What is characteristic of both sound waves and electromagnetic waves?

Physics

Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago

Sound waves are mechanical waves while electromagnetic waves are not. Thus, sound waves require a medium for propagation while electromagnetic waves do not. Sound waves are produced by mechanical vibrations and propagate through liquid, air and plasma as longitudinal waves. While electromagnetic waves are <span>produced by </span>accelerating or decelerating<span> charged particles. It also contain a</span> <span>magnetic field. Because they are not mechanical waves, it can propagate through a vacuum as well as air, liquid, and solid.</span>

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis
solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equalsT=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals 39.66m/s

A bike is traveling to the left with the speed of 27 m/s when the rider slams on the brakes. The bike skids for 41.5 m with the
Darina [25.2K]

The acceleration of the bike is equal to 8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}} opposing the movement (to the right).

Why?

Since after the rider slams the brakes, the bike came to a stop, we know that the acceleration is opposite to the velocity/movement.

We can use the following equation to calculate the acceleration:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*d

So, substituting, we have: (let's consider negative to the left and positive to the right)

0=(-27\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+2*a*41.5m\\\\0=729\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+83*a\\\\a=\frac{-729\frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}}{83m}=-8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The negative sign means that the acceleration's direction is opposite to the movement.

Hence, we have that the acceleration is equal to 8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}} opposing the movement (to the right).

Have a nice day!

Which statement best describes a difference between the trachea and the esophagus?
Usimov [2.4K]

The trachea allows for the passage of air, and the esophagus allows for the passage of food

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The trachea and the esophagus are not the same. The former is related with the respiratory system which is related with breathing while the latter is related with the digestive system.

The trachea connects the upper airways to the lungs for the passing of the air but the esophagus is related with the passage of the food connecting the mouth with the stomach.
