Tell how electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves

1 answer:

3 0

<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>

10 cm^3 of iron have a smaller

IRISSAK [1]

Explanation:

Mass of iron = (7.9)(10) = 79g

Mass of wood = (115)(0.7) = 80.5g

Therefore iron has a smaller mass than the wood, which is true.

A mass of 148 g stretches a spring 13 cm. The mass is set in motion from its equlibrium position with a downward velocity of 10

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm$

0.3619sec

Explanation:

Given that

Mass,m=148 g

Length,L=13 cm

Velocity,u'(0)=10 cm/s

We have to find the position u of the mass at any time t

We know that

$\omega_0=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{980}{13}}\\\\=8.68 rad/s$

Where $g=980 cm/s^2$

$u(t)=Acos8.68 t+Bsin 8.68t$

u(0)=0

Substitute the value

$A=0\\u'(t)=-8.68Asin8.68t+8.68 Bcos8.86 t$

Substitute u'(0)=10

$8.68B=10$

$B=\frac{10}{8.68}=1.15$

Substitute the values

$u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm$

Period =T = 2π/8.68

After half period

π/8.68 it returns to equilibruim

π/8.68 = 0.3619sec

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is

galben [10]

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
$f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz$
