What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter?

2 answers:

5 0

Electromagnetic radiation is one of the many ways that energy travels through space. The heat from a burning fire, the light from the sun, the X-rays used by your doctor, as well as the energy used to cook food in a microwave are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. While these forms of energy might seem quite different from one another, they are related in that they all exhibit wavelike properties.

Answer:

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.

La superficie de unas botas suman 400 cm2 y la persona que las usa tiene 45 kg de masa, calcula la presión que ejerce sobre el p

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

11025 N / m²

Explanation:

Los siguientes datos se obtuvieron de la pregunta:

Área (A) = 400 cm²

Masa (m) = 45 Kg

Aceleración por gravedad (g) = 9,8 m / s²

Presión (P) =?

A continuación, determinaremos la fuerza aplicada. Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

Masa (m) = 45 Kg

Aceleración por gravedad (g) = 9,8 m / s²

Fuerza (F) =.?

F = m × g

F = 45 × 9,8

F = 441 N

A continuación, convertiremos 400 cm² a m². Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

1 cm² = 0,0001 m²

Por lo tanto,

400 cm² = 400 cm² × 0,0001 m² / 1 cm²

400 cm² = 0,04 m²

Por tanto, 400 cm² equivalen a 0,04 m².

Finalmente, determinaremos la presión ejercida de la siguiente manera:

Área (A) = 0.04 m².

Fuerza (F) = 441 N

Presión (P) =?

P = F / A

P = 441 / 0,04

P = 11025 N / m²

Por tanto, la presión ejercida es 11025 M / m²

What is the natural frequency (wo) of a circuit that has an inductor of 0.048 henery's, and a capacitor of 0.0004 farads?

adell [148]

Answer:

The natural frequency will be 228.11 rad/sec

Explanation:

We have given Inductance L = 0.048 Henry

And the capacitance C = 0.0004 farad

We have to find natural frequency

When only inductor and capacitor is present in the circuit then it is known as LC circuit and Natural frequency of LC circuit is given by $\omega _0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.048\times 0.0004}}=228.21\ rad/sec$

So the natural frequency will be 228.21

A heat engine has a maximum possible efficiency of 0.780. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of-24.8

Volgvan

Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

$\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}$

where,

$\eta$ = efficiency = 0.780

$T_h$ = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

$T_c$ = Temperature of cold reservoir = $-24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}$

$T_h=1128.18K$

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.
