What waves need molecules in order to transfer energy

1 answer:

nevsk [136]2 years ago

Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are periodic oscillations, that carry energy, but not matter.

Waves are classified into two types:

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, which can oscillate along the direction of propagation of the wave (longitudinal wave) or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). These waves can only propagate in a medium, so they cannot travel in a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves. They are the only type of wave able to propagate through a vacuum (so, through space).

Therefore, the waves that need molecules in order to transfer energy are mechanical waves.

In the model of the hydrogen atom due to Niels Bohr, the electron moves around the proton at a speed of 3.3 × 106 m/s in a circl

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

Explanation:

q = Charge of proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Radius of circle = $5.7\times 10^{-11}\ m$

v = Velocity of proton = $3.3\times 10^6\ m/s$

Magnetic moment is given by

$M=\frac{1}{2}qrv\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.7\times 10^{-11}\times 3.3\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow M=1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

The magnetic moment associated with this motion is $1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

A body is dropped from the roof of a 20 m high building by how much:

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

Height (h) = 20 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = ?
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

$\boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}$

Replace:

$\boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}$

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

$\boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}$

The square root is performed:

$\boxed{t=2.01s}$

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

Vf = g * t

Replace:

Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

A single-turn circular loop of radius 6 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnit

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The current is $I = 6.68 \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the loop is $r = 6 \ cm = 0.06 \ m$

The earth's magnetic field is $B_e = 0.7G= 0.7 G * \frac{1*10^{-4} T}{1 G} = 0.7 *10^{-4} T$

The number of turns is $N =1$

Generally the magnetic field generated by the current in the loop is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o * N * I}{2 r }$

Now for the earth's magnetic field to be canceled out the magnetic field generated by the loop must be equal to the magnetic field out the earth

$B = B_e$

=> $B_e = \frac{\mu_o * N * I }{ 2 * r}$

Where $\mu$ is the permeability of free space with value $\mu _o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

$0.7 *10^{-4}= \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1 * I}{2 * 0.06}$

=> $I = \frac{2 * 0.06 * 0.7 *10^{-4}}{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1}$

$I = 6.68 \ A$
