What can electromagnetic waves travel through that mechanical waves can not travel through?

Physics

zlopas [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I believe it is vacuum of space

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.

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

\boxed{\mathfrak{range =  \frac{  u  {}^{2}   \sin 2\theta }{g} }}

u is the velocity during its take off and \theta is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

  • u = 8m/ s
  • \theta = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40)  }{10}

=  \frac{64 \times  \sin(80) }{10}

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

=  \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}

=  \frac{63.027}{10}

= 6.3027

Hence,

\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \:  \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=7.09683\ m

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-11.8}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.20285\ s

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 1.20285\\\Rightarrow v=11.8\ m/s

The velocity just before it hits the ground is 11.8 m/s
