How do mechanical and electromagnetic waves differ?

Physics
2 answers:
Gala2k [10]3 years ago

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 through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not... The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave...

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?
AnnyKZ [126]

To answer this question, it helps enormously if you know
the formula for momentum:

           Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

Looking at the formula, you can see that momentum is directly
proportional to speed.  So if speed doubles, so does momentum.

If the car's momentum is 20,000 kg-m/s now, then after its speed
doubles, its momentum has also doubled, to 40,000 kg-m/s.

a0.155 kg arrow is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s. what is its kinetic energy (ke) when it is 30.0 m above the groun
swat32

The kinetic energy (KE) of a 0.155 kg arrow that is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s, when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J

Assuming air friction is negligible,

a = - 9.8 m / s²

u = 31.4 m / s

s = 30 m

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 31.4² + ( 2 * - 9.8 * 30 )

v² = 985.96 - 588

v² = 397.96 m / s

KE = 1 / 2 m v²

KE = 1 / 2 * 0.155 * 397.96

KE = 0.0775 * 397.96

KE = 30.85 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy ( KE ) when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the billiard ball 1, u = 30i cm/s

Initial speed of another billiard ball 2, u' = 40j cm/s

After the collision,

Final speed of first ball, v = 50 cm/s

Final speed of second ball, v' = 0 (as it stops)

Let us consider that both balls have same mass i.e. m

Initial kinetic energy of the system is :

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mu'^2\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2+u'^2)\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}m((30)^2+(40)^2)\\\\K_i=1250m\ J

Final kinetic energy of the system is :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2\\\\K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2+v'^2)\\\\K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m((50)^2+(0)^2)\\\\K_f=1250m\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is equal to the difference of final and initial kinetic energy as :

\Delta K=K_f-K_i\\\\\Delta K=1250m-1250m\\\\\Delta K=0

So, the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision is equal to 0.
