Answer:

Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant. (i hope i helped youuu)

A rectangular piece of cardboard, whose area is 352 square centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2-centimeter sq

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

$xy=352$

$y=\dfrac{352}{x}$ -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

$2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432$

$x^2-38x+352=0$

$(x-16)(x-22)=0$

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

$y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22$

For x = 22

$y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16$

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

$\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A$

Resistivity, $\rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}$

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}$

r = 0.00199 m

$r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}$

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.

Reflection: a change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media.
sentence: i saw my reflection in the mirror.

refraction: the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
sentence: when light goes through glass, it’s a refraction.

diffraction: the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle.
sentence: spaced tracks on a CD act as a diffraction.

absorption: the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.
sentence: heat waves hitting the beach usually give most of their energy to the sand.

interference: when two waves lay on each other and their energies are either added together or cancelled out.
sentence: interference waves can be observed with all types of waves.

standing wave: two waves moving in opposite directions. they both have the same amplitude or frequency.
sentence: plucking the string of a guitar is an example of standing waves.

resonance: increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of a force is equal or close to a natural frequency.
sentence:a buzz in your car that only occurs at a certain speed is an example or resonance.

Answer:

Explanation:

Static electricity is what makes your hair stand up when you rub a balloon against it or gives you a shock from your doorknob. In static electricity, electrons are moved around mechanically (i.e. by someone rubbing two things together).
