Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not  require a medium to propagate . this means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials bit also through vacuum of space.

Consider the f(x) = Acos(x) function shown in the figure in blue color. What is the value of amplitude A for this function?
Alex73 [517]

The amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit and the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

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

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

<h3>Amplitude of the red colored wave</h3>

From the graph, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit.

<h3>Amplitude of the blue colored wave</h3>

From the graph, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

Thus, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit and the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 21.0 m below the surface. calculate the force (in n) needed to
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

28,400 N

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

p_{top} = p_{atm} + \rho g h=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(21.0 m)=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

p_{bot}=p_{atm}=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

p=p_{top}-p_{bot}=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa - 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa=2.058 \cdot 10^5 Pa

which acts from above.

The area of the hatch is given by:

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{0.420 m}{2})^2=0.138 m^2

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

F=pA=(2.058\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.138 m^2)=28,400 N

The graph below shows the speed of a car as it drives along a racetrack.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Average speed = distance/time

From 1 to 9 seconds:

Distance covered = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 km

Time = 9 - 1 = 8 sec

Average speed = 0.8 km / 8 sec

Average speed = 0.1 km/s .

The average speed for the whole test is 1.6 km / 20 sec = 0.08 km/sec. A graph of speed vs time would average out as a horizontal line at 0.08 km/sec from 1 sec to 21 sec. The area under it would be (0.08 km/s) x (20 sec) = 1.6 km.

Surprise surprise ! The area under a speed/time graph is the distance covered during that time !

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the gracious bounty of 3 points with which I have been showered. Moreover, the green breadcrust and tepid cloudy water have also been refreshing.
