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

Physics

elixir [45]3 years ago
7 0

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.

The mass of a lift is 600kg.the. The maximum tensile force that the cable supporting the lift can withstand is 7kN. Calculate th
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667

2. A solenoid. Suppose the south end of a bar magnet was introduced to the right end of this solenoid at a constant velocity. Wh
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2) deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) the correct statements are: b and c

Explanation:

2) This question is based on Faraday's law of induction, when we introduce a magnet in a solenoid an induced current is produced that generates a voltage that is given by

           E = - N d \phi_{B} / dt

where \phi_{B} = B. A

The bold are vectors

Therefore, when applying this formula to our case, the induction lines of the magnetic field increase as we approach the solenoid, as the South pole approaches the lines are in the direction of the magnet, therefore the normal to the solenoid that has an outgoing direction and the magnetic field has 180º between them and the cos 180 = -1; consequently the deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) From the Faraday equation we can see that the inductive electromotive force depends

* The magnitude of B that changes over time

* The area of ​​the loop that changes over time

* The angle between B and the area that changes over time

* A combination of the above

With this analysis we will review the different alternatives given

a) False. It takes a temporary change and an absolute value of B

b) True. As the speed decreases, the change in B decreases, that is, dB / dt decreases

c) True. The current is induced in each turn, if there is a smaller number the total current will be smaller

d) False. A temporary change of area is needed, in addition to increasing the area the current increases

We can see that the correct statements are: b and c

The skateboarder has a mass of 100 kg. When traveling downward from E to D, he reaches a velocity of 11 m/s. Calculate his kinet
patriot [66]

6050 J is the kinetic energy at D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In physics, the object's kinetic energy (K.E) defined as the energy it possesses during movement. It can be defined as the required work to accelerate a certain body weight in order to rest at a certain speed. When the body receives this energy as it speeds up (accelerates), it retains this energy unless speed varies. The equation is given as,

           K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}

Where,

m - mass of an object

v - velocity of the object

Here,

Given data:

m  = 100 kg

v = 11 m/s

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

            K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times(11)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 121=\frac{12100}{2}=6050\ \mathrm{J}

A box of volume V has a movable partition separating it into two compartments. The left compartment contains 3000 particles, the
storchak [24]

Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V -  3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V represent volume of the box containing the two compartments

V1 represents compartment of the left compartment

V2 represents compartment of the right compartment

Momentum of the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum of the compartments after impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To obtain the volume of each compartment, that is, V1 and V2, we say:

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

∴ V1 = 4000V - 1000V2/3000 = 4V - V2/3

Also, V2 = 4000V - 3000V1/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) Change in entropy,Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

By substituting the V1 and V2, we have:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

16000V -  4000V2 - 12000V + 9000V1

∴ Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1
