EM waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields moving perpendicular with respect to each other. What kind of wave is

it?

-Compressional waves

Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction
satela [25.4K]
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.

g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the
Mademuasel [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

m_s = 1.989*10^{30}

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

r = 149.6*10^9m

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}

d = 6.2*149.6*10^6

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}

T = 120290789.7s

T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})

T \approx 3.8143 years

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em> 3980.89 ohms</em>

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = 40 * 10^{-6}F

Substitute into the formula:

X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c =  \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89

<em>Hence the  total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms</em>

un litro de un gas es calentado a presión constante desde 20°C hasta 60°C que volumen final ocupará dicho gas? ​
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 1 litre

Initial temperature, T1 = 20°C

Final temperature, T2 = 60°C

To find the final volume, we would use Charles' law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = (V1T2)/T1

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V2 = (1 * 60)/20

V2 = 60/20

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres
