Answer:
a) 0.25m
b) 5 m/s
Explanation:
When the spring is compressed both boxes are moving with the same velocity, so applying the principle of linear momentum conservation:
Now applying the principle of energy conservation:
We got that the maximum compression is 0.25m.
The first thing you should know is that acceleration is a vector, therefore, it has magnitude, and direction.
By definition, we have that the vector acceleration is given by:
Where,
dv/dt: derived from the velocity vector with respect to time,
Therefore, the units of the vector acceleration are:
The symbol of acceleration is:
Answer:
The statements about acceleration that are true are:
a. the si units of acceleration are m/s2.
b. for acceleration, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
d. the symbol for acceleration is (True, only if the symbol is the same as above)
Answer:
(a) False
(b) True
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True
(f) True
Explanation:
(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.
(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.
(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of to the direction of wave propagation.
(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.
(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:
Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.
(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.
