Which statement best explains why light can travel with or without a medium?

Physics

elixir [45]2 years ago

Answer:

Transverse Waves do not require a medium to travel

Explanation:

Two major types of energy waves are longitudinal waves and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of matter in the medium move in a parallel direction to the motion of the wave. This shows the energy transport and particle movement. The particles of matter only move temporarily. A wave is transferred energy it does not transfer particles of matter. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of matter in the medium move in a perpendicular direction to the motion of the wave.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.69 cm. At what positive displacement from the midpoint of its
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 0.0146m

Explanation: The formula that defines the velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given as

v = ω√A² - x²

Where v = linear velocity, A = amplitude = 1.69cm = 0.0169m, x = displacement.

The maximum speed of a simple harmonic motion is derived when x = A, hence v = ωA

One half of maximum speed = speed of motion

3ωA/2 = ω√A² - x²

ω cancels out on both sides of the equation, hence we have that

A/2 = √A² - x²

(0.0169)/2 = √(0.0169² - x²)

0.00845 = √(0.0169² - x²)

By squaring both sides, we have that

0.00845² = 0.0169² - x²

x² = 0.0169² - 0.00845²

x² = 0.0002142

x = √0.0002142

x = 0.0146m

A block of mass 10.0 kg is pulled to the right along a rough horizontal surface with a constant horizontal force of 20.0 N. The
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

the magnitude of acceleration will be 1.50m/s^2

Explanation:

To calculate your acceleration, you can use your formula that states that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. Fnet=ma

if you draw out this situation and label the forces you will have your vector towards the right with a magnitude of 20.0N and then your friction vector will be pointing to the left (in other words, in the negative direction) (opposing the direction of movement) with a magnitude of 5.00N, with the 10.0 kg box in the middle.

The net force will be calculated using F1+F2=Fnet where your F1=20.0N and F2= -5.00N (since it is towards the negative direction).

you will find that Fnet=15.0N

With that, plug in the values you know to calculate the acceleration of the block:

Fnet=ma

(15.0N)=(10.0kg)a    from her you can divide both sides by 10 to isolate a:

1.50=a  (and now make sure to label the units of your answer)

a=1.50m/s^2 (which is the typical unit for acceleration)
