Ans: C) 300,000 kilometers per second

Electromagnetic waves are created by the movement of charges. This results in the generation of electric and magnetic fields which oscillate in a direction perpendicular to each other.

Electromagnetic waves carry a certain wavelength, frequency and speed. The speed of such waves as they travel through space is equal to the speed of light (c) = 3*10⁸ m/s

since 1 km = 10³ m

speed, c = 1 km * 3*10⁸ ms-1/10³ m

                = 300, 000 km/s

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) 3.13 m/s

B) 5.34 N

C) W = 26.9 J

Explanation:

We are told that the position as a function of time is given by;

x(t) = αt² + βt³

Where;

α = 0.210 m/s² and β = 2.04×10^(−2) m/s³ = 0.0204 m/s³

Thus;

x(t) = 0.21t² + 0.0204t³

A) Velocity is gotten from the derivative of the displacement.

Thus;

v(t) = x'(t) = 2(0.21t) + 3(0.0204t²)

v(t) = 0.42t + 0.0612t²

v(4.5) = 0.42(4.5) + 0.0612(4.5)²

v(4.5) = 3.1293 m/s ≈ 3.13 m/s

B) acceleration is gotten from the derivative of the velocity

a(t) = v'(t) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612t)

a(4.5) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612 × 4.5)

a(4.5) = 0.9708 m/s²

Force = ma = 5.5 × 0.9708

F = 5.3394 N ≈ 5.34 N

C) Since no friction, work done is kinetic energy.

Thus;

W = ½mv²

W = ½ × 5.5 × 3.1293²

W = 26.9 J

Answer:

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred in a unit of time. Power is increased if work is done faster or energy is transferred in less time.
