True or false: (a) Maxwell's equations apply only to fields that are constant over time.(b) The wave equation can be derived fro
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) False
(b) True
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True
(f) True
Explanation:
(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.
(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.
(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of to the direction of wave propagation.
(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.
(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:
Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.
(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.

To solve for force, you need to get the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma
Your given is:
m = 150g
a = ?
v = 50 m/s
t = 20ms
As you can see, you do not have acceleration yet. But if you read the problem you can come up with the formula of acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time.
a = change in velocity/time
To get the change in velocity, you get the difference between the initial velocity and final velocity:
The ball was moving initially at a velocity of 50 m/s and it came to a stop. This is your clue. If a ball comes to a stop then that means that the final velocity of the ball is 0 m/s.
So we can put it into our formula now:
WAIT! As you can see, the units do not match. We have ms and s into our equation and that means you cannot proceed till they are the same. First we need to convert ms to s.
x 
= 
So your new time is 0.02s. Now we put this time into the formula:
As you can see our acceleration is a negative value, this indicates that it decelerated or slowed down which makes sense because it was brought to a stop.
So now we have our acceleration. Now using this, we can get our force.
Before we start doing this, you need to take note that the unit of force is N, but when you expand it, it is
but as you can see our mass given is in grams. So again, before you put them into the equation we need to change it into kg first.
Our new mass is 0.150kg.
To make things clearer, let us write down all our new values:
m = 0.150kg
a = -2,500
Now that all our units match, we can put that into our formula:
The value again is negative because it is going against the initial direction of the ball. But if your instructor just wants to get the value of force or the magnitude of the force, just disregard the sign.
