What is an event horizon? Does our Sun have an event horizon around it?

Physics
1 answer:
STatiana [176]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The event horizon of a black hole can be thought of either as the place around the black hole where the speed you need to escape becomes greater than the speed of light or as the place where the warping of spacetime around a collapsed star becomes so great that all straight lines pointing outward actually become curved paths bringing you back in. Only black holes have event horizons, so our Sun, which is a star in happy main-sequence equilibrium, cannot have one.

Which statement describes the speed of electromagnetic waves?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Their speed in a vacuum is a constant value.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consits of oscillations of electric field and magnetic field. The oscillations of these fields occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves, so they are transverse wave. Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel through a vacuum. In a vacuum, their speed is constant and has always the same value, the speed of light:

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

As your hand moves back and forth to generate longitudinal pulses in a spiral spring, your hand completes 2.91 back-and-forth cy
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=0.011\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s

The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s

To find,

Wavelength

Solution,

Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,

f=\dfrac{2.91}{3.67}=0.79\ Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.00925\ m/s}{0.79\ Hz}

\lambda=0.011\ m

So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A dog runs 30 feet to the north then 5 feet to the south what is the displacement of the dog
Nuetrik [128]
To look for displacement, just draw a vector from your beginning stage to your last position and settle for the length of this line. So we begin by drawing a line to the north which is 30 ft, since it is north, the line is going up, then it move 5 ft to the south, so put a line going down, so we are in 25 ft, North so that would be the answer.

A wire that is 0.65 m long and carrying a current of 8.2 A is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The force on the wire
Luda [366]

Answer:

0.075 T

Explanation:

When a current-carrying wire is immersed in a region with magnetic field, the wire experiences a force, given by

F=ILB sin \theta

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the strength of the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the direction of I and B

In this problem we have:

L = 0.65 m is the length of the wire

I = 8.2 A is the current in the wire

F = 0.40 N is the force experienced by the wire

\theta=90^{\circ} since the current is at right angle with the magnetic field

Solving the formula for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

B=\frac{F}{IL sin \theta}=\frac{0.40}{(8.2)(0.65)(sin 90^{\circ})}=0.075 T
