Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

A runner runs 10 miles in 1 hour. how far could they run in 2 hours in m/s?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4.47 m/s.

Explanation:

distance traveled, d = 10 miles

time, t = 1 hour

Speed of the runner, v = d / t

Speed of the runner = 10 miles / 1

Speed of the runner = 10 mph

1 mph ----------------------- 0.44704 m/s

10 mph -----------------------?

= 4.47 m/s

Thus, in 2 hours the distance traveled will change but the speed it still 10 mph or 4.47 m/s.

EM waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields moving perpendicular with respect to each other. What kind of wave is

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

The moment of inertia for a 5500 kg solid disc is 12100 kg-m^2. Find the radius of the disc? (a) 2.111 m (b) 2.579 m (c) 1.679

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Moment of inertia I = 12100 kg-m²

Mass of disc m = 5500 kg

Moment of inertia :

The moment of inertia is equal to the product of the mass and square of the radius.

The moment of inertia of the disc is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}$

Where, m = mass of disc

r = radius of the disc

Put the value into the formula

$12100=\dfrac{5500\times r^2}{2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{12100\times2}{5500}}$

$r= 2.098\ m$

Hence, The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

I need help in this pls i really need a answer

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

In terms of distance, average speed is 20 km/h

In terms of displacement, average speed is 0 km/h.

Explanation:

Total distance:

$= (40.0 - 10.0) + (20.0 - 10.0) + (40.0 - 20.0) \\ = 30.0 + 10.0 + 20.0 \\ = 60.0 \: km$

Total time is 3.0 hours

but:

$average \: speed = \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time} \\$

In terms of distance.

substitute:

$average \: speed = \frac{60.0}{3.0} \\ \\ = 20 \: {kmh}^{ - 1}$

$displacement = ( - 30.0) + 10 .0+ 20.0 \\ = 0$

In terms of displacement:

$speed = \frac{0}{3} \\ \\ = 0 \: {kmh}^{ - 1}$

A current I flows down a wire of radius a.

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) $J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

Explanation:

(a) The surface current density of a conductor is the current flowing per unit length of the conductor.

$K = \frac{dI}{dL}$

Considering a wire, the current is uniformly distributed over the circumferenece of the wire.

$dL = 2\pi r$

The radius of the wire = a

$dL = 2\pi a$

The surface current density $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) The current density is inversely proportional

$J \alpha s^{-1}$

$J = \frac{k}{s}$ ......(1)

k is the constant of proportionality

$I = \int\limits {J} \, dS$

$I = J \int\limits \, dS$ ........(2)

substituting (1) into (2)

$I = \frac{k}{s} \int\limits\, dS$

$I = k \int\limits^a_0 \frac{1}{s} {s} \, dS$

$I = 2\pi k\int\limits\, dS$

$I = 2\pi ka$

$k = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

substitute $J = \frac{k}{s}$

$J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$
