An electromagnetic wave is propagating towards the west. At a certain moment the direction of the magnetic field vector associat

ed with this wave points vertically up. The direction of the electric field vector of this wave is:___________
Physics

Answer:

either +z direction or -z direction.

Explanation:

The direction of the electric field, in an electromagnetic wave always is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of propagation of the wave.

You assume a system of coordinates with the negative x axis as the west direction, and the y axis as the up direction

In this case, the wave is propagating toward the west (- x direction), and the magnetic field vector points up (+ y direction), then, it is mandatory that the electric field vector points either +z direction or -z direction.

A golf ball (mass 0.045 kg) is hit with a club from a tee. The plot shows the force on the ball as a function of time in millise
almond37 [142]

Answer:

16.3 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of golf ball=m=0.045 kg

We have to find the speed right after the hit.

b_1=(16-1)\times 10^{-3}=15\times 10^{-3} s

b_2=(12-6)\times 10^{-3}=6\times 10^{-3} s

Force,F=70 N

Change in momentum=Area of trapezium

Area of trapezium,A=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2) h

Using the formula

m(v-u)=\frac{1}{2}(15+6)\times 10^{-3}\times 70

0.045(v-u)=\frac{1}{2}(21)\times 10^{-3}\times 70

v-u=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{0.045}\times 21\times 10^{-3}\times 70

v-u=16.3

Initial velocity of golf ball=u=0

v-0=16.3

v=16.3 m/s

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back. What is their displacement?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.

The amount of sea ice and permafrost have steadily decreased near Shishmaref, Alaska, over the last century. The loss of ice has
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Climate change, where there is an increase in the average temperature, due to continuous human activities. These activities increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and it has a cold climate. The climate changed over time as human activities such as coal mining contributed to greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. Over the years. the variations in weather leading to climate change melt the permafrost (frozen ground below the soil surface) causing ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property.

Rock salt contains sand and salt. A student mixed rock salt in warm water. Describe how the student would separate out the sand,
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, he can add the rock salt to the water and mix it well. Then he can remove the sand by decantation, after the sand has sedimented. He can seperate the water from the salt by evaporation. He should evaporate the water completely and capture the steam. the steam will cool into water. After evaporating completely, the salt will remain in the container

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N
