Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. this means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only trough air and solid materials, but also trough the vacuum of space.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2

I=534.375\ kg m^2

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2

K.E=46880620.9\ J

K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J

K.E =46.88\ MJ

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel  would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}

t=4189.45\ sec

t=1.163\ hours

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

An electron is travelling in a straight line with a kinetic energy K = 1.60 x 10^-17J. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the di
faust18 [17]

Answer:

(a) 1000 N/C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of electron, K = 1.6 x 10^-17 J

distance, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Let the potential difference is V and the electric field is E.

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the potential difference is

K = e V

V = K / e

Where, e be the electronic charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

V = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-17}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

V = 100 V

The relation between the electric field and the potential difference is given by

V = E x d

100 = E x 0.1

E = 1000 N/C

(b) The force acting on the electron, F = q E

where q be the charge on electron

So, F = -e x E

It means the direction of electric field and the force are both opposite to each other.

The direction of electric field and the force on electron is shown in the diagram.

A lamp can work on 50V mains taking 2 amps. What value of resistance must be connected in series with it, so that it can be oper
wolverine [178]
The resistance of the lamp is apparently  50V/2A  =  25 ohms.

When the circuit is fed with more than 50V, we want to add
another resistor in series with the 25-ohm lamp so that the
current through the combination will be 2A.

In order for 200V to cause 2A of current, the total resistance
must be      200V/2A = 100 ohms.

The lamp provides 25 ohms, so we want to add another 75 ohms 
in series with the lamp.  Then the total resistance of the circuit is
(75 + 25) = 100 ohms, and the current is 200V/100 ohms = 2 Amps.

The power delivered by the 200V mains is (200V) x (2A) = 400 watts.

The lamp dissipates ( I² · R ) = (2² · 25 ohms) = 100 watts.

The extra resistor dissipates  ( I² · R) = (2² · 75 ohms) = 300 watts.

Together, they add up to the 400 watts delivered by the mains.

CAUTION:
300 watts is an awful lot of power for a resistor to dissipate !
Those little striped jobbies can't do it. 
It has to be a special 'power resistor'. 
300 watts is even an unusually big power resistor.
If this story actually happened, it would be cheaper, easier,
and safer to get three more of the same kind of lamp, and
connect THOSE in series for 100 ohms.  Then at least the
power would all be going to provide some light, and not just
wasted to heat the room with a big moose resistor that's too
hot to touch.
