Answer:

time constant of the damping 130 seconds

Explanation:

given data

amplitude A1 = 1.6 m

time t = 1.5 min = 90 sec

amplitude A2 = 0.80 m

to find out

time constant of the damping

solution

we know here that maximum amplitude at time t is express as

A2 = A1 × ee^{\frac{-t}{b} }       .............a

here b is time constant

so b will be from equation 1

b = \frac{t}{ln(\frac{A1}{A2} )}       ............b

put here all value top find b

b = \frac{90}{ln(\frac{1.6}{0.80} )}  

b =  \frac{90}{ln(2)}

b = 129.84

so time constant of the damping 130 seconds

Ann [662]

Answer:

1027 N/C

3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic field = 1400 W/m²

E₀ = Maximum value of electric field

Intensity of electromagnetic field is given as

I = (0.5) ε₀ E₀² c

1400 =  (0.5) (8.85 x 10⁻¹²) (3 x 10⁸) E₀²

E₀ = 1027 N/C

B₀ = maximum value of magnetic field

using the equation

E₀ = B₀ c

1027 = B₀ (3 x 10⁸)

B₀ = 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T
