An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel

d points west. In which direction does the magnetic field point at this moment?

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

a roller coaster moves on a certain section of it's track with an average speed of 13 m/s. how much distance does it cover in 5.
viva [34]
  • Speed=13m/s
  • Time=5.8s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=Speed\times Time

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=13(5.8)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=75.4m

amm1812

For a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break chemical bonds

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactions can be classified as chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, thermal reaction. So in these three reaction types, the nature of energy will only be varying.

But in order to execute a reaction, there should be breaking of existing bonds and then formation of new bonds. So for breaking of the bonds of reactants, energy should be absorbed from the surrounding.

Then the extra energy will be released after forming the products. Thus, the process of absorption of energy will lead to endothermic process and the process of releasing of energy will lead to exothermic reaction. So for a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break the chemical bonds.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to 0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Energy density will be equal to 0.0175J/m^3

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = 0.50\times 10^{-3}m

Permitivity of free space \epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

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

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Volume will be equal to V=Ad, here A is area and d is distance between plates

V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3

So energy density =\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3

The height difference is found by
\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m
Then the change in potential energy is
E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J
