Classify the waves as being mechanical or electromagnetic. microwave ocean wave seismic wave radio wave

Physics
1 answer:
vovangra [49]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em>Micro waves and radio waves are electromagnetic </em><em>waves while </em><em>ocean wave  and seismic wave are mechanical waves. </em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for propagation. They can travel along vacuum just like they travel through matter.

Further examples of electromagnetic waves are x rays, infrared waves etc.

Spectrum of electromagnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency is radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet, x ray, gamma ray.

Mechanical waves require a medium for propagation. Thus they cannot travel through a vacuum.

Sound wave is an example of mechanical wave.

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m
Damm [24]

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

A spacecraft is fueled using hydrazine (N2H4; molecular weight of 32 grams per mole [g/mol]) and carries 1640 kilograms [kg] of
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The value is t = 689.029 \  hours

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The molar mass of hydrazine is Z =  32 g/mol = \frac{32}{1000} = 0.032 \  kg/mol

The initial temperature is T_i  =  -186 ^o F = (-186-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 152\ K

The final temperature is T_f  =  78 ^o F = (78-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 298.7 \ K

The specific heat capacity is c_h  =  0.099 [kJ/(mol K)] = 0.099 *10^3 J/(mol/K)

The power available is P = 300 \ W

The mass of the fuel is m =   1640 \  kg

Generally the number of moles of hydrazine present is

n  =  \frac{m}{Z}

=> n  =  \frac{1640}{= 0.032}

=> n  =  51250 \ mol

Generally the quantity of heat energy needed is mathematically represented as

Q =  n * c_h * (T_f -T_i)

=> Q =  51250  * 0.099 *10^3  * (298.7 - 152)

=> Q =  7.441516913 * 10^{8} \  J

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{Q}{P}

=> t =  \frac{7.441516913 * 10^{8} }{300}

=> t = 2480505.6377 s

Converting to hours

t = \frac{2480505.6377}{3600}

=> t = 689.029 \  hours

Question 10 of 34
labwork [276]

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4  \ block /min

Hence option B is correct.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to ohm's law, the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current is that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage over resistance.

Mathematically,           I = \frac{V}{R}

From this relationship we can see that when we decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. As current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
