Answer:

a transverse wave consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields.

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is a wave generated by the vibration of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, which may progate through vacuum (empty space) or a material medium.

All electromagnetic waves propagate at the same speed in vacuum. This speed is approximately 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s. Which is generally referred as the speed of light, but it is the same constant speed of any electromagnetic wave in the vacuum, c.

In general, waves transfer energy when they travel, but only electromagnetic waves can travel in vacuum. The waves that cannot travel in vacuum are named mechanical waves (they need a medium to travel).

There are two types of waves depending on how they propagate: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. The transverse waves travel perperdiculary to the direcction of the vibration, while longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the vibration.

The classical example of transverse waves is a rope that oscilates up and down. The classical example of longitudinal waves is a spring that you pull and push by an end and so it moves forward and back. Sound is also a longitudinal wave.

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?

____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

explanation:

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{ - 1}e }}$

hence it's mass number is zero

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He }}$

hence it's mass number is 4

Therefore, proton is heavier than electron

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

Explanation:

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton

A car is moving at 25.5 m/s when it accelerates at 1.94 m/s^2 for 2.3 s. What is the car's final speed? (Keep in mind direction

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

29.96m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed = 25.5m/s

Acceleration = 1.94m/s²

Time = 2.3s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the right motion equation:

v = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Now insert the parameters and solve;

v = 25.5 + (1.94 x 2.3) = 29.96m/s

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length L and mass M swings with period T. If both L and M are doubled, what is t

vampirchik [111]

The new period is D) √2 T

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy and Period of Simple Pendulum formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

where:

Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )

k = spring constant ( N/m )

x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )

$\texttt{ }$

$\boxed{T = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }}$

where:

T = period of simple pendulum ( s )

L = length of pendulum ( m )

g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

Given:

initial length of pendulum = L₁ = L

initial mass = M₁ = M

final length of pendulum = L₂ = 2L

final mass = M₂ = 2M

initial period = T₁ = T

Asked:

final period = T₂ = ?

Solution:

$T_1 : T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_1}{g} }} : 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_2}{g} }}$

$T_1 : T_2 = \sqrt{L_1} : \sqrt{L_2}$

$T : T_2 = \sqrt{L} : \sqrt{2L}$

$T : T_2 = 1 : \sqrt{2}$

$\boxed {T_2 = \sqrt{2}\ T}$

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure.

harina [27]

Answer:

194516 sheets

Explanation:

So the area of each sheet of paper is:

A = 0.216 * 0.279 = 0.060264 square meters

For the paper sheet to make the same effect as the atmospheric pressure P, then the gravity F from the paper sheet must be

F = AP = 0.060264 * 101325 = 6106 N

Let g = 9.81 m/s2, then the mass of paper needed to generate that gravity is

m = F/g = 6106 / 9.81 = 622.4 kg

If each sheet has a mass of 0.0032 kg, then the total number of sheets to have that much mass is

622.4 / 0.0032 = 194516 sheets
