Explain why light is referred to as electromagnetic radiation.

Physics

4 0

Answer: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation because it has the ability to travel from one type of medium to another and can also carry some energy along with it. A light wave has two components, namely the electric field component as well as the magnetic field component that are both perpendicular to the propagating direction.

The visible light lies between the ultraviolet and the infrared lights, with wavelength from 400 nm to 700 nm respectively. This is collectively known as the visible spectrum of light.

(Figure 1) shows the angular-velocity-versus-time graph for a particle moving in a circle. How many revolutions does the object
Travka [436]

Answer: 10.34

Explanation:

Given

\omega -t graph for a particle is given

angle turned by the particle in radians is given by the area under \omega -t graph

The area is given by

A=20\times (2-0)+10(4-2)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (20-10)\times (3-2)\\A=40+20+5=65\ rad

Revolutions(N) made by the object is given by

N=\dfrac{65}{2\pi }=10.34

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

now plug in all data into above equation

5(v) + 3(3)

5v = -9

v = -1.8 m/s

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
