Answer:
The water takes longer, because it is the better insulator here.
Explanation:
Conductors and insulators work similarly in "reverse".
If something is a good heat conductor, then it's good at both absorbing heat energy and giving it away. Insulators are good at resisting temperature changes, but also take longer to cool down once they are heated up.
So because copper is the better conductor here, it will cool faster than the water at the same temperature.

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y direction, the wave is traveling in what direction? Explain your answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave
is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .
Given Electric field = E i because it is along x axis
Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis
E x B = Ei x Bj
= EB k .
so direction of E x B is along k direction or z - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .
The direction of motion of electromagnetic wave will be +z-direction.
Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of the electric field and magnetic field.
The electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and the wave propagates in the direction perpendicular to both the fields.
Now, the direction of wave motion can be estimated by taking the cross-product of directional unit vectors of the electric and magnetic fields.
The electric field is in the +y direction and the magnetic field is in the +x-direction.
So, the direction of the wave will be,
[tex]i\times j=k[/tex]
Therefore, the direction of motion of electromagnetic wave will be +z-direction.

Two narrow slits are illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 593 nm. The interference pattern on a screen located x = 4.80 m away shows that the fourth-order bright fringe is located y = 8.20 cm away from the central bright fringe. Calculate the distance between the two slits.
Answer:
The distance is [tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 593 \ nm = 593 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is x = 4.80 m
The location of the fourth order bright fringe is y = 8.20 cm = 0.082 m
The order of the fringe is n = 4
Generally the position of a fringe with respect to the central fringe is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{ n * x * \lambda }{d}[/tex]
Where d is the distance between the slits, so making d the subject
[tex]d = \frac{\lambda * x * n }{ y }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]d = \frac{ 593 *10^{-9} * 4.80 * 4 }{ 0.082 }[/tex]
[tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
A force of pounds makes an angle of with a second force. The resultant of the two forces makes an angle of to the first force. Find the magnitudes of the second force and of the resultant.
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
A force of 193 pounds makes an angle of 79°14' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces makes an angle of 27°0' to the first force. Find the magnitudes of the second force and of the resultant.
Answer:
magnitudes of the second force (vector) is 110.84 lb
the resultant force force has a magnitude of 239.85 lb
Explanation:
Given that;
Magnitude of resultant vector R = ?
Direction of resultant vector α = 27°0'
Magnitude of vector p = 193
Magnitude of vector Q = ?
Angle between two vectors ∅ = 79°14'
Using the formula
tan∝ = [ Qsin∅ / P + Qcos∅]
tan27°0' = [ Qsin79°14' / 193 + Qcos79°14' )
we cross multiply
(193tan27°0') + (Qcos79°14'tan27°0' ) = Qsin79°14'
Q = 193tan27°0' / (sin79°14' - cos79°14'tan27°0')
Q = 110.84 lb
Therefore magnitudes of the second force (vector) is 110.84 lb
Now
R = √( p² + Q² + 2PQcos∅ )
R = √( 193² + 110.84² + ( 2 × 193 × 110.84 × cos79°14'))
R = 239.85 lb
Therefore the resultant force force has a magnitude of 239.85 lb

Answer:
a) q = 7.5 10⁻² C , b) 190 J , c) I₀ = 50 A , d) 1.5 mC
Explanation:
The expression for capacitance is
C = q / DV
q = C DV
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
ΔV = 5 kV = 5000 V
C = 15 μF = 15 10⁻⁶ F
t = 90 μs = 90 10⁻⁶ s
q = 15 10⁻⁶ 5000
q = 7.5 10⁻² C
b) the energy in a capacitor is
U = ½ C ΔV²
U = ½ 15 10⁻⁶ 5000²
U = 1,875 10² J
answer 190 J
c) At the moment the discharge begins, all the current is available and it decreases with time,
whereby
V = I R
in the first instant I = Io
I₀ = V / R
I₀ = 5000/100
I₀ = 50 A
but this is for a very short time
answer 50 A
d) The definition of current is
i = dq / dt
in this case they give us the total current and the total time, so we can find the total charge
i = q / t
q = i t
q = 17 90 10⁻⁶
q = 1.53 10⁻³ C
answer is 1.5 mC
Ocean waves with a wavelength of 120 m are coming in at a rate of 8 per minute. What is their speed?
Explanation:
We know that,
[tex]v(wave \: speed) = f(frequency) \times \alpha (wavelength)[/tex]
frequency (f) = 1 / t (sec) = 8/60 = 0.13 Hz
V ( wave speed) = 0.13 * 120 = 16 m/sec
The speed of the given wave is equal to 15.96 m/s.
What are frequency and wavelength?The frequency of the wave can be defined as the number of oscillations of a wave in one second. The frequency has S.I. units which can be expressed as per second or hertz (Hz).
The wavelength can be described as the distance between the two adjacent points in phase. Two crests or two troughs of a wave are separated by a distance is called wavelength.
The relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), and wave speed (V):
V = νλ
Given, the frequency of the wave, ν = 8 min⁻¹ = 0.133 s⁻¹
The wavelength of the wave, λ = 120 m
The speed of the waves can calculate from the above-mentioned relationship:
V = νλ = 120 × 0.133 = 15.96 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave is equal to 15.96 m/s.

?a wire is stretched 30% what is the percentage change in resistance
Answer:
The percentage change in resistance of the wire is 69%.
Explanation:
Resistance of a wire can be determined by,
R = (ρl) ÷ A
Where R is its resistance, l is the length of the wire, A its cross sectional area and ρ its resistivity.
When the wire is stretched, its length and area changes but its volume and resistivity remains constant.
[tex]l_{o}[/tex] = 1.3l, and [tex]A_{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex]
So that;
[tex]R_{o}[/tex] = (ρ[tex]l_{o}[/tex]) ÷ [tex]A_{o}[/tex] = (ρ × 1.3l) ÷ ([tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex])
= (1.3lρ) ÷ ([tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex])
= [tex](1.3)^{2}[/tex] × [(ρl) ÷ A]
= 1.69R (∵ R = (ρl) ÷ A)
[tex]R_{o}[/tex] = 1.69R
Where [tex]R_{o}[/tex] is the new resistance, [tex]l_{o}[/tex] is the new length, and [tex]A_{o}[/tex] is the new area after stretching the wire.
The change in resistance of the wire = [tex]R_{o}[/tex] - R
= 1.69R - 1R
= 0.69R
The percentage change in resistance = [tex]\frac{0.69R}{R}[/tex] × 100
= 0.69 × 100
= 69%
The percentage change in resistance of the wire is 69%.

A 300 MWe (electrical power output) Power Plant having a thermal efficiency of 40% is cooled by sea water. Due to environmental regulations the seawater can only increase temperature by 5 C during the process. How much sea water (minimum) must be used in kg/s for cooling if the plant operates at it's rated capacity?
Answer:
m = 22,877 kg / s
Explanation:
Let's solve this exercise in parts, first look for the amount of heat generated by the plant and then the amount of water to dissipate this heat
The plant generates a power of 300 MW at a rate of 40%, let's use a direct ratio rule to find the heat. If the power is 400 MW it corresponds to 40%, what heat (Q) corresponds to the other 60%
Q = 300 60% / 40%
Q = 450 MW
having the amount of heat generated we can use the calorimeter equation,
Q = m [tex]c_{e}[/tex] [tex](T_{f} - T_{o})[/tex]
m = Q / c_{e} (T_{f} - T_{o})
let's use the maximum temperature change allowed
(T_{f} - T_{o}) = 5
the specific heat of sea water is 3934 J / kg ºC, note that it is less than that of pure water, due to the salts dissolved in sea water
power and energy are related
W = Q / t
Q = W t
let's calculate
m = 450 10⁶ / (3934 5)
m = 22,877 kg / s
If the solenoid is 45.0 cm long and each winding has a radius of 8.0 cm , how many windings are in the solenoid
Answer:
The number of windings is 1.
Explanation:
The radius of the solenoid = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m
Length of the solenoid = 45.0 cm = 0.45 m
number of turn = ?
circumference of each winding = 2πr = 2 x 3.142 x 0.08 = 0.503 m
The number of windings = (Length of the solenoid)/(circumference of each winding)
==> 0.45/0.503 = 0.89 ≅ 1

Draw a free body diagram for each sphere. Both spheres have three forces acting on them:
Weight force mg pulling down,
Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,
and tension force T pulling tangential to the surface.
Sum of forces on A in the tangential direction:
∑F = ma
T − m₁g sin α = 0
T = m₁g sin α
Sum of forces on B in the tangential direction:
∑F = ma
T − m₂g sin β = 0
T = m₂g sin β
Substituting:
m₁g sin α = m₂g sin β
m₁ sin α = m₂ sin β
(1 kg) sin α = (√3 kg) sin (π/2 − α)
1 sin α = √3 cos α
tan α = √3
α = π/3
β = π/6

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
Answer:
Its traveling in the +x direction
Explanation:
The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.
The electromagnetic wave is travelling in the +x direction.
Electromagnetic waves are waves formed as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
Given that:
Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt)
Hence the electric field is moving in the +y direction.
Also, Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt)
Hence the magnetic field is moving in the +z direction
Electric fields and magnetic fields (E and B) in an EM wave are perpendicular to each other and are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
Therefore the direction of the wave is travelling in the +x direction.

3. Let the slits have a width 0.310 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?
4. What is the intensity at the angular position of θ2?
Answer:
1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2) θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4) I / Io = 0.216
Explanation:
In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ / d
θ = sin⁻¹ λ / d
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
λ = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹ θ = 0.00118 radm
d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³
let's calculate
θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00118 rad
2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2
θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)
θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00236 rad
3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains
I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )
where the function sinc = sin x / x
and b is the width of the slits
we caption the values
x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 2.21
I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²
remember angles are in radians
I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2
I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318
I / I₀ = 0.1738
4) the maximum second intensity is
I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)
x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 4.41
I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²
I / Io = cos² 6.273 0.216
I / Io = 0.216
