In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves similar? In what ways are they different?

1 answer:

3 0

Electromagnetic waves are usually transverse waves whilst sound wave are longitudinal waves. Furthermore, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel in unlike sound waves which needs solid, liquid or gas mediums.

Two objects separated by a distance r are each carrying a charge q The magnitude of the force exerted on the second object by th

Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that

loris [4]

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

$T=2.08s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train $V=3.0m.s$

Angle $\theta=12\textdegree$

Height of window $h_w=0.90m$

Width of window $w_w=2.0m$

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

$b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}$

$b=4.23$

Therefore

Distance from A-A

$d_a=2.0+4.23$

$d_a=6.23$

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

$T=\frac{d_a}{v}$

$T=\frac{6.23}{3}$

$T=2.08s$

A 0.18-kg turntable of radius 0.32 m spins about a vertical axis through its center. A constant rotational acceleration causes t

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Angular acceleration will be $18.84rad/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given that mass m = 0.18 kg

Radius r = 0.32 m

Initial angular velocity $\omega _i=0rev/sec$

And final angular velocity $\omega _f=24rev/sec$

Time is given as t = 8 sec

From equation of motion

We know that $\omega _f=\omega _i+\alpha t$

$24=0+\alpha \times 8$

$\alpha =3rev/sec^2=3\times 2\times \pi rad/sec^2=18.84rad/sec^2$

So angular acceleration will be $18.84rad/sec^2$

24 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TEA [102]

Potential Energy (Initial one) = m * g * h
P.E. = 60 * 9.8 * 10
P.E. = 5880

Kinetic Energy (Final One) = 1/2 mv²
K.E. = 1/2 * 60 * (10)²
K.E. = 6000/2
K.E. = 3000

Lost Energy = 5880 - 3000 = 2880 J

In short, Your Answer would be 2880 Joules

Hope this helps!

Which of the following are true about a "simple compressible system"? It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxyge

fomenos

Explanation:

The volume of a simple compressible system is not fixed. At a state of equilibrium, there should be uniformity in the entire system.

From the question we have here, these are the correct options:

1. It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxygen and nitrogent)

2. It can be composed of any phases of a substance: solid, liquid, and/or gas

3. It's state is specified if given two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties.
