The energy emitted from the sun is a product of _______

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

Paraphin [41]

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

Neko [114]

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

$B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}$

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

$B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A$

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

What is the difference between radial acceleration and tangential acceleration and how do you calculate both of these accelerati

sergey [27]

Answer:

Tangential acceleration is in the direction of velocity - along the circumference of a circle if the object is undergoing circular motion

a = (V2 - V1) / T

Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of motion if the object is not moving in a straight line (perhaps along the circumference of a circle)

a = m V^2 / R = m ω^2 R where R is the radius vector of the velocity - note that the Radius vector is directed from the center of motion to the object and for circular motion would be constant in magnitude but not in direction

an ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 direction. after 8.33 m/s in a 120 direction. what is the y-component

Nata [24]

The y-component of the acceleration is $0.28 m/s^2$
