Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy True or False

Physics
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
7 0

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k =  6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance  due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?​
leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.

The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for
pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v )  = 20.5 mi/h  = 9.164  M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter                                       ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v²  = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J  = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 )   =  3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter
