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 diver 40 m deep in 10 degrees C fresh water exhales a 1.5 cm diameter bubble.
zzz [600]

Answer:

0.0257259766982 m

Explanation:

P_2 = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

d_1 = Initial diameter = 1.5 cm

d_2 = Final diameter

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

h = Depth = 40 m

The pressure is

P_1=P_2+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow P_1=101325+1000\times 9.81\times 40\\\Rightarrow P_1=493725\ Pa

From ideal gas law we have

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{P_1d_1^3T_2}{P_2T_1})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{493725\times 0.015^3\times (20+273.15)}{101325\times (10+273.15)})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=0.0257259766982\ m

The diameter of the bubble is 0.0257259766982 m

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Luden [163]

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0510 Ω and is supplied by a 12.0 V battery with a 0.0090 Ω interna
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

a) 200A

b) 10.2V

c) 2.04kW

d)

I=80A

V=4.08V

P=0.326kW

Explanation:

Here we have a circuit of one power source and two resistors in series, the first question is asking for the current, so according to Ohm's Law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where R is the equivalent resistance of the resistors in series

R=0.0510+0.0090=0.0600[ohm]

I=\frac{12.0}{0.0600}=200A

To calculate the voltage dropped by the motor we have to apply the voltage divider rule:

V_m=V*\frac{R_m}{R_m+R_s}\\V_m=12.0*\frac{0.0510}{0.0600}\\V_m=10.2V

The power dissipated supplied to the motor is given by:

P=I^2*R_m\\P=(200)^2*0.0510=2.04kW

now solving adding a 0.0900 ohm resistor:

I=\frac{12.0}{0.15}=80A

V_m=12.0*\frac{0.0510}{0.15}\\V_m=4.08V

P=I^2*R_m\\P=(200)^2*0.0510=0.326kW

Why is there a wet climate on the windward side of a tall mountain and a dry climate on the leeward side?
Eduardwww [97]

One side of the mountain that has constant wind and rain blowing onto it, is more likely to catch what is falling than the other side leaving it dryer.
