How Do Mechanical Waves Compare With Electromagnetic Waves?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Main Difference Between Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves

A wave is composed of some kind of disturbance that propagates. We can classify waves into many different types based on their properties. One of the properties of the waves depends on whether they need a medium to propagate or not. The primary difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves is also based on this property. Mechanical waves need a medium, while electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. The other differences between mechanical and electromagnetic waves are given below:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is an empty space, whereas mechanical waves cannot. They need a medium to travel such as water or air. Ripples in a pond are an example of mechanical waves whereas electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals, which can travel through the vacuum of space.

Mechanical waves can be classed as elastic waves because their transmission depends on the medium's (water, air etc.) elastic properties.

Electromagnetic waves are caused because of the varying magnetic and electric fields. They are produced by the vibration of the charged particles.

Because of these differences, the speed of each type of wave varies significantly. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light but mechanical waves are far slower.

a mass of 7.5kg has a weight of 30n on a certain planet calculate the acceleration due to gravitt on this planet

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on a certain planet = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

According to the question,

Weight = 30 N

Mass = 7.5 kg

Let acceleration due to gravity be 'a'

Formula:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

30 = 7.5 × a

a = 30/7.5

a = 4 m/s²

Emily sees a ship traveling at a constant speed along a straight section of a river. She walks parallel to the riverbank at a uniform rate faster than the ship. She counts equal steps walking from the back of the ship to the front. Walking in the opposite direction, she counts steps of the same size from the front of the ship to the back. In terms of Emily's equal steps, what is the length of the ship

Answers

The length of the ship in terms of Emily's equal steps is 84.

The given parameters;

equal steps forward = 210equal steps backward = 42

Defined parameters:

Let the constant velocity of the ship = VLet the velocity of Emily = VsLet the length of the ship = dLet the time of motion, = t

The velocity of Emily when moving forward in the direction of the ship:

[tex]V_s_1 = \frac{210}{t}[/tex]

The velocity of Emily when moving in opposite direction to the ship:

[tex]V_s_2 = \frac{42}{t}[/tex]

The constant velocity of the ship:

[tex]V = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Apply relative velocity formula to determine the length of the ship:

For forward (same direction) motion:

[tex](V_s_1 - V)t = d[/tex]

For backward (opposite direction) motion:

[tex](V_s_2 + V)t = d[/tex]

[tex](V_s_1 - V)t = (V_s_2 + V)t\\\\V_s_1 - V = V_s_2 + V\\\\\frac{210}{t} - \frac{d}{t} = \frac{42}{t} + \frac{d}{t} \\\\\frac{210}{t} - \frac{42}{t} = \frac{d}{t} + \frac{d}{t} \\\\\frac{210 - 42}{t} = \frac{d+ d}{t} \\\\\frac{168}{t} = \frac{2d}{t} \\\\2d = 168\\\\d = \frac{168}{2} \\\\d = 84[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the length of the ship in terms of Emily's equal steps is 84.

In part (a), when the cable pulls horizontally [tex]$\phi=0^{\circ}$[/tex] and when it pulls  [tex]$35.0^{\circ}$[/tex] above the horizontal [tex]$\phi=35.0^{\circ}$[/tex].

a An object is tarown up with a velocity v = 6.02 +7.0j. Calculate the (1) time taken reach the maximum height (ii) the horizontal range (s = 10m/s2). ​

Answers

Answer:

(i) 0.6s (ii) 8.42m

Explanation:

U² = 6.02² + 7²

U = 9.23

angle of projection

tanø = 6.02/7

ø = 40.7

Time of fligt

t = Usinø/g

t = 9.23 sin 40.7/10

t = 0.6

H range = U²sin2ø/g

H = 9.23²sin 81.4/10

H = 8.42m

The time taken reach the maximum height is 0.6s and the horizontal range is 8.42m.

What is Velocity?

Velocity ​​is defined as the directional motion of an object which is indicated by the rate of change of position as observed from a particular frame of reference. It is measured by a particular standard of time. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.

It can be expressed as:

v= d/t

Where. v is the velocity in m/s

d is the displacement measured in meter 'm'

t is the time measured in seconds 's'

For above given information,

v = 6.02 +7.0j, so the initial velocity will be u

u² = 6.02² + 7²

u = 9.23m/s

Angle of projection, tanø = 6.02/7

ø = 40.7

Time taken=  t = u sinø/g

t = 9.23 sin 40.7/10

t = 0.6s

Horizontal range  = u²sin2ø/g

H = 9.23²sin 81.4/10

H = 8.42m

Thus, the time taken reach the maximum height is 0.6s and the horizontal range is 8.42m.

A solid sphere starts from rest and rolls down a slope that is 6.4 m long. If its speed at the bottom of the slope is 5.3 m/s, what is the angle of the slope

Answers

From the relationship between acceleration a and g on an inclined plane, the angle of the slope is 13 degrees

Given that a solid sphere starts from rest and rolls down a slope that is 6.4 m long. The speed at the bottom of the slope is 5.3 m/s, the distance travelled is 6.4 m. That is,

Initial velocity U = 0 ( since it starts from rest)

Final velocity V = 5.3 m/s

distance S = 6.4 m

Let us first calculate its acceleration by using  third equation of motion.

[tex]V^{2}[/tex] = [tex]U^{2}[/tex] + 2aS

[tex]5.3^{2}[/tex] = 0 + 2 x 6.4a

28.09 = 12.8a

a = 28.09 / 12.8

a = 2.2 m / [tex]s^{2}[/tex]

To calculate the angle of the slope, let us use the relationship between acceleration a and g on an inclined plane.

acceleration a = gsin∅

substitute all the relevant parameters

2.2 = 9.8 sin∅

sin∅ = 2.2/9.8

sin∅ = 0.224

∅ = [tex]Sin^{-1}[/tex](0.224)

∅ = 12.97 degrees

∅ = 13 degrees (approximately)

Therefore, the angle of the slope is 13 degrees

Answers

The characteristics of the scalar product allows to find the angle between the two vectors is:

The angle θ = 170º

The scalar product is the product between two vectors whose result is a scalar.

            A . B = |A|  |B| cos θ

Where A and B are the vectors, |A| and |B| are the modules of the vectors and θ at the angle between them.

The vector is given in Cartesian coordinates and the unit vectors in these coordinates are perpendicular.

            i.i = j.j = 1

            i.j = 0

            A . B = (4 i - 4j). * -5 i + 7j)

            A . B = - 4 5 - 4 7

            A. B = -48

We look for the modulus of each vector.

           |A| = [tex]\sqrt{x^2 +y^2 }[/tex]

           |A| = [tex]\sqrt{4^2 + 4^2}[/tex]  

           |A| = 4 √2

          |B| = [tex]\sqrt{5^2 +7^2}[/tex]

          |B| = 8.60

We substitute.

            -48 = 4√2  8.60  cos θ

            -48 = 48.66 cos θ

            θ = cos⁻¹   [tex]\frac{-48}{48.664}[/tex]  

            θ = 170º

In conclusion using the dot product we can find the angle between the two vectors is:
