A skier starts from rest at the top of a 20 degree incline and skis in a straight line to the bottom of the slope, a distance d

(measured along the slope) of 400 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.2, calculate the skier's speed at the bottom of the run.

Answer:

Explanation:

Loss of potential energy = mgh.

h = d sin 20

= 400 sin20 = 136.8 m

Loss of potential energy = m x 9.8 x  136.8

= 1340.64 m

negative work done by friction = μ mg cosθ x d

= .2 x m x 9.8 x cos 20 x 400

= 736.72 m

Net loss of potential energy = 1340.64 m - 736.72 m

= 603.92 m

= gain of kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

1/2 m v² = 603.92 m

v² = 1207.84

v = 34.75 m /s .

Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?
fomenos

Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible.  --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium.  --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)
