Answer: The correct answer is "electromagnetic wave".

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves: These waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles. But the mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude.

Electromagnetic wave does not need a medium while the mechanical wave needs a medium to travel.

The electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of the light. The example of electromagnetic wave is light.

Mechanical waves are of two types: Longitudinal wave and Transverse.

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Therefore, Light travels as an electromagnetic wave.

The correct answer is electromagnetic. Lights travel as an electromagnetic wave. In fact, light is an electromagnetic radiation which has a center of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is visible to the naked eye, and is responsible for an organism's sense of sight.

A 25 kg child stands 2.5 m from the center of a frictionless merry‐go‐round, which has a 200 kg*m^2 moment of inertia and is spi
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Time period  T = 2 s

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T

=  2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²

= 200 + 25 x 2.5²

=356.25

Final moment of inertia

I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5

= 256.25

b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum

I₁ X ω₁ =  I₂ X ω₂

ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂

Putting the values

w_2=\frac{356.25\times3.14}{256.25}

ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹

c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy

=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² -  1/2 I₁ X ω₁²

.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²

= 684.95 J

This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.

Una caja de 5.0kg de masa se acelera desde el reposo a través del piso mediante una fuerza a una tasa de 2.0 /s2 durante 7.0s en
Nady [450]

Responder:

<h2>490 julios </h2>

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando una fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva a través de una distancia. El trabajo realizado por un cuerpo se expresa mediante la fórmula;

Workdone = Fuerza * Distancia

Como Fuerza = masa * aceleración,

Workdone = masa * aceleración * distancia

Masa dada = 5.0kg, aceleración = 2.0m / s² d =?

Para obtener d, usaremos una de las leyes del movimiento,

d = ut + 1 / 2at²

u = 0 (ya que el cuerpo acelera desde el reposo) yt = 7.0s

d = 0 + 1/2 (2) (7) ²

d = 49m

Workdone = 5 * 2 * 49

Workdone = 490 Julios
