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.

Two blocks are connected by a massless rope that passes over a 1 kg pulley with a radius of 12 cm. The rope moves over the pulle
tangare [24]

Answer:

F=1.159

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass of pulley M=1kg

Radius r=12cm

Mass of block A M_a=2.1kg

Mass of block B m_b=4.1kg

Spring constant\mu= 358 J/m2

Generally the equation for Torque is mathematically given by

Since \sumF=ma

At mass A

 T_2-f_3=2.1a

At mass B

 4.8-T_1=4.1a

At  Pulley

 R(T_1-T_2)=\frac{1*1*R^2}{2}\frac{a}{R}

 R(T_1-T_2)=0.55a

Therefore the equation for total force F

At mass A+At mass B+At  Pulley

 (T_2-f_3+4.8-T_1+R(T_1-T_2)=2.1a+4.1a+0.55a

 (T_2-f_3+4.8-T_1+R(T_1-T_2)=2.7a+4.8a+0.55a

 -f_3+4.1=6.75a

 -f_3=6.75a+4.8

Since From above equation

M_{eff}=6.7kg

Therefore

T=2\pi \sqrt{{\frac{M_{eff}}{k}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{{\frac{6.75}{\mu}}

T=0.862s

Generally the equation for frequency is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{T} \\F=\frac{1}{0.862}

F=1.159

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t
belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = \sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

A person is listening with his ear against the rail for an oncoming train. When the train is 1.65 km away, how long will it take
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.65km to meters = 1.65 * 1000 = 1650 meters

We know that the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5200m/s

To find the time to hear the sound of the whistle;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have

Time = 1650/5200

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Therefore, it will take him 0.317 seconds to hear the sound of the whistle.
