If the radiant energy from the Sun comes in as a plane EM wave of intensity 1340 W/m2, calculate the peak values of E and B

Physics

Nastasia [14]2 years ago

Answer:

Given that

I = 1340 W/m²

µo = 4πx 10^-7 Tm/A

sc = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So to find the peak values of B we use

I = (c Bm²) / (2 µo)

1340 = (3 x 10^8 x Bm²) / (2 x 4πx 10^-7)

1340 = (3 x 10^8 x Bm²) / (25.12 x 10^-7)

(3 x 10^8 x Bm²) = 1340 x (25.12 x 10^-7)

(3 x 10^8 x Bm²) = 3.366 x 10^-3

Bm² = 3.366 x 10^-3 / 3 x 10^8

Bm² = 1.122 x 10^-11

Bm = 3.4 x 10^-6 T

Also to find the peak values of E we

use Em = c x Bm

Em = (3 x 10^8) (3.4 x 10^-6)

Em = 1.005 N/C

A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: 6.36

Explanation:

Given

Radius of grindstone, r = 4 m

Initial angular speed of grindstone, w(i) = 8 rad/s

Final angular speed of the grindstone, w(f) = 12 rad/s

Time used, t = 4 s

Angular acceleration of the grinder,

α = Δw / t

α = w(f) - w(i) / t

α = (12 - 8) / 4

α = 4/4 = 1 rad/s²

Number of complete revolution in 4s =

Δθ = w(i).t + 1/2.α.t²

Δθ = 8 * 4 + 1/2 * 1 * 4²

Δθ = 32 + 1/2 * 16

Δθ = 32 + 8

Δθ = 40 rad/s

40 rad/s = 40/2π rpm = 6.36 rpm

Therefore, the grindstone does 6.36 revolutions during the 4 s interval

When a wave enters a new medium from an angle, both the speed and the ________ change
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.

A 2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.5 kg cart that is initially held at rest. The carts
Inga [223]

Answer:

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

mass m1 = 2.3 kg

mass m2 = 1.5 kg

final velocity V2 = 4.9 m/s

final velocity V3 = - 1.9 m/s

to find out

total momentum  and velocity of the first cart

solution

we know mass and final velocty

and initial velocity of second cart V1 = 0

so now we can calculate total momentum that is m1 v2 + m2 v2

total momentum =  2.3 ×4.9 + 1.5 ×(-1.9)

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

and

conservation of momentum  is

m1 V + m2 v1  = m1 v2  + m2 v3

put all value and find V

2.3 V + 1.5 ( 0) = 2.3 ( 4.9 ) + 1.5 ( -1.9)

V = 8.42 / 2.3

V = 3.660 m/s

so velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s
