Tell how electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves

Physics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago

<span>Electromagnetic and mechanical waves differ in that electromagnetic waves are always longitudinal and do not require a known medium, while mechanical waves are either longitudinal or compression waves and require a medium. All known electromagnetic waves are also known as forms of light.</span>

A rocket sled accelerates at a rate of 49.0 m/s2 . Its passenger has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) Calculate the horizontal component o
Katen [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the passenger, m = 75 kg

Acceleration of the rocket, a=49\ m/s^2

(a) The horizontal component of the force the seat exerts against his body is given by using Newton's second law of motion as :

F = m a

F=75\ kg\times 49\ m/s^2

F = 3675 N

Ratio, R=\dfrac{F}{W}

R=\dfrac{3675}{75\times 9.8}=5

So, the ratio between the horizontal force and the weight is 5 : 1.

(b) The magnitude of total force the seat exerts against his body is F' i.e.

F'=\sqrt{F^2+W^2}

F'=\sqrt{(3675)^2+(75\times 9.8)^2}

F' = 3747.7 N

The direction of force is calculated as :

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{W}{F})

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{5})

\theta=11.3^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Obviously, we can make rockets to go very fast, but what is a reasonable top speed? assume that a rocket is fired from rest at a
steposvetlana [31]

 

I’ve answered this problem before and there were 2 parts in this problem.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>A.    </span><span>Vf = Vi + Vex*ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>0.002 * 3e8m/s = 0 + 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>300 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>1.9e130 = Mi / Mf </span></span>

 

<span>B.    </span><span>4000m/s = 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>2 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>7.389 = Mi / Mf </span>
<span>Mf = Mi / 7.389 = 0.135*Mi<span> </span></span></span>

What would be the mass of a sample containing 0.7 mol of pure tungsten?. . 0.04 g. . 51.8 g. . 128.7 g. . 262.6 g.
mojhsa [17]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. The answer to the question can be easily determined using those available information's. 

Mr of pure tungsten = 183.84
Mass of tungsten = Mole * Mr
                             = 0.7 * 183.84
                             = 128.7 gm
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or the penultimate option.
