A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is  B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

The  direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  magnitude of the electric field is  E  =  9.6 \  V/m

 

The  magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

       B  = \frac{E}{c}

where c is the speed of light with value

      B  = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}

     B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is  northward(y-plane ) and  the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page  (z-plane  )

A rock is dropped from the edge of a cliff into a pool of water. Assume free-fall acceleration is 10 m/s per second, and air res
il63 [147K]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Because the rocked is being dropped from a height, acceleration due to gravity is positive (g), and initial velocity (u) is negative

Given: t = 2.0 s, g = 10 m/s², u = 0 m/s (dropped from height)

Substituting into equation 1

S = 0(2) + 1/2(10)(2)²

S = 5(4)

S = 20 m

Hence the height of the the cliff above the pool is 20 m

All sound waves need a(n) _______________________________________ to travel through. 4. _____________________ and ______________
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Material medium

compressions and rarefactions

Explanation:

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. All mechanical waves require a material medium for propagation. The medium for the propagation of sound is air. This is the reason why, if you cover your mouth, it will be difficult for another person to hear whatever you are saying.

Sound is also a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are described in terms of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions refer to areas where air molecules crowd together while rarefactions refer to areas where the air molecules spread out.
