Answer: Electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

$E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}$

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0$

$r^2+x^2-3x^2=0$

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

At $x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$ the electric field will be maximum.

At the equator earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s.

Dafna1 [17]

The given velocity is 465 m/s.

Part a.
$465 \, \frac{m}{s} =(465 \times 10^{-3} \, \frac{km}{s})*( 3600 \, \frac{s}{h} ) = 1674 \, \frac{km}{h}$
Answer: 1674 km/h

Part b.
$1674 \frac{km}{h} = (1674 \, \frac{km}{h})*(24 \, \frac{h}{day} ) = 40176 \, \frac{km}{day}$
Answer: 40,176 km/day.

If r1 < r2 < r3, and if these resistors are connected in series in a circuit, which one dissipates the most power

Vesnalui [34]

All three have the same current, so that is not a factor. Wattage (power) is E*I or i^2 R. The higher the resistance, the more power dissipated. The answer is R3 because it has the highest resistance.
R3 <<<< ===== answer.

What's a streak plate?

andrew-mc [135]

An unglazed piece of porcelain, used to test the characteristic streak of minerals by rubbing the mineral across the tile. Streak plates have a hardness of about 6.5 on the Mohs scale and cannot be used for testing harder minerals.
