Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>


<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:


1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.  

2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.

5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>

50 POINTS !!!
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a) I = 464 kg m²,  b)  K = 631 .6 J, c)  v = 8.25 m / s

Explanation:

a) the moment of inertia of point particles is

          I = ∑ m_i r_i²

in this case

          I = 8 5² + 3 (-2) ² + 7 (-6) ²

          I = 464 kg m²

b) The kinetic energy is

          K = ½ I w²

          K = ½ 464 1.65²

          K = 631 .6 J

c) linear and angular velocity are related

          v = w r

          v = 1.65 5

          v = 8.25 m / s

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?
saul85 [17]
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.
