Which phrase describes an electromagnetic wave

Physics

Viefleur [7K]2 years ago

Answer:

<u>a transverse wave consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields.</u>

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.

A solid nonconducting sphere of radius R carries a uniform charge density throughout its volume. At a radial distance R/4 from t
vekshin1

Answer:

2E

Explanation:

The electric field inside a charged, nonconducting sphere is given by

E(r)=\frac{kQr}{R^3} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the total charge on the sphere

r is the distance from the centre of the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

In this problem, the magnitude of the electric field at r = R/4 is E, so we can write:

E=\frac{kQ(\frac{R}{4})}{R^3}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{kQ}{R^2}

Then, we want to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of

r=\frac{R}{2}

Substituting into (1), we find:

E'=\frac{kQ(\frac{R}{2})}{R^3}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{kQ}{R^2}=2E

Therefore, the electric field at R/2 is twice the electric field at R/4.

With the crate stationary on a horizontal ramp, the force of static friction is:_________
padilas [110]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As it is stationary, it implies a non moving force, on top of the fact that the ramp is horizontal, the force of static friction has to be zero.

A car traveling at 25 meters per second is brought to stop by a force over a 10 second timer interval. What was the acceleration
nordsb [41]

Answer:

–2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 25 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) = 10 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

a = (v – u) /t

Where:

a => is the acceleration

v => is the final velocity

u => is the initial velocity

t => is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 25 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) = 10 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) /t

a = (0 – 25) /10

a = –25 / 10

a = –2.5 m/s²

The acceleration of the car is –2.5 m/s². The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.
