Describe the medium that electromagnetic waves use to travel

Physics
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
7 0

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.

The fulcrum is the
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

point of support on which a lever rotates.

Explanation:

The fulcrum is the point of support on which a lever rotates. Fulcrum is a pivotal part of simple machines.

The fulcrum provides the platform for a lever to torque.

  • The force that opposes motion by the applied force is termed the frictional force.
  • Friction is a force that opposes motion.
  • The stored energy of an object is its potential energy.
  • The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.
  • The distance an object moves when doing work is termed its displacement.

Which example provides the most complete description of an object's motion?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

In order to describe the motion of an object, distance covered and time taken must be required. The total path covered by an object is called the distance travelled.

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes. This describes the motion of hiker. The motion shows how fast the hiker is moving.  

Distance, d = 2 miles = 3218.6 m

times, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

So, we can say that the hiker is moving with a speed of 1.78 m/s in north direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A stunt woman attempts to swing from the roof of a m 24 high building to the bottom of an identical building using a m 24 rope,
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Height from ground is 8 m where string will break

Explanation:

Let the string makes some angle with the vertical after some instant of time

So here we have

T - mg cos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

T = mg cos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{R}

now by energy conservation we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mg(R cos\theta)

mv^2 = 2mgR cos\theta

T = mg cos\theta + 2mgcos\theta

T = 3mg cos\theta

For string break down we have

T = 2mg = 3mgcos\theta

cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}

Now height from the ground is given as

h = R - Rcos\theta

h = 24 - 24(\frac{2}{3})

h = 8 cm

The work done to compress a spring with a force constant of 290.0 N/m a total of 12.3 mm is: a) 3.57 J b) 1.78 J c) 0.0219 J d)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Work done, W = 0.0219 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m

We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2

W = 0.0219 J

So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
