Two homogeneous bodies of the same volume

lord [1]

Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that, https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bmass%7D%7Bvolume%7D

Hence, d1 = and d2 =

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.

When temperature decreases but actual water vapor content remains the same, what happens to relative humidity?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

d. Relative humidity increases.

Explanation:

The expression of relative humidity in terms of absolute humidity, absolute pressure and saturation pression at measured temperature is:

$\phi = \frac{\omega \cdot P}{(0.622+\omega)\cdot P_{sat}}$

When temperature decreases, the saturation pressure decreases also and, consequently, relative humidity increases. Therefore, the right answer is option D.

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug

wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.

It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.

The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves. </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field, meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

Compared to a stationary galaxy, light from a galaxy that is moving away from earth will appear _____.

Vlad1618 [11]

"B" When an object moves away from us, the light is shifted to the red end of the spectrum, as its wavelengths get longer.

An open pipe of length 0.39 m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400 Hz what is the distance from the center of

Svetach [21]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Number of harmonics = 3

Now there are 3 loops so here we can say

$3\times \frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.39$

$\lambda = 0.26 m$

now here at the center of the pipe it will form Node

we need to find the distance of nearest antinode

So distance between node and its nearest antinode will be

$d = \frac{\lambda}{4}$

$d = \frac{0.26}{4} = 0.065 m = 6.5 cm$

So the distance will be 6.5 cm
