular to the disturbance while in the sound waves, the the direction of the wave motion is parallel to the disturbance.

What tool is used to determine the mass of an object?
melisa1 [442]
A Beam balance (or Beam scale) is a device to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, weight balances, or simply scales, balances, or balance scales. You can also use a graduated cylinder and determine the water displaced and figure out the mass of an object this way!
