Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

A vector quantity has a magnitude and direction. Mass, Speed and Volume are all scalar quantities because they only have magnitude, and not direction.

Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 × $10^6$ m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

$qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

here V is the potential difference

we know that mass of proton = 1.67× $10^{-27}$ kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference $V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045$

now mass of electron =9.11× $10^{-31}$

so for electron

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec$

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406× $10^6$ m/sec

Which are characteristics of electromagnetic waves?check all that apply.

emmainna [20.7K]

Correct choices are marked in bold:

travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces

travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ )

travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum

travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter

can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits

move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved

move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
