The earliest radio broadcasts on Earth were emitted about 100 years ago. Approximately where are these initial radio waves now?

(Radio waves are a type of radiation, so they travel at the speed of light)

Answer:

100 ly are d=9.454255\times10^{17}m

Explanation:

The speed of light is, by definition (we define this and derive a definition of distance from there nowadays), c=299792458m/s. We want to know, at this speed, how much distance the radio signals travel in 100 years. Since each year has 365 days (not a leap one though), each day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, the number of seconds in a year will be (365)(24)(60)(60)=31536000, so the distance traveled by the waves in 100 years will be:

d=vt=(299792458m/s)(100)(31536000s)=9.454255\times10^{17}m, which, of course, are 100 light years.

A +12 μC charge and -8 μC charge are 4 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the E-field at the point midway between t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge of first Particle q_1=+12\ \mu C

Charge of second Particle q_2=-8\ \mu C

distance between them d=4\ cm

k=9\times 10^{9}

magnetic field due to first charge at mid-way between two charged particles is

E_1=\frac{kq_1}{r^2}

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm

E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 12\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}

E_1=27\times 10^7\ N/C (away from it)

Electric field due to q_2=-8\ \mu C

E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}

E_2=-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}

E_2=-18\times 10^7\ N/C(towards it)

E_{net}=E_1+E_2

E_{net}=9\times 10^7\ N/C(away from first charge)

Letters A B, C and D represent locations on a bar magnet. Which location has the greatest magnetic force? (l) A (3) C ets (2) B
Elena L [17]
Answer: The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center. So it would be D.
