All electromagnetic waves have the same speed when they're all in the same medium.

Note: Sound waves don't belong on this list, because they're not electromagnetic waves. The speed of sound in air is only about 0.0001 percent of the speed of electromagnetic waves in air.

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87° from the direction of th
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, \theta=87

Charge, q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB\ sin\theta

B is the magnetic field  

B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}

B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the measured value always positive from one point to another
LekaFEV [45]
It is called "distance". In fact, distance measures how far apart two points are from each other, and it is always a positive number.
In mathematics, for instance, the distance between two points of coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a xy-plane is defined as
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}
and by definition, this number is always positive.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Which two options are forms of kinetic energy?
juin [17]

Answer:

B. Thermal energy

E. Sound energy

Explanation:

Thermal and sound energy is kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy that results as a function of the motion of a body or the particles of the medium.

Sound energy is transmitted by the vibration of the particles in the air. The vibration leads to movement of the particles and hence, kinetic energy is produced.

Thermal energy originates as a result of the temperature differences in a body. This temperature difference leads to the increase in the kinetic energy of some particles which also causes vibration and motion of the particles.

Which of the following statements regarding heuristics and empiricism is true? A. Heuristics allows a priori theoretical concep
WITCHER [35]

Answer: <em>Option (A) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

A heuristic is  often referred to as an approach to solving problems or discovery that subjects a method, which is considered to be practical although might not be guaranteed to be perfect, optimal, or rational, but sufficient for reaching to goal.

Empiricism is known as a theory under which one can states that knowledge can only be imparted from the sensory experience. It is considered to be one of the main notions underlying in epistemology, i.e. known as the study of human knowledge, alongside skepticism and rationalism.
