Which statement correctly distinguishes between all mechanical and all electromagnetic waves?

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: Mechanical waves carry energy through a medium; electromagnetic waves carry energy through media and space.

Explanation:

<u>The waves which require medium to travel are known as mechanical waves. </u>The waves carry energy forward by compression and rarefaction that is by changing density /pressure of medium particles.

<u>Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through space as well as medium. </u>In an electromagnetic wave, electric field generates magnetic field and magnetic field generates electric field. Electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of motion.

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

Two forces Upper FSubscript Upper A Baseline Overscript right-arrow EndScripts and Upper FSubscript Upper B Baseline Overscript

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

$F_B = 1.28 N$

Explanation:

As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

$F_A + F_B = ma$

as we know that

$a = 0.554 m/s^2$

m = 10.6 kg

now we will have

$F_A + F_B = 10.6(0.554)$

$F_A + F_B = 5.87 N$

Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have

$F_A - F_B = 10.6(0.313)$

$F_A - F_B = 3.32 N$

Part A)

Now we will have from above two equation

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

Similarly for other force we have

$F_B = 1.28 N$

The potential energy of a 1.7 x 10-3 kg particle is described by U (x )space equals space minus (17 space J )space cos open squa

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a particle of mass

M = 1.7 × 10^-3 kg

Given a potential as a function of x

U(x) = -17 J Cos[x/0.35 m]

U(x) = -17 Cos(x/0.35)

Angular frequency at x = 0

Let find the force at x = 0

F = dU/dx

F = -17 × -Sin(x/0.35) / 0.35

F = 48.57 Sin(x/0.35)

At x = 0

Sin(0) =0

Then,

F = 0 N

So, from hooke's law

F = -kx

Then,

0 = -kx

This shows that k = 0

Then, angular frequency can be calculated using

ω = √(k/m)

So, since k = 0 at x = 0

Then,

ω = √0/m

ω = √0

ω = 0 rad/s

So, the angular frequency is 0 rad/s
