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

Imagine a 10kg block moving with a velocity of 20m/s to the left.

lara31 [8.8K]

Kinetic energy , KE= [1/2]m*v^2

m = 10 kg
v=20m/s

KE = [1/][(10kg)(20m/s)^2 = [1/2](10kg)(400m^2/s^2) = 2000 joule

Answer: 2000 joule

A war wolf is a device used during the middle ages to assault fortifications with large rocks. A simple trebuchet is constructed

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 33.0 nC , respecti

matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

$\phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}$ (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\phi \times \epsilon_{o}$

= $-953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}$

= $-8.4 \times 10^{-9} C$

= -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q then,

-14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.
