Electromagnetic waves carry energy. This phenomenon is also called electromagnetic radiation. How is energy transferred in electromagnetic waves?
A)
Energy is transferred as the electric and magnetic fields regenerate each
other.
B)
Energy is transferred through the magnetic component of the
electromagnetic wave.
9.
Energy is transferred through the electric component of the
electromagnetic wave.
Energy is pushed from one point to the next along with the moving
electromagnetic wave.
D)

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
