What are electromagnetic waves and how do they travel? Please help!!!

Physics
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago

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.

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

E_k=1/2*mv^2

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if
klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:  

"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}} (1)

Where:

F_{E}=60 N  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1} and q_{2} are the electric charges

d=3 m is the separation distance between the charges  

Then:

60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}} (2)

Isolating q_{1} and q_{2}:

q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2} (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to d_{1}=1 m, (1) is rewritten as:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}} (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

F_{E}= 539.4 N (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

Which statement correctly defines displacement
Andreyy89

Displacement is B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity; it is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object.

Since it is a vector, it has both a magnitude and a direction:

  • The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector, therefore it corresponds to the shortest distance in a  straight line between the starting point and the ending point of the motion
  • The direction goes from the starting point to the ending point

Therefore, the correct answer is

B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion

Note that displacement is very different  from distance. Consider for example an object moving in a circle, returning to its initial position: in this case, the distance covered by the object is not zero (it is the length of the circle), however the  displacement is zero, because the initial position corresponds to the ending position.
