What is a microwave?

Physics
1 answer:
bonufazy [111]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range 0.001–0.3 m, shorter than that of a normal radio wave but longer than those of infrared radiation. Microwaves are used in radar, in communications, and for heating in microwave ovens and in various industrial processes.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.

A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface. When the amplitude of t
Maslowich

Answer:

a) The time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled = 2.76 s

b) The time taken to travel from 0.09 m to -0.09 m when the amplitude is doubled = 0.92 s

Explanation:

a) The period of a simple harmonic motion is given as T = (1/f) = (2π/w)

It is evident that the period doesn't depend on amplitude, that is, it is independent of amplitude.

Hence, the time it would take the block to move from its amplitude point to the negative of the amplitude point (0.09 m to -0.09 m) in the first case will be the same time it will take the block to move from its amplitude point to negative of the amplitude point in the second case (0.18 m to -0.18 m).

Hence, time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled is 2.76 s

b) Now that the amplitude has been doubled, the time taken to move from amplitude point to the negative amplitude point in simple harmonic motion, just like with waves, is exactly half of the time period.

The time period is defined as the time taken to complete a whole cycle and a while cycle involves movement from the amplitude to point to the negative amplitude point then fully back to the amplitude point. Hence,

0.5T = 2.76 s

T = 2 × 2.76 = 5.52 s

Note that the displacement of a body undergoing simple harmonic motion from the equilibrium position is given as

y = A cos wt (provided that there's no phase difference, that is, Φ = 0)

A = amplitude = 0.18 m

w = (2π/5.52) = 1.138 rad/s

When y = 0.09 m, the time = t₁₂ = ?

0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₁ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₁ = 0.5

1.138t₁ = arccos (0.5) = (π/3)

t₁ = π/(3×1.138) = 0.92 s

When y = -0.09 m, the time = t₂ = ?

-0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₂ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₂ = -0.5

1.138t₂ = arccos (-0.5) = (2π/3)

t₂ = 2π/(3×1.138) = 1.84 s

Time taken to move from y = 0.09 m to y = -0.09 m is then t = t₂ - t₁ = 1.84 - 0.92 = 0.92 s

Hope this Helps!!!

The speed of a 2.0-kg object changes from 30 m/s to 40 m/s during a 5.0-second time interval.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

F = 2 * 30 / 5 = 12 N to stop forward motion

F = 2 * 40 / 5 = 16 N to accelerate to 90 degrees

(12^2 + 16^2)^1.2 = 20 N   average force applied

What is the current through a 25 ohm resistor connected to a 5.0 V power supply? a 0.20 A b 5.0 A c 25 A d 30 A
zysi [14]
~Formula: Voltage= current• resistance
(V= Ir)
~Using this formula, plug in the numbers from the equation into the formula
~5=25i
~Now you have a one-step equation
~Divide by 25 on both sides and you should get your answer:
~I= 0.2 (which means current is 0.2)

An electric field of 280000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -
nordsb [41]
<h2>The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Electric field, E = 280000 N/C

Charge, q = -7.9 C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\280000=\frac{F}{7.9}\\\\F=280000\times 7.9\\\\F=2.21\times 10^6N

The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.
