Answer:

The direction of propagation is west.

Explanation:

We know that electromagnetic waves (EM-waves) are transverse in nature. EM-waves containing electric field and magnetic field both are perpendicular to the each other ( E ⊥ B ).

Transverse waves : the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the direction of amplitude which we call transverse waves. eg : light waves, water waves, gravitational waves etc.

Here, in our case the direction of electric field is pointing upward to the plan of the screen and the direction of magnetic field is pointing north

∴ E × B = k

Where E = direction of electric field, B = direction of magnetic field, k = direction of propagation at particular instant.

Above equation follows right hand rule. put your finger toward you (out of the screen) then curl to the north side then  the thumb will give you the direction of the wave propagation ( west side )

In our case west direction is the direction of wave propagation.

A spring with k = 19.5 N/cm is initially stretched 1.39 cm from its equilibrium length. a) How much more energy is needed to fur
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Energy needed = 54.02 J

Explanation:

the Energy in an elastic spring from hookes law is given  as

F= ke , therefore the energy (E) is

E = \frac{1}{2} Ke^{2}

K = 19.5 N/cm

e = 1.39cm

E = \frac{1}{2} x 19.5 x 1.39

E = 13.55 J

The energy to stretch the spring for 6.93cm is

E = \frac{1}{2} x 19.5 x 6.93

E = 67.57 J

The more energy needed for the further stretch is

67.57 - 13.55

Energy needed = 54.02 J

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 30 mph. at the same tim
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem

BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)

r = sqrt(y² + x²)                                eq-1

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)

15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)

v₂ = 51.2 m/s
