A) The magnetic field doubles as well

The relationship between rms value of the electric field and rms value of the magnetic field for an electromagnetic wave is the following:

E_{rms}=cB_{rms}

where

E_rms is the magnitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B_rms is the magnitude of the magnetic field

From the equation, we see that the electric field and the magnetic field are directly proportional: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, then the rms value of the magnetic field will double as well.

B) The intensity will quadruple

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave is given by

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E_0^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E_0 is the peak intensity of the electric field

The rms value of the electric field is related to the peak value by

E_{rms}=\frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}}

So we can rewrite the equation for the intensity as

I=c\epsilon_0 E_{rms}^2

we see that the intensity is proportional to the square of the rms value of the electric field: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, the average intensity of the wave will quadruple.

A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0480-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 33.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 55.0 kg, c
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is \bf{3.88~m/s} and the final velocity of the catcher is \bf{0.029~m/s}.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, m_{t} = 70~Kg.

The mass of the catcher, m_{c} = 55~Kg.

The mass of the ball, m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg.

Initial velocity of the thrower, v_{it} = 3.90~m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s

Initial velocity of the catcher, v_{ic} = 0~m/s

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is v_{ft}. From the conservation of momentum,

&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is v_{fc}. From the conservation of momentum,

&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is 3.88~m/s and that for the catcher is 0.029~m/s.

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

A girl exerts a horizontal force of 109 N on a crate with a mass of 31.2 kg. HINT (a) If the crate doesn't move, what's the magn
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of static friction force is 109 N

(b) Minimum possible value of static friction is 0.356

Solution:

As per the question;

Horizontal force exerted  by the girl, F = 109 N

Mass of the crate, m = 31.2 kg

Now,

(a) To calculate the magnitude of static friction force:

Since, the crate is at rest, the forces on the crate are balanced and thus the horizontal force is equal to the frictional force, f:

F = f = 109 N

(b) The maximum possible force of friction between the floor and the crate is given by:

f_{m} = \mu_{s}N

where

N = Normal reaction = mg

Thus

f_{m} = \mu_{s}mg

For the crate to remain at rest, The force exerted on the crate must be less than or equal to the maximum force of friction.

f\leq f_{m}

f \leq \mu_{s}mg

109 \leq \mu_{s}\times 31.2\times 9.8

\mu_{s}\geq 0.356
