Answer: The correct answer is mechanical wave.

Explanation:

A shock wave is produced during an earthquake. A shock wave is an area of of very high pressure created when an object travels faster than the speed of the sound. Shock waves are mechanical wave. It requires a medium to travel.

An electromagnetic wave does not require an medium to travel. A gamma ray and a radio wave are electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave.

Therefore, a scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. The shock wave is a kind of a mechanical wave.

<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

speed of electrons = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 3 kV

magnetic field = 0.66 T

solution

law of conservation of energy

PE = KE

qV = 0.5 × m × v²

v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

v = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

and

magnetic force on particle movie in magnetic field

F = Bqv

ma = Bqv

a = \frac{Bqv}{m}  

a =  \frac{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.82 × 10^{18} m/s²

and acceleration in term g

a = \frac{3.82\times 10^{18}}{9.81}  

a = 3.9 × 10^{17} g

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

and

electron moving in circular orbit has centripetal force

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}  

r = \frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}  

r = 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Answer:

D,B,C,A,C

Explanation:

I believe that is the correct answers but it is unclear. I don't think the key for the second last question would let the current flowing so the bulb would be off.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Three identical resistors of resistances 5Ω, 10Ω and 30Ω are connected with a battery of 12V.

<h3><u>To Find</u> :</h3>

We have to find current through the each resistor and equivalent resistance of circuit.

<h3><u>SoluTion</u> :</h3>

➝ Equivalent resistance of series connection is given by

  • <u>R = R1 + R2 + R3</u>

➝ We know that, Equal current flow through each resistor in series connection.

➝ As per ohm's law, Current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

  • <u>V = IR</u>

◈ <u>Equivalent resistance</u> :

⇒ Req = R1 + R2 + R3

⇒ Req = 5 + 10 + 30

⇒ <u>Req = 45Ω</u>

◈ <u>Current flow in circuit</u> :

⇒ V = IReq

⇒ 12 = I × 45

⇒ <u>I = 0.27A</u>

፨ Therefore, 0.27A current will flow through each resistor.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

454,320 joules

Explanation:

The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: Change in KE = F × d.

Plug the values for F and d into the formula and solve:

Change in KE = 2,524 × 180

= 454,320 joules

The roller coaster gains 454,320 joules of energy from the work done on it by the chain.
