Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Kamila [148]

Answer:

zero or 2π is maximum

Explanation:

Sine waves can be written

      x₁ = A sin (kx -wt + φ₁)

     x₂ = A sin (kx- wt + φ₂)

When the wave travels in the same direction

      Xt = x₁ + x₂

      Xt = A [sin (kx-wt + φ₁) + sin (kx-wt + φ₂)]

We are going to develop trigonometric functions, let's call

     a = kx + wt

     Xt = A [sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂)

We develop breasts of double angles

     sin (a + φ₁) = sin a cos φ₁ + sin φ₁ cos a

    sin (a + φ₂) = sin a cos φ₂ + sin φ₂ cos a

Let's make the sum

     sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂) = sin a (cos φ₁ + cos φ₂) + cos a (sin φ₁ + sinφ₂)

to have a maximum of the sine function, the cosine of fi must be maximum

     cos φ₁ + cos φ₂ = 1 +1 = 2

the possible values ​​of each phase are

     φ1 = 0, π, 2π  

     φ2 = 0, π, 2π,  

so that the phase difference of being zero or 2π is maximum

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area A = 1.7 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.1 W/m2 from a camera s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m²

Explanation:

Since the piece of cardboard absorbs totally the light, the radiation pressure can be found using the following equation:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c}

<u>Where:</u>

p_{rad}: is the radiation pressure

I: is the intensity of the light = 8.1 W/m²

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

Hence, the radiation pressure is:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{8.1 W/m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 2.7 \cdot 10^{-8} N/m^{2}

Therefore, the radiation pressure that is produced on the cardboard by the light is 2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m².

I hope it helps you!
