Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

n electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 611 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the corresponding magnet
enot [183]

Answer:

The  corresponding  magnetic field is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The electric field amplitude is  E_o   =  611\  V/m

   

Generally the  magnetic  field amplitude is  mathematically represented as

              B_o  =  \frac{E_o }{c }

Where c is the speed of light with a constant value

         c = 3.0 *0^{8} \ m/s

So  

        B_o   =  \frac{611 }{3.0*10^{8}}

         B_o   =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \  Vm^{-2} s

Since 1  T  is  equivalent to  V  m^{-2} \cdot  s

         B_o  =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ T

It is said that a gas fills all the space available to it. Why then doesn't the atmosphere go off into space?
Alex777 [14]
Earth has its own atmosphere. That is one reason all the water that has been on Earth has been recycled through the water cycle. It never leaves Earth’s atmosphere.

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?
tino4ka555 [31]
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.

2.- Si una cámara fotográfica emite un pulso de sonido para enfocar un objeto, determinar
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a. El tiempo de recorrido es 5.882\times 10^{-3} segundos para un objeto localizado a un metro de distancia de la cámara fotográfica.

b. El tiempo de recorrido es 0.118 segundos para un objeto localizado a un metro de distancia de la cámara fotográfica.

Explanation:

El sonido es un tipo de onda mecánica, que es un tipo de onda que necesita de un medio material para propagarse. En este caso, entendemos que el sonido se propaga a través del aire atmosférico hasta llegar a su destino y devolverse a rapidez constante. Entonces, podemos estimar el tiempo (t), medido en segundos, a partir de la siguiente fórmula:

t = \frac{2\cdot x_{s}}{v_{s}}

Donde:

x_{s} - Distancia entre la cámara fotográfica y el objeto, medida en metros.

v_{s} - Rapidez del sonido en el aire atmosférico, medida en metros por segundo.

A continuación, calculamos el tiempo de recorrido:

a. (x_{s} = 1\,m, v_{s} = 340\,\frac{m}{s})

t = \frac{2\cdot (1\,m)}{340\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 5.882\times 10^{-3}\,s

El tiempo de recorrido es 5.882\times 10^{-3} segundos para un objeto localizado a un metro de distancia de la cámara fotográfica.

b. (x_{s} = 20\,m, v_{s} = 340\,\frac{m}{s})

t = \frac{2\cdot (20\,m)}{340\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 0.118\,s

El tiempo de recorrido es 0.118 segundos para un objeto localizado a un metro de distancia de la cámara fotográfica.
