Do electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through?

Physics

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer:

No.

<em>Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to travel through. </em>

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance which travel through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

Waves are classified into two

(i) Mechanical Wave:These are waves that require a material medium for their propagation. E.g water wave, wave generated in a spring, and sound wave.

(ii) Electromagnetic wave: These are waves that do not require a material medium for their propagation. E.g light rays, radio wave, x-rays and gamma rays.

<em>Thus from the above explanation, electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to travel through. </em>

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N
