Answer:

C. light in which the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

Explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave in which electric field vector and magnetic field vector both oscillates perpendicular to each other and also these two components are perpendicular to the propagation of wave.

As we know that the direction of velocity of wave is given by the formula

$\vec E \times \vec B = \vec v$

so here the velocity vector must be perpendicular to vector E and vector B

so here correct answer will be

C. light in which the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

Explain the effects of force giving example

Pie

Answer:

1) Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest):For example, pushing a heavy stone in order to move it. 2) May change the speed of an object if it is already moving. 4) May bring about a change in the shape of an object. For example, blowing air in balloon.

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

The speed of sound at temperature of________in the air is 360m/s.

Aleks04 [339]

Vo= 331+0.6T

360=331+0.6T

360-331=0.6T

29=0.6T

0.6T/29

T=6/290 so change it to simplest form and us formulas good luck

To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeof

il63 [147K]

<h2> The potential and kinetic energy of airplane are affected by these factors </h2>

Explanation:

When airplane rises up , it requires potential energy . This potential energy can be taken from the kinetic energy of airplane .

Thus if the speed of wind is larger , it can either oppose the motion of velocity or can favour the velocity of airplane . By which its kinetic energy is effected .

If the weight of airplane is changed , it will effect the potential energy required . Thus heavier plane requires higher potential energy for attaining the same height .

Thus these two factor has important role in the flight of airplane .

If the electrical field in some region or space is zero, does that imply that there is no electrical charge in that region?

mrs_skeptik [129]

No
It means the resultant electrical charges had canceled each other out so there is no field to be sensed .
