Answer:

Propagation of an Electromagnetic Wave. Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Mechanical waves, unlike electromagnetic waves, require the presence of a material medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.

A semi-trailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway truck ramp th
aleksklad [387]

<u>Answer:</u>

The velocity is 30.279 m/s

<u>Explanation</u>:

Consider the initial speed of the semi-trailer be v

Then, initial kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

According to question, the semi-trailer coast along a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 170, and to a distance of 160m to stop

Change in vertical position =h=160 \times \sin 17^{\circ}-0= 46.779m

Final potential energy of semitrailer = mgh

Applying principle of conservation of energy,

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

Solving for v, we get v^2 = 2gh = 2*9.8*46.779 = 916.8684

v^2 = 916.8684

v = 30.279 m/s

Therefore, the velocity is 30.279 m/s

A yoyo with a mass of m = 150 g is released from rest as shown in the figure.
avanturin [10]

(1) The linear acceleration of the yoyo is 3.21 m/s².

(2) The angular acceleration of the yoyo is 80.25 rad/s²

(3) The  weight of the yoyo is 1.47 N

(4) The tension in the rope is 1.47 N.

(5) The angular speed of the yoyo is 71.385 rad/s.

<h3> Linear acceleration of the yoyo</h3>

The linear acceleration of the yoyo is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of angular momentum.

∑τ = Iα

rT - Rf = Iα

where;

  • I is moment of inertia
  • α is angular acceleration
  • T is tension in the rope
  • r is inner radius
  • R is outer radius
  • f is frictional force

rT - Rf = Iα  ----- (1)

T - f = Ma  -------- (2)

a = Rα

where;

  • a is the linear acceleration of the yoyo

Torque equation for frictional force;

f = (\frac{r}{R} T) - (\frac{I}{R^2} )a

solve (1) and (2)

a = \frac{TR(R - r)}{I + MR^2}

since the yoyo is pulled in vertical direction, T = mg a = \frac{mgR(R - r)}{I + MR^2} \\\\a = \frac{(0.15\times 9.8 \times 0.04)(0.04 - 0.0214)}{1.01 \times 10^{-4} \ + \ (0.15 \times 0.04^2)} \\\\a = 3.21 \ m/s^2

<h3>Angular acceleration of the yoyo</h3>

α = a/R

α = 3.21/0.04

α = 80.25 rad/s²

<h3>Weight of the yoyo</h3>

W = mg

W = 0.15 x 9.8 = 1.47 N

<h3>Tension in the rope </h3>

T = mg = 1.47 N

<h3>Angular speed of the yoyo </h3>

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(3.21)(1.27)

v² = 8.1534

v = √8.1534

v = 2.855 m/s

ω = v/R

ω = 2.855/0.04

ω = 71.385 rad/s

HELP PLEASE!! GIVING BRAINLIEST!! If you answer this correctly ill answer some of your questions you have posted! (20pts)
anyanavicka [17]

Explanation:

potential energy =360800J

mass(m)=?

height (h)=25m

g=9.8m/s²

we have

potential energy =360800J

mgh=360800J

m×9.8×25=360800

m=360800/(9.8×25)=1472.653061kg

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.
