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.

Explanation:

- Newton's first law of motion:

"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) remains at rest (or in uniform motion) unless acted upon an unbalanced force

In this situation, we can apply Newton's first law to the keys of the keyboard that are not hit by the fingers of the man. In fact, as no force act on the keys, they remain at rest.

- Newton's second law of motion:

"The acceleration experienced by an object is proportional to the net force exerted on the object; mathematically:

F=ma

where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a its acceleration"

In this case, we can apply Newton's second law to the keys of the keyboard that are hit by the man: in fact, as they are hit, they experience a downward force, and therefore they experience a downward acceleration.

"Newton's third law of motion:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

Here We can apply Newton's third law to the pair of objects finger-key: in fact, as the finger apply a force on the key (action force), then the key exerts a force back on the finger (reaction force), equal and opposite.

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present). The mass of the girl is 29.8 kg an
jonny [76]

Answer:

28.81 m

Explanation:

Ff = -123

m * a  = -123

(29.8+10.3) * a = -123

a = -123/40.1 = -3.07

We know,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0^2 = 13.3^2 + 2*(-3.07)*s

s = 176.89/6.14 = 28.81

[ If there's a problem with the solution, pleaase let me know ]

The density is 1.5 g/cm^3. the mass is 1500. what is the volume
Naddik [55]
The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. In this case however we are searching for the volume and must rearrange the formula so that we are solving for the volume. If you multiply both sides by volume and then divide both sides by mass you end up with the equation Volume = Mass/Density.

Volume = 1500g/1.5g/cm^3
Volume = 1000 cm^3

A 20 cm tall object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of 31 cm. The distance of the object to the mirror is 9
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The focal length of the concave mirror is -15.5 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the object, h = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the mirror, R = -31 cm (direction is opposite)

Object distance, u = -94 cm

We need to find the focal length of the mirror. The relation between the focal length and the radius of curvature of the mirror is as follows :

R = 2f

f is the focal length

f=\dfrac{R}{2}

f=\dfrac{-31}{2}

f = -15.5 cm

So, the focal length of the concave mirror is -15.5 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
