I’ll refer to electromagnetic radiation as EMR.

Visible light is a very small subset of EMR. Many other ranges like infrared, ultraviolet, or gamma must be detected by special equipment.


EMR is what makes up light, and as we know from any high school physics class, light exhibits both particle-like properties (photoelectric effect and Compton scattering) and wave-like properties (refraction, diffraction, double-slit & single-slit experiment).

EMR can travel without a medium, like the vast emptiness of space. It can also travel with a medium. It can transmit through various materials albeit at a slower speed, like water, earth’s atmosphere, glass etc.

The propagation speed of EMR in space is 3x10^8 m/s, which is a speed unattainable by any of our current means of transportation. I would say that’s quite fast.

uniformly charged conducting sphere of 1.2 m diameter has surface charge density 8.1 mC/m2. Find (a) the net charge on the spher
Stels [109]

Answer:

(a) = 3.7 × 10⁻⁵

(b) = 4.1 × 10⁻⁶ N.M²/C

Explanation:

(a) Diameter of the sphere, d = 1.2 m

Radius of the sphere, r = 0.6 m

Surface charge density, = 8.1 mC/m2 = 8.1 × 10⁻⁶ C/m²

Total charge on the surface of the sphere,

Q = Charge density × Surface area

    = 4πr²σ

   = 4 (3.14) (0.12²) (8.1 × 10⁻⁶)

   = 3.66 × 10⁻⁵C

   ≅ 3.7 × 10⁻⁵C

Therefore, the net charge on the sphere is  3.7 × 10⁻⁵C

(b)

Total electric flux (∅)

=Q / ε₀

ε₀ =  8.854 × 10⁻¹² N⁻¹C² m⁻²

Q =   3.66 × 10⁻⁵C

 =  3.66 × 10⁻⁵ / 8.854 × 10⁻¹²

= 4.1 × 10⁻⁶ N.M²/C

What can geologist infer from the rounded and eroded shapes of the Appalachian Mountain
Delvig [45]
<span>The answer is D. mountains have been eroding for millions of years. The Appalachian Mountains is an older group of fold mountains. It is much older than the Himalays that do not exibit this rounded shape. As tectonic forces enable mountain building, forces of weathering, erosion and mass wasting are constantly eating away at them. </span>

Which is an example of a conceptual model? a a clay car in a wind tunnel b a model of water temperatures in the oceans c a model
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

b a model of water temperatures in the oceans

Explanation:

A conceptual model is a means of representing abstract theories, with the aim of helping the audience form mental pictures about the subject being discussed. Most of these models utilize diagrams to help form a better understanding of the subject.

In geothermal explorations, water temperatures can be represented using plane or cross sectional views to demonstrate the varying temperatures of water. This is a useful guidde in the exploration proceess and helps any who read the illustrations to form a better understanding of the process and conditions.

A rifle that shoots bullets at 471 m/s is to be aimed at a target 46.4 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rif
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The equation that will express this result os

h = 0 = vy t - 1/2 g t^2    so the net height traveled by the bullet is zero

vy t = 1/2 g t^2

vy = 1/2 g t

vy = 1/2 * 9.8 * t       you could use -9.8 to indicate vy and g are in different directions

tx = sx/ vx  = 46.4 / 471 = .0985 sec    time to travel up and down to original height

th = .0985 / 2 = .0493 sec        time to reach maximum height

vy = g ty = 9.8 * .0493 sec = .483 m/s    initial vertical speed

Sy = vy t - 1/2 g t^2 = .483 * .0493 - 1.2 9.8 (.0493^^2)

Sy = .0238 - 4.9 ( .0493)^2 = .0238 - .0119 = .0119 m

Height to which bullet will rise - if the gun is aimed at this height then in .0985 seconds the bullet will fall to zero height

Check:    .483 / 9.8 =  .0493   time to reach zero vertical speed

total travel time = 2 * .0493 = .0986 sec

471 * .0986 = 46.4 m   total distance traveled by bullet
