Answer: The passage of a light wave can cause electrically charged particles to move up and down.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transversal waves, they are a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

This means the oscillation of the wave occurs in the transversal direction to its propagation. In addition, electromagnetic waves are spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges.

"what is the horse's average velocity during the first ten seconds of its gallop

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, from the completed question, determine the distance (in meters) the horse covered in the first ten seconds of it's gallop and apply the formula below.

Average velocity = distance (in meters) ÷ time (in seconds as provided in this question)

The unit for velocity (to be used here) is m/s or ms⁻¹

A certain copper wire has a resistance of 13.0 Ω . At some point along its length the wire was cut so that the resistance of one

alekssr [168]

Answer with Explanation:

Let r be the resistance of short piece of copper wire.

Resistance of copper wire=R= $13\Omega$

Resistance is directly proportional to length.

If a wire has greater resistance then,the wire will be greater in length.

Therefore,resistance of long piece of wire=7r

Total resistance of copper wire=Sum of resistance of two piece of wires

$r+7r=13$

$8r=13$

$r=\frac{13}{8}$ ohm

Resistance of long piece of wire= $7\times\frac{13}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\Omega$

Resistance of short piece of wire = $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

Resistivity of wire and cross section area of wire remains same .

Let L be the total length of wire and L' be the length of short piece of wire.

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$ = $\frac{\rho}{A}L=KL$

$\frac{R}{L}=K$

Where K= $\frac{\rho}{A}$ =Constant

Using the formula

$\frac{13}{L}=\frac{\frac{13}{8}}{L'}$

$\frac{L'}{L}=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{8}$

$L'=\frac{L}{8}$

Length of short piece of wire=L'= $\frac{L}{8}$

Length of long piece of wire= $L-L'=L-\frac{L}{8}=\frac{8L-L}{8}=\frac{7}{8}L$

% of length of short piece of wire= $\frac{\frac{L}{8}}{L}\times 100=12.5%$ %

The resistance of the short piece= $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

The resistance of the long piece= $\frac{91}{8}\Omega$

(1 point) A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 new

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)

Explanation:

A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 2 m/sec, find the position of the mass after t seconds.

Solution. Let x(t) denote the position of the mass at time t. Then x satisfies the differential equation

$m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} +kx=0$

Definition of parameters

m=mass 3kg

k=force constant

e=extension ,m

ω =angular frequency

k=90/1.6=56.25N/m

ω^2=k/m= 56.25/1.6

ω^2=35.15625

ω=5.929

General solution will be

$x(t)=c1cos(ωt)+c2Sin(ωt)$

$x(t)=c1cos(5.929t)+c2Sin(5.929t)$

differentiating x(t)

dx(t)=-5.929c1sin(5.929t)+5.929c2cos(5.929t)

when x(0)=0, gives c1=0

dx(t0)=2m/s gives c2=0.337

Therefore, the position of the mass after t seconds is

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)
