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

it?
-Transverse waves
-Longitudinal waves
-Mechanical waves
-Compressional waves
Physics

Serhud [2]3 years ago
5 0

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.

In a building with 10.000 cubic feet where the air changes every two hours, what the rate of air change? A. 167.7 cfm B. 83.3 cf
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Flow rate of air is given as 83.33 cubic feet per minute

Explanation:

As we know that total volume of the air flow is given as

V = 10,000 cubic feet

also we know that total time is

t = 2 hours = 120 min

now we have flow rate given as

Q = \frac{V}{t}

Q = \frac{10000}{120}

Q = 83.3 cf/m

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by \Delta T is mC\Delta T (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.  

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water

A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 3.40 m before coming into contact
love history [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards

Explanation:

The work beam does on the pile driver is given by

W=(FCos180°)Δx= -F(0.088m)

From work energy theorem

W_{nc}=(KE_{f}-KE_{i})+(PE_{f}-PE_{i})\\W_{nc}=1/2m(vf^{2}-vi^{2})+mg(yf-yi)

Choosing y=0 at the the level where the driver first contacts the beam and vi=0 at yi=+3.40m and comes to rest again vf=0 at yf= -0.088m

So

-F(0.088m)=1/2m(0-0)+2,200kg(9.81m/s^{2} )(-0.088m-3.40m)\\-F(0.088)=-75508.224\\F=75508.224/0.088\\F=8.58*10^{5} N

The magnitude of Force is 8.58×10⁵N and direction is upwards
