How the different types of waves are form and how the waves travel

1 answer:

4 0

There are 2 types of waves mechanical and electromagnetic, mechanical waves need a medium to travel energy, while an electromagnetic wave doesn’t not require a medium. Electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum(space). Electromagnetic waves include : radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, Ultraviolet light ( UV light), x-rays, and gamma rays, all of those are transverse waves. Mechanical waves are separated into 2 waves longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves travel up and down while longitudinal waves travel back-and-forth

22. State any three features of the electroscope.

MatroZZZ [7]

-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.

At speeds over 30 mph, you should maintain a following distance of at least ________ behind the vehicle ahead of you.

ICE Princess25 [194]

At speeds over 30 mph, you should maintain a following distance of at least <u>three full seconds</u> behind the vehicle ahead of you.

As a general rule and common sense at a speed of 30 mph you can leave three full seconds so that you can achieve a prudent distance between the car you are driving and the car in front in order to be able to perform some kind of maneuver if an accident or unforeseen event occurs.

To count the full three seconds you can use the technique of counting the Mississippis as follows: Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three.

<h3>What is an accident?</h3>

An accident is an unexpected event that generally causes damage, injury or negative consequences.

Answer:

31,360J

Explanation:

Gravitation potential energy (gpe) is calculated from the formula mgh.

That implies, gpe = mgh

Therefore substituting the values of m and h as given in the question, knowing in mine that the acceleration due to gravity( g) is 9.8 N/kg, will give 31,360J

Never forget to put your SI units, because even if your answer is numerical correct, it will be incorrect because it represents no physical quantity.

A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of

mina [271]

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m; &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

= (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

= 27370000

= 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷ × 0.532655 )

= 3818.215

= 3.818 × 10³

= 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × $\frac{r}{V_o}$

= 2 × 3.14 × $\frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}$

= 45019.28

= 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s
