Physics

Kaylis [27]3 years ago

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.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
