A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in a vacuum in the +z-direction.

Answer:

a) 1.13 10-8 T.  b) +y direction

Explanation:

a)

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum, the wave speed is c = 3. 108 m/s.

At a long distance from the source, the components of the wave (electric and magnetic fields) can be considered as plane waves, so the equations for them can be written as follows:

E(z,t) = Emax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +x

B(z,t) = Bmax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +y

In an electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field and the electric field, at any time, and at any point in space, as the perturbation is propagating at a speed equal to c (light speed in vacuum), are related by this expression:

Bmax = Emax/c

So, solving for Bmax:

Bmax = 3.4 V/m / 3 108 m/s = 1.13 10-8 T.

b) As we have already said, in an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular each other and to the propagation direction, so in this case, the magnetic field propagates in the +y direction.

A porter can carry 40 bricks of 10 N load of each. He can carry up to 75m in 40 sec, calculate his power.​
alexira [117]

Answer:

750W

Explanation:

40×10= 400N

work done= force × distance

=400 × 75

=30000 J

Power= work done/ time

= 30000 ÷ 40

= 750 W

A 22kg Accelerates at a rate of 2.3 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the bike?
Tcecarenko [31]

magnitude of the net force = mass x acceleraton

                                             = 22 x 2.3

                                             =50.6 N

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)188.65m

b)154.35m

c)243.7m

Explanation:

Given data:

t_A=0.55s

t_B=0.45s

(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:

d_A=v \times t_A

where,

v= speed of sound

t_A=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65m

(b)d_B=v \times t_B

where,

v= speed of sound

t_B=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m

(c)As the angle b/w slight lines  from the two spectators to the player is right angle,

hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators

and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines

D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m
