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

Physics
1 answer:
zlopas [31]3 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 5.4 g lead bullet moving at 261 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops. If all its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Change in temperature ∆(tita) is 266.097°C

Explanation:

Ok kinectic energy = 1/2MV²

5.4 grams =( 5.4/1000) kilogram

Kinectic energy =( 1/2 )*(5.4/1000)*261²

Kinectic energy = 183.9267 joules

If kinetic energy = thermal energy

183.9267 joules = mc∆(tita)

Where ∆(tita) = change in temperature

And c = 128 J/kg

∆(tita) = 183.9267/((5.4/1000)*128)

∆(tita) = 266.097

∆(tita) = 266.097°C

There is a 250-m-high cliff at half dome in yosemite national park in california. suppose a boulder breaks loose from the top of
lorasvet [3.4K]

Part A. For this part, we use two equations for linear motion:

<span>y = y0 + v0 t + 0.5 g t^2                   ---> 1</span>

<span>vf = v0 + g t                                         ---> 2</span>

First we solve for t using equation 1: y0 = 0 (initial point at top), y = 250 m, v0 = 0 (at rest)

250 = 0.5 (9.8) t^2

t = 7.143 s

Now we solve for final velocity vf using equation 2:

vf = g t

vf = 9.8 (7.143)

vf = 70 m/s

 

Part B. First we solve for the time it takes for the sound to reach the tourist.

t(sound) = 250 / 335 = 0.746 s

Therefore the total time would be:

t = 0.746 s + 0.300 s

t = 1.05 s

 

<span>Hence there is enough time for the tourist to get out before the boulder hits him.</span>

What is the amount of electric current passing through the heating oil of a hot plate if 25 C of charge passes through it in 7 s
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Current, I = 3.57A

Explanation:

A current of I amperes means that I Coulombs of charge flows through the conductor (heating coil) per second.

Therefore, in time t, the total charge (Q) passing through any point in which the current (C) flows will be given by the equation;

Q = It

Where; Q is the charge in coulombs; I is the current in amperes; t is the time in seconds.

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Q = 25C, t= 7secs and I =?

From the equation, Q = It

We make current, I the subject of formula;

Thus, I = Q/t

Substituting into the equation;

I = 25/7

I = 3.57Amp.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.9 m, depth of 3.8 m, and current speed of 2.3 m/s. The other stre
SpyIntel [72]
<h2>Depth of river is 4.48 m</h2>

Explanation:

Discharge = Area x Velocity

Discharge of river = Discharge of stream 1 + Discharge of stream 2

A_rv_r=A_1v_1+A_2v_2

Area of stream 1 = w₁ x d₁ = 8.9 x 3.8 = 33.82 m²

Area of stream 2 = w₂ x d₂ = 6.5 x 3.9 = 25.35 m²

Velocity of stream 1 = 2.3 m/s

Velocity of stream 2 = 2.6 m/s

Velocity of river = 3 m/s

\texttt{Area of river = }w_r\times d_r=10.7\times d_r

Substituting

             A_rv_r=A_1v_1+A_2v_2\\\\10.7\times d_r\times 3=33.82\times 2.3+25.35\times 2.6\\\\d_r=4.48m

Depth of river = 4.48 m
