The energy efficiency of a car is approximately 20%. If you put 10 gallons of gas into the car, how many gallons are “wasted”?

1 answer:

4 0

First, you find what 20% of 10 gallons of gas would be. This will show how many gallons the car actually uses.
10 gallons x 20% =
10 x 0.20 =
2 gallons used

Then you subtract that number from the total 10 gallons to get how many gallons of gas would be wasted.
10 gallons - 2 gallons =
8 gallons of gas wasted

Answer:

$P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{2I}{c}$

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

$P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

So, the radiation pressure is $2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$ .

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves, and give two examples of different types of electromagnetic waves.

Alex

Answer:

Radio Wave

Micro Wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

Electromagnetic spectrum is obtained according to their wave length and the frequency. Due to wave length range it's categorized. Here is the decreasing order of wave length and increasing order of different wave types in electromagnetic spectrum
