Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space true or false

1 answer:

6 0

False. Heat radiation from the sun cannot reach Earth, we cannot receive TV or GPS signals from satellites, and we cannot detect the light from distant stars.
Oh, wait . . .

If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as conductivity.

Musya8 [376]

True.

Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.

A physical property is one which can be measured or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.

Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.

A copper wire is still a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still an aluminum rod during the whole process.

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

$E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}$

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0$

$r^2+x^2-3x^2=0$

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

At $x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$ the electric field will be maximum.

Two parallel wires carry a current I in the same direction. Midway between these wires is a third wire, also parallel to the oth

Luda [366]

Answer:

Force is repulsive hence direction of force is away from wire

Explanation:

The first thing will be to draw a figure showing the condition,

Lets takeI attractive force as +ve and repulsive force as - ve and thereafter calculating net force on outer left wire due to other wires, net force comes out to be - ve which tells us that force is repulsive, hence direction of force is away from wire as shown in figure in the attachment.

The velocity of an object is the _____ of the object

katovenus [111]

D. Speed and direction, this is because velocity is a vector quantity so has a magnitude and direction assigned to it because it is the rate of change of displacement.
