CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is 80 MW/m2, what is the amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave? (c=3.0×108m/s, μ0=4π×10−7T⋅m/A, ε0=8.85×10−12C2/N⋅m2)

Answer:

2.4×10^5 N/C

Explanation:

the amplitude can be explained as the maximum field strength of the electric and magnetic fields. Wave energy is proportional to its amplitude squared (E2 or B2).

We were told to calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field, which can be done using expresion below

S=ε²/2cμ

Where S is the intensity intensity of an electromagnetic wave given as 80 MW/m2

ε² is the Amplitude which we are looking for

c= speed of light given as 3×10^8m/s

Substitute the values into above formula we have,

S=ε²/2cμ

Making Amplitude subject of formula

ε²=S×2cμ

ε²=[80×10^6)(2×3×10^8)(4Π×10^-7)

= 245598.44

ε²=2.4×10^5 N/C

Therefore, amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave is S=2.4×10^5 N/C

While jumping on a trampoline you calculate that at the highest peak of your jump you have 900 joules of gravitational potential

BabaBlast [244]

Jumping on a trampoline is a classic example of conservation of energy, from potential into kinetic. It also shows Hooke's laws and the spring constant. Furthermore, it verifies and illustrates each of Newton's three laws of motion.

<u>Explanation</u>

When we jump on a trampoline, our body has kinetic energy that changes over time. Our kinetic energy is greatest, just before we hit the trampoline on the way down and when you leave the trampoline surface on the way up. Our kinetic energy is 0 when you reach the height of your jump and begin to descend and when are on the trampoline, about to propel upwards.

Potential energy changes along with kinetic energy. At any time, your total energy is equal to your potential energy plus your kinetic energy. As we go up, the kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

Hooke's law is another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel us up, your kinetic energy is 0 but your potential energy is maximized, even though we are at a minimum height. This is because our potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.

A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,

olchik [2.2K]

<span>The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.</span>

Tom has two pendulums with him. Pendulum 1 has a ball of mass 0.2 kg attached to it and has a length of 5 m. Pendulum 2 has a ba

mars1129 [50]

Given Information:

Pendulum 1 mass = m₁ = 0.2 kg

Pendulum 2 mass = m₂ = 0.6 kg

Pendulum 1 length = L₁ = 5 m

Pendulum 2 length = L₂ = 1 m

Required Information:

Affect of mass on the frequency of the pendulum = ?

Answer:

The mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Explanation:

The relation between period and frequency of pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

The period of pendulum is given by

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity and L is the length of the string

As you can see the period (and frequency too) of pendulum is independent of the mass of the pendulum. Therefore, the mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Bonus:

Pendulum 1:

T₁ = 2π√(L₁/g)

T₁ = 2π√(5/9.8)

T₁ = 4.49 s

f₁ = 1/T₁

f₁ = 1/4.49

f₁ = 0.22 Hz

Pendulum 2:

T₂ = 2π√(L₂/g)

T₂ = 2π√(1/9.8)

T₂ = 2.0 s

f₂ = 1/T₂

f₂ = 1/2.0

f₂ = 0.5 Hz

So we can conclude that the higher length of the string increases the period of the pendulum and decreases the frequency of the pendulum.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The modern instruments or we can say the different levels of telescopes are used to explore and study the distant galaxies. i.e the Hubble telescope is out there providing the data regarding the different properties of the celestial entities which in other case is not visible to the human naked eye.

Explanation:

Scientists and research workers are in constant search for more answers as they explore the universe and implement the laws of physics on the celestial entities. But, most of the objects inside the universe are not visible to human naked eye, as they are far from sight and thus more advanced form of instruments like the x-ray, optical, and light telescopes are used to determine the different properties of the celestial entities inside the universe.

As, these telescopes includes the most recent "Hubble telescope", which is out there inside the space to explore the universe and more over the galaxies by subjecting them with x-rays and then provide us with a very rough but valid results to study the distant galaxies.
