<h2>Answer: The Medium  </h2><h2 />

<u>The medium is the main factor that differentiates a mechanical wave from an electromagnetic wave,</u> since the first can not propagate without its existence, while the second can propagate regardless of whether the medium exists or not.  

In addition, it is the medium that will define, the propagation speed of the wave, according to its specific physical characteristics.

Estimate the inductance L of a coil that is 12 cm long, made of about 235 copper-wire turns and a diameter of about 1.7 cm. Show
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Inductance as calculated is 13.12 mH

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the coil, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Diameter, d = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

No. of turns, N = 235

Now,

Area of cross-section of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4} = \frac{\pi \times 0.017^{2}}{4} = 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

We know that the inductance of the coil is given by the formula:

L = \frac{mu_{o}AN^{2}}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\times 235^{2}}{0.12} = 1.312\times 10^{- 4}\ H = 13.12\ mH

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

amm1812

Answer:

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.
