No, speed is not a vector. it is scalar.

because it doesn't need direction but need magnitude.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?

Orlov [11]

Force=10N
Displacement=30cm=0.3m

$\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto Wd=Force(Displacement)$

$\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto Work=10(0.3)$

$\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto Work=3J$

1. (I) If the magnetic field in a traveling EM wave has a peak magnitude of 17.5 nT at a given point, what is the peak magnitude

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The electric field is $E = 5.25 V/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The peak magnitude of the magnetic field is $B = 17.5 nT = 17.5 *10^{-9}\ T$

Generally the peak magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = c * B$

Where c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

$E = 3.0 *10^{8} * 17.5 *10^{-9}$

$E = 5.25 V/m$
