How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?

Physics

ycow [4]3 years ago
5 0
Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.

How balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is made due to respreration and photosinthesis. As we leave carbon dioxide and take in oxygen the ballance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made. And during the photosinthesis of plants the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made.

block of mass 5kgriding on a horizontal frictionlessxy-plane surface is subjected tothree applied forces:→F1= 12√2N[ 45◦]→F2= (8
dsp73

Answer:

(i) See attached image for the drawing

(ii) net force given in component form: (20, 20)N with magnitude: \sqrt{800} \,\,\,N

Explanation:

First try to write all forces in  vector component form:

The force F1 acting at 45 degrees would have multiplication factors of \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} on both axes, to take care of the sine and cosine projections. Therefore, the:

x-component of F1 is    F1_x=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N

y-component of F1 is    F1_y=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N

As far as force F2, it is given already in x and y components, then:

x-component of F2 = 8 N

y-component of F2 = -6 N (negative meaning pointing down the y-axis)

Force F3 has only component (upwards) in the y-direction

x-component of F3 = 0 N

y-component of F3 =14 N

The additions of all these component by component, gives the resultant force (R) acting on the 5 kg mass:

x-component of R = 12 + 8 = 20 N

y-component of R = 12 + 14 - 6 = 20 N

Therefore, the acceleration that the mass receives due to this force is given in component form as:

x-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = 4\,\,\,m/s^2

y-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = 4\,\,\,m/s^2

Now we can calculate the components of the velocity of this mass after 2 seconds of being accelerated by this force, using the formula of acceleration times time:

x-component of the velocity is:     v_x=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s

y-component of the velocity is:     v_y=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s

A charge of Q is fixed in space. A second charge of q was first placed at a distance r1 away from Q. Then it was moved along a s
topjm [15]

Answer:

\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}

So, the change in the potential energy is

\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})
