Describe the medium that electromagnetic waves use to travel

Physics

erik [133]4 years ago

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate means they can travel through air and solid material and the vacuum of space too.

they move the fastest through gases mostly because particles in gases are spread out more than the particles in solids or in liquids so they move quickly through gases.

Anna Litical and Noah Formula are experimenting with the effect of mass and net force upon the acceleration of a lab cart. They

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

a net force of F causes a cart with a mass of M to accelerate at 48 cm/s/s.

F = M x 48

Mass M = F / 48

a )

When force = 2F and mass = M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /F/48

= 48 X 2 = 96 cm/s²

b )

When force = F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= F /2F/48

= 24 cm/s²

c )

When force = 2F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /2F/48

= 48 cm/s

d )

When force = 2F and mass = 4M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /4F/48

= 24 cm/s

When force = 4F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 4F / 2M

= 4F / 2 F/48

= 48 x 2

Acceleration = 96 cm/s²

What does the slope of the curve on a distance vs time graph represent?

Lilit [14]

Slope of a curve Y plotted against X is mathematically given as

$slope = \frac{dy}{dx}$

now here we can see that if similarly graph is plotted against distance and time then slope is given as

$slope = \frac{dx}{dt}$

here we can say that above is ratio of small distance and very small interval of time.

so here we can say that this ratio of distance and time for very small interval of time is known as instantaneous speed of the object which is falling freely under gravity.

So here slope of the graph will represent the speed at a given instant.

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

jeyben [28]

A) diagram is shown on the image below

b) Mass m = 450/9.8 = 45.918 KgNet upward force = T + T = 2T = 620 NNet downward force = 290 + 160 = 450 NResultant force F = Net upward force - Net downward force ma = 620 - 450 45.918 a = 170 Acceleration a = 170/45.918 = 3.7 m/s^2 (upward)Here Net upward force > Net downward force, So the resultant force directed upwards, hence acceleration will be upward.

(c)Consider the case of boy alone, then from Newtons law of motion we can write Net force F = n + T - 290 ma = n + 310 - 290 where m = 290/9.8 = 29.59 Kg 29.59 * 3.7 = n + 20 109.483 = n + 20 n = 89.483 N
