How are electromagnetic waves different from sound or water waves?

Physics
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

  • Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
  • But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
  • They cannot pass through a vacuum.

A bodybuilder deadlifts a 215 kg weight to a height of 0.90 m above the ground. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in a span o
wariber [46]

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)

<h3>What is power?</h3>

In physics, power (P) is the work (W) done over a period of time.

  • Step 1. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder each time.

The bodybuilder lifts a 215 kg (m) weight to a height of 0.90 m (h). Being the gravity (g) of 9.81 m/s², we can calculate the work done in each lift using the following expression.

W = m × g × h = 215 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.90 m = 1.9 × 10³ N

  • Step 2. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder over 10 times.

W = 10 × 1.9 × 10³ N = 1.9 × 10⁴ N

  • Step 3. Calculate the power exerted by the bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder does a work of 1.9 × 10⁴ N in a 45-s span.

P = 1.9 × 10⁴ N/45 s = 421 W

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)

Five basket ball teams are playing in a tournament. The teams will play with each other only one time. How many games will be pl
77julia77 [94]

<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

The light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of what?
Sedaia [141]
Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.
