A student is investigating the differences between light waves and sound waves. The student does this by using a capsule filled

with solid glass at one end and a vacuum at the other end. The student will transmit waves into the capsule at a 30° angle to the (normal) centerline.

Which >>TWO<< questions should the student ask, and which predictions are MOST LIKELY correct based on this investigation?

Group of answer choices

question: Can electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves travel from a solid glass medium into a liquid medium?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will continue through the liquid medium, while the mechanical waves will go no farther.


question: How are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will continue through the vacuum, while the mechanical waves will go no farther.


question: Can electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves travel from a solid glass medium into a liquid medium?

prediction: Both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves will bend, showing that they have passed through each medium.


question: How are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves will continue through the vacuum at a lower speed.


question: How is the speed of electromagnetic waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum at a 30° angle?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will travel in a straight line, showing that they have maintained a constant speed.


question: How is the speed of electromagnetic waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum at a 30° angle?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will bend downward, showing that they have sped up slightly

Answer:

Explanation:

The investigation is on differences between light waves and sound waves. Because the light and sound are transmitted at a 30° angle at a capsule with glass and vacuum, questions asked should show difference answers for light and sound.

First and third question talk about liquid which is not related here.

Fouth and sixth prediction are wrong as electromagnetic wave will not slow down or speed up in vacuum.

That leaves the second and fifth set as correct answers:

question: How are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will continue through the vacuum, while the mechanical waves will go no farther.

question: How is the speed of electromagnetic waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum at a 30° angle?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will travel in a straight line, showing that they have maintained a constant speed.

Answer:

The two questions and predictions are:

question: How are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will continue through the vacuum, while the mechanical waves will go no farther.

question: How is the speed of electromagnetic waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum at a 30° angle?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will travel in a straight line, showing that they have maintained a constant speed.

Explanation:

light is EM wave which is transverse while sound is longitudinal. speed changes for long wave but not EM.

A weight lifter picks up a barbell and 1. lifts it chest high 2. holds it for 30 seconds 3. puts it down slowly (but does not dr
Anna11 [10]

1. lifts it chest high

The force opposing to this action is the force due to gravity. Therefore the work done is:

W1 = m g d

where m is mass of the barbell, g is gravity and d is displacement

 

2. holds it for 30 seconds

Work is a product of force and displacement, since there is no displacement, therefore work done is zero.

W2 = 0

 

3. puts it down slowly

If the barbell was dropped, then it would simply be a free fall. But since it was not, so the work done here is also equal to the weight of the barbell times displacement:

W3 = m g d

 

We can see that W1 = W3, and since W2 = 0, therefore the answer is:

<span>w3 = w1 > w2</span>

The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = M_{0} V

where M_{0} is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where

\beta = V/c

c  is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75M_{0} V = M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

the equation reduces to

1.75 = 1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/(1 - \beta ^{2} )

3.0625 - 3.0625\beta ^{2} = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625\beta ^{2}

\beta ^{2} = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for  \beta = V/c

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

Can someone pleaseeee answer this !!!!!!
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

v=\sqrt{2gH}

(g = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2aS

Now, the time taken (say t ) for the momentum ( mv ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since t is larger.

4. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are now out beyond the orbit of Pluto. They have run out of fuel long ago but are still moving
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, which states that a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force to change its state of rest or uniform motion. So, the Voyagers spacecraft will continue to move in the same way at the constant speed of 50,000 mph unless acted upon by a force.

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound
adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.
