Does light need a medium to transfer energy

2 answers:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space. ... This proved that radio waves were a form of light!

Explain how objects in motion have kinetic energy, use examples

Ann [662]

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion, there for if an object is moving, it has kinetic energy.
Example; A roller coaster sitting on top of hill has potential energy. When it starts to move and is going down the hill, it has kinetic energy. :)

A steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre

Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 0.356 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of steel the wire is $l_1 = 31.0 \ m$

The length of the copper wire is $l_2 = 17.0 \ m$

The diameter of the wire is $d = 1.00 \ m = 1.0 *10^{-3} \ m$

The tension is $T = 122 \ N$

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

$t = t_s + t_c$

Where $t_s$ is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_s = l_1 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_s$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 8920 \ kg/m^3$

$t_s = 31 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_s = 0.235 \ s$

And

$t_c$ is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_c = l_2 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_c$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 7860 \ kg/m^3$

$t_c = 17 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_c =0.121$

$t = t_c + t_s$

$t = 0.121 + 0.235$

$t = 0.356 \ s$

Which tool would you use to measure the amount of rainfall? a. graduated cylinder b. stopwatch c. scale d. thermometer

Fittoniya [83]

A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

A stopwatch measures the amount of time that elapses.

A scale measures the mass of objects.

A thermometer measures the temperature of any object.

Because we are measuring rain, a liquid, we would want to use a tool that would allow us to collect the rain for measuring. Therefore, the tool e would use to measure the amount of rainfall would be A. a graduated cylinder.

taurus [48]

The force required to start an object sliding across a uniform horizontal surface is larger than the force required to keep the object sliding at a constant velocity once it starts.

The magnitudes of the required forces are different in these situations because the force of kinetic friction is less than the force of static friction. <em>(d)</em>
