Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?

Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
3 0
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.

A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.

The 1.5-kg collar C starts from rest at A and slides with negligible friction on the fixed rod in the vertical plane. Determine
arlik [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

check attached image for figure, there is supposed to be a figure for this question containing a distance(height of collar at position A) but i will assume 0.2m or 200mm

Consider the energy equilibrium of the system

U_{A-B}=\bigtriangleup T\\\\F\cos 30°\times h_A - F\sin30°\times h_A + Wh_A=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2_B-v^2_A)\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2Fh_A(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+mgh_A}{m+v^2_A}}

Here, F is the force acting on the collar, h_A is the height of the collar at position A, m is the mass of the collar C, g is the acceleration due to gravity, v_B is the velocity of the collar at position B, and v_A is the velocity of the collar at A

Substitute 14.4N for F, 0.2m for h_A, 1.5kg for m, 9.81m/s^2 for g and 0 for v_A

v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.4\times 0.2(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+1.5\times 9.81\times 0.2}{1.5+0}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{6.618}{1.5}}\\\\=4.412m/s

Therefore, the velocity at which the collar strikes the end B is 4.412m/s

Please Explain two ways nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is changed into nitrogen compounds that plants can use. -Thank you all in
KIM [24]
Not sure if this is what your looking for, but hope it helps. Nitrogen gas can be changed into nitrogen compound through nitrogen fixation, which is the conversion of nitrogen gas to ammonia, that are absorbed by the plant to make protein. Another way is through animals eating plants and obtaining nitrogen, which is later released, by decomposes, when the organism dies.

As a 2.0-kg object moves from (4.4 i + 5j) m to ( 11.6 i - 2j) m, the constant resultant force
aliina [53]

Answer:

v_f = 10.38 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

          W = ΔK

note that the two quantities are scalars

Work is defined by the relation

          W = F. Δx

the bold are vectors.  The displacement is

          Δx = r_f -r₀

          Δx = (11.6 i - 2j) - (4.4 i + 5j)

          Δx = (7.2 i - 7 j) m

 

          W = (4 i - 9j). (7.2 i - 7 j)

remember that the dot product

           i.i = j.j = 1

           i.j = 0

           

           W = 4  7.2 + 9  7

           W = 91.8 J

the initial kinetic energy is

           Ko = ½ m vo²

           Ko = ½ 2.0 4.0²

           Ko = 16 J

we substitute in the initial equation

          W = K_f - K₀

          K_f = W + K₀

          ½ m v_f² = W + K₀

          v_f² = 2 / m (W + K₀)

          v_f² = 2/2 (91.8 + 16)

           v_f = √107.8

          v_f = 10.38 m / s
