An electromagnetic wave of wavelength 435 nm is traveling in vacuum in the —z direction. The electric field has an amplitude of
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) 6.9*10^14 Hz

b) 9*10^-12 T

Explanation:

From the question, we know that

435 nm is given as the wavelength of the wave, at the same time, we also know that the amplitude of the electric field, E(max) has been given to be 2.7*10^-3 V/m

a)

To find the frequency of the wave, we would be applying this formula

c = fλ, where c = speed of light

f = c/λ

f = 3*10^8 / 435*10^-9

f = 6.90*10^14 Hz

b) again, to find the amplitude of the magnetic field, we would use this relation

E(max) = B(max) * c, magnetic field amplitude, B(max) =

B(max) = E(max)/c

B(max) = 2.7*10^-3 / 3*10^8

B(max) = 9*10^-12 T

c) and lastly,

1T = 1 (V.s/m^2)

At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line is:

x = x0 + v * t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, we will consider the start of the ramp as the origin of our reference system so that x0 = 0.

Now, let´s calculate the speed of the person walking on the ground:

x = v * t

120 m = v * 72 s

v = 120 m / 72 s

v = 1.7 m/s

If you walk on the ramp with that speed, your total speed will be your walking speed plus the speed of the ramp because both are in the same direction. Then, using the equation for the position:

x = v * t

In this case, v = speed of the ramp + walking speed

v = 2.2 m/s + 1.7 m/s = 3.9 m/s

120 m = 3.9 m/s * t

t = 120 m / 3.9 m/s = 30.8 s

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m

A stone is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 105 m from the base of the building. Ignore a
aalyn [17]

Answer:

A) t = 4.40 s , B)   v = 23.86 m / s ,  c)  v_y = - 43.12 m / s , D)  v = 49.28 m/s

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise,

A) To know the time of the stone in the air, let's find the time it takes to reach the floor

          y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

as the stone is thrown horizontally  v_{oy} = 0

          y = y₀ - ½ g t²

          0 = y₀ - ½ g t²

          t = √ (2 y₀ / g)

          t = √ (2 95 / 9.8)

          t = 4.40 s

B) what is the horizontal velocity of the body

          v = x / t

          v = 105 / 4.40

          v = 23.86 m / s

C) The vertical speed when it touches the ground

          v_y = v_{oy} - g t

          v_y = 0 - 9.8 4.40

          v_y = - 43.12 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the speed is down

D) total velocity just hitting the ground

          v = vₓ i ^ + v_y j ^

          v = 23.86 i ^ - 43.12 j ^

Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the modulus

          v = √ (vₓ² + v_y²)

          v = √ (23.86² + 43.12²)

           v = 49.28 m / s

we use trigonometry for the angle

          tan θ = v_y / vₓ

          θ = tan⁻¹ (-43.12 / 23.86)

            θ = -61
