Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.

Particle A of charge 2.79 10-4 C is at the origin, particle B of charge -5.64 10-4 C is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle C of charge
kirill [66]

Answer:

a) 0 b) 29.9 N c) 21.7 N d) -17.4 N e) -13.0 N f) -17.4 N  g) 16.9 N

h) 24.3 N θ = 44.2º

Explanation:

a) As the electric force is exerted along the line that joins the charges, due to any of the charges A or C has non-zero x-coordinates, the force has no x components either.

So, Fcax = 0

b) Similarly, as Fx = 0, the entire force is directed along the y-axis, and is going upward, due both charges repel each other.

Fyca = k*qa*qc / rac² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(2.79)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 9.00 m²

Fyca = 29. 9 N

c) In order to get the magnitude of the force exerted by B on C, we need to know first the distance between both charges:

rbc² = (3.00 m)² + (4.00m)² = 25.0 m²

⇒ Fbc = k*qb*qc / rbc² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(5.64)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 25.0 m²

⇒ Fbc = 21.7 N

d) In order to get the x component of Fbc, we need to get the projection of Fcb over the x axis, taking into account that the force on particle C is attractive, as follows:

Fbcₓ = Fbc * cos (-θ) where θ, is the angle that makes the line of action of the force, with the x-axis, so we can write:

cos θ = x/r = 4.00 / 5.00 m =

Fcbx = 21.7*(-0.8) = -17.4 N

e) The  y component can be calculated in the same way, projecting the force over the y-axis, as follows:

Fcby = Fcb* sin (-θ) = 21.7* (-3.00/5.00) = -13.0 N

f) The sum of both x components gives :

Fcx = 0 + (-17.4 N) = -17.4 N

g) The sum of both y components gives :

Fcy = 29.9 N + (-13.0 N) = 16.9 N

h) The magnitude of the resultant electric force acting on C, can be found just applying Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

Fc = √(Fcx)²+(Fcy)² = (17.4)² + (16.9)²\sqrt{((17.4)^{2} +(16.9)^{2}} = 24.3 N

The angle from the horizontal can be found as follows:

Ф = arc tg (16.9 / 17.4) = 44.2º

Which descriptions apply to Mendels pea plant experiments ? Select three options
const2013 [10]

used cross breeding to purposely breed plan

studied a variety of pea plant traits

studied several generations of plants

In order to breed or cross one plant with another, Mendel opened the petals and removed the anthers from the flower and dusted the pistil with pollen from the plant he wished to cross it with and covered the flower with a small bag to prevent the pollen in the air from landing in the pistil. This process is called cross pollination.

Mendel considered 7 characters of pea plant for his study and did the study for several generations.

IMPORTANT 3 QUESTIONS!
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

7. 20,000,000 mL.

8. 8,000 m.

9. 120,000 secs.

10. 4

Explanation:

7. Determination of the volume in millilitres (mL)

Volume in litre (L) = 20,000 L

Volume in millilitres (mL) =..?

The volume in mL can be obtained as follow:

1 L = 1,000 mL

Therefore,

20,000 L = 20,000 x 1,000 = 20,000,000 mL.

Therefore, 20,000 L is equivalent to 20,000,000 mL.

8. Determination of the distance in metre (m)

Distance in mile = 5 mile

Distance in metre =?

First, we shall convert from mile to kilometre.

This can be done as follow:

1 mile = 1.6 km

Therefore,

5 mile = 5 x 1.6 = 8 km

Finally, we shall convert 8 km to metre (m).

This is illustrated below:

1 km = 1,000 m

Therefore,

8 km = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 m

Therefore, 5 miles is equivalent to 8,000 m.

9. Determination of the time in seconds.

Time = 400 minutes for 5 days.

First, we shall convert 400 mins to hour.

This is illustrated below:

60 minutes = 1 hour

Therefore,

400 mins = 400/60 = 20/3 hours

The time (hours) is 20/3 hours in 1 day.

Therefore, the time (hours) in 5 days will be = 20/3 x 5 = 100/3 hours.

Next, we shall convert 100/3 hours to minutes.

This is illustrated below:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

100/3 hours = 100/3 x 60 = 2000 mins

Finally, we shall convert 2000 mins to seconds.

This is illustrated below:

1 mins = 60 secs

2000 mins = 2000 x 60 = 120,000 secs.

Therefore, the time is 120,000 secs.

10. Determination of the number of significant figures.

To obtain the significant figures of a number, we simply count all the numbers available.

Therefore, the number of significant figures for 9876 is 4.
