Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.

How does kinect energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 6

mote1985 [20]

If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

Sphinxa [80]

Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa

Lorico [155]

Answer: $r_2=11.81 cm$

Explanation:

Given

$m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg$

$m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg$

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

$qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}$

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}$

and B is equal for both particles

thus $\frac{m}{r^2}=constant$

$\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}$

$r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2$

$r_2=11.81 cm$

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there

notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where

t is time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h$

So, the required time is 2 hours.

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte

Arada [10]

Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.
