Answer:

D) True. Explain the oscillation and movement in the direction of the wave

Explanation:

To review the possible answers, let's look at the characteristics of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave has a fluctuating electric field and magnetic field, perpendicular to its direction of movement, these fields interact with the electron by measuring the electric force

The speed of the wave is perpendicular to the fluctuating fields (transverse wave). This wave exerts a radiation pressure on the particles that it finds, in its path, since it carries energy, this pressure is a force that pushes the direction electron The wave is traveling.

Let's check the answers

A) False. The electron will oscillate with the frequency of the wave, but the movement does not explain the direction of the wave

B) False. It is pushed by the radiation pressure, but does not explain the oscillation of the electron

C) False. Does it move

D) True. Explain the oscillation and movement in the direction of the wave

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A) True, B) False, C) False  and  D) false

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem using the law of conservation of energy to know if the statements are true or false

Let's look for mechanical energy

Initial

     Emo = Ke = ½ k Dx2

Final

     Em1= ½ m v12

     Emo = Em1

     ½ k Δx2 = ½ m v₁²

    v₁² = k / m Δx²

    v₁ = √ k/m   Δx

Now let's calculate the speed when it falls

   Vfy² = Voy² - 2gy

   Vfy² = - 2gy

   Vf² = v₁² + vfy²

A) True     v₁ = A Δx

.B) False. As there is no rubbing the mechanical energy conserves

.C) False the velocity is proportional to the square root of the height

     v2y = v2 √2

. D) false promotional compression speed

an open tank has the shape of a right circular cone (see figure). the tank is 8 feet across the top and 6 feet high. how much wo
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The amount of work done in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is 163.01* 10³ ft-lbs.

Given that, the tank is 8 feet across the top and 6 feet high

By the property of similar triangles, 4/6 = r/y

6r = 4y

r = 4/6*y = 2/3*y

Each disc is a circle with area, A = π(2/3*y)² = 4π/9*y²

The weight of each disc is m = ρw* A

m = 62.4* 4π/9*y² = 87.08*y²

The distance pumped is 6-y.

The work done in pumping the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is

W = 87.08 ∫(6-y)y² dy

W = 87.08 ∫(6y³ - y²) dy

W =  87.08 [6y⁴/4 - y³/3]

W =  87.08 [3y⁴/2- y³/3]

The limits are from 0 to 6.

W =  87.08 [3*6⁴/2 - 6³/3] = 87.08* [9*6³ - 2*36] = 87.08(1872) = 163013.76 ft-lbs

The amount of work done in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is 163013.76 ft-lbs.

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 41 m/s
densk [106]

Answer:

-56.9 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = -165 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (-165 m)

v = -56.9 m/s

What do the length of the cord and gravity determine for a pendulum?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:  C

Period/ Period of the pendulum.

Content:  

Simple pendulum is a small diameter bob which is suspended from light cord or string. The string is strong enough to stretch.

Pendulums are quiet common in use such as clocks, swings etc.,

From the simple pendulum we can find conditions under which it performs simple harmonic motion and we can also derive the expressions for Period of pendulum, frequency etc.

<em>Period of a pendulum/Time period is given by the following expression</em>

<em>               </em><em> T =2π.√(L/g) seconds </em>

<em>                 </em><em>T = period of pendulum in seconds</em>

<em>                 L = Length of the string/cord in meters</em>

<em>                 g = gravitational force in m/s²   ( g = 9.8 m/s² )</em>

<em>Period of pendulum is independent on mass of the bob.</em>

<em>So, The relation between length of the cord and gravity is used to determine the period of pendulum</em>
