How do physicists distinguish one type of electromagnetic wave from another?

GenaCL600 [577]

A wave is characterized by the cyclic occurrences of crests and troughs. Wavelengthis defined as the distance between two consecutive troughs or two crests and the Frequency is defined as the number of cycles that pass through a point per second

A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1

ss7ja [257]

Answer: 4.236km

Explanation:

Let's define the point (x, y) as:

x = horizontal distance moved.

y = vertical distance moved.

If the plane starts in the point (0, 0) then:

"A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off..."

At this time, the position will be:

P = (0 + 2750m, 0) = (2750m, 0).

"it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1.8 km since its wheels left the ground."

In this case, as the angle is measured from the horizontal, the components will be:

x = 1.8km*cos(37°) = 1.438km

y = 1.8km*sin(37°) = 1.083 km

Then the new position is:

P = (2750m + 1.438 km, 0 + 1.083 km)

Let's write it using the same units for all the quantities:

we know that

1km = 1000m

Then:

2750m = (2750/1000) km = 2.750 km.

Then we can write the new position as:

P = (2.750 km + 1.438km, 1.083km) = (4.188km, 1.083km)

Now, we define the displacement as the distance between the final position and the initial position.

The distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is:

D = √( (a c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

In this case the points are:

(0, 0) for the initial position

(4.188km, 1.083km) for the final position.

And the displacement will be:

D = √( (4.188km - 0)^2 + (1.083 - 0)^2) = 4.236km

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is 127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, $m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, $v=3\times 10^7\ m/s$

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}$

$a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}$

$F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

A boy projects a ball vertically upwards with velocity v from

boyakko [2]

Answer:

yes? what is the quseten

Explanation:

v is the max speed it can go if you droped a egg and a watermelon off a roof 20ft high thay would hit the ground at the same time becuse gravaty will effect them qualy. if you drop them from a jet liner 20,000 ft up thay will hit max.v. wich depends on mass so thay will hit at differnt times.
