Light is an oscillating magnetic field alone. an oscillating electric field alone. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate p

arallel to each other. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicularly to each other. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate in a random direction relative to each other. Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through. Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field. Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field. The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum. The speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

  • As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.  
  • Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.  
  • The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

A student throws a softball horizontally from a dorm window 15.0 m above the ground. Another student standing 10.0 m away catche
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Speed of ball equals 6.024 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the student throw the ball with a velocity of 'v' m/s horizontally.

Now the time in which the ball travels 10.0 meter horizontally shall be equal to the time in which it travels (15.0-1.50) meters vertically

Hence the time taken to cover a vertical distance of 13.50 meters is obatined using 2 equation of kinematics as

s=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 13.5}{9.81}}\\\\\therefore t=1.66 seconds

Since there is no acceleration in horizantal direction we infer that in time of 1.66 seconds the ball travels a distance of 10 meters

Hence the spped of throw is obatines as

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\v=\frac{10}{1.66}=6.024m/s

What is the energy density in the magnetic field 25 cm from a long straight wire carrying a current of 12 a? (μ0 = 4π × 10-7 t ·
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

3.67\cdot 10^{-5} J/m^3

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the magnetic field magnitude at 25 cm from the wire, which is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

μ0 = 4π × 10-7 t · m/a is the vacuum permeability

I = 12 A is the current in the wire

r = 25 cm = 0.25 m is the distance from the wire

Substituting,

B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(12)}{2\pi(0.25)}=9.6\cdot 10^{-6} T

Now we can calculate the energy density of the magnetic field, which is given by

u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}

And substituting, we find

u = \frac{(9.6\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{2(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})}=3.67\cdot 10^{-5} J/m^3

Assume you are driving 20 mph on a straight road. Also, assume that at a speed of 20 miles per hour, it takes 100 feet to stop.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:900  feet

Explanation:

Given

Velocity \left ( V_1\right )=20 mph\approx 29.334 ft/s

it take 100 feet to stop

Using Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v,u=Final and initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=distance moved

0-\left ( 29.334\right )^2=2\left (-a\right )\left ( 100\right )

a=\frac{29.334^2}{2\times 100}=4.302 ft/s^2

When velocity is 60 mph\approx 88.002 ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as

0-\left ( 88.002\right )^2=2\left ( -4.302\right )\left ( s\right )

s=900.08 feet

There are two different size spherical paintballs and the smaller one has a diameter of 5 cm and the larger one is 9 cm in diame
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

145.8 cm³ of paint

Explanation:

d₁ = Smaller diameter paintball = 5 cm

d₂ = Larger diameter paintball = 9 cm

V₂ = Volume of larger diameter paintball

Volume of smaller diameter paintball

V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_1^3

Similarly

V_2=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_2^3

Dividing the above two equations, we get

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{V_1}{\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{28}{\frac{125}{729}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=163.296\ cm^3

∴ The larger one hold 163.296 cm³ of paint
