Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical
waves?
A. They carry energy.
B. They have frequencies.
C. They have wavelengths.
D. They don't require a medium to travel through.


Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. They don't require a medium to travel through.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves are both types of waves. Electromagnetic waves are waves that arise from the combination of electric and magnetic fields while mechanical waves are waves that arise as a result of transfer of energy via matter.

One major difference between these two types of waves is that electromagnetic waves such as light waves, radiowaves etc. do not need a medium to travel i.e. they can travel through a vacuum, while on the other hand, mechanical waves such as sound waves need a medium to travel.

Answer 2

Answer:

They don't require a medium to travel through

Explanation: hope this helps

/s (
) 66.0 m/
swards,​

Answers

Answer:

A. 66.0 m/s downwards

Explanation:

The Tower has a height of 444m

The book is dropped ,finding the velocity of the book 222m above the ground, means the book will be on air for a  height of 222 m .

Apply the formula for free fall in a horizontal projection as;

h= u²×sin²∅ /2g  where

h= maximum height =222m

g= acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s²

∅ = projectile angle = 0

u = velocity of the book

Applying the formula as ;

h= u²×sin²∅ /2g

222 = u²/2*9.81

222*19.62 = u²

4355.64 = u²

√4355.64 = u

65.99 m/s = u

What is the function of mitochondria?

Answers

Answer:

The mitochondria is a cell organelle that provides energy for the cells.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

All living organisms such as plants and animals require energy to function properly (life activities). Thus, the organelle where energy from nutrients is released is generally referred to as mitochondria.

Animals retrieve energy using mitochondria to do cellular respiration because they typically act like a digestive system by taking in nutrients, breaking them down and obtaining energy rich molecules for cell-life activities.

Basically, mitochondria is one of the cell organelles found in all living organisms and it is known as the powerhouse. Therefore, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

A car is traveling with 90km/hr and another car with 20m/s in opposite direction. Calculate the relative velocity.

Answers

Answer:

Vba = -20 m/s - 25 m/s = -45 m/s

Vab = 25 m/s + 20 m/s = 45 m/s

Explanation:

Relative Velocity

The relative velocity of object B with respect to object A (Vba) measures the velocity of B in the rest frame of object A.

It's calculated as:

Vba = Vb - Va

The velocity of car B is Vb=-20 m/s and the velocity of car A is Va=90 Km/h.

Converting Va to m/s:

Va = 90 Km/h * 1000/3600 = 25 m/s

Thus, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is:

Vba = -20 m/s - 25 m/s = -45 m/s

And the relative velocity of A with respect to B is:

Vab = 25 m/s + 20 m/s = 45 m/s

In the following figure identify ‘A’ and ‘B’ which represents different colours of the spectrum. Why does this phenomenon occur?

Answers

Answer:

A is red

B is violet

Explanation:

A has a high penetration power hence greatest frequency and short wavelength in accordance to the diagram above.

The color with greatest frequency is red.

B has the least penetration power as it is greatly refracted in accordance to the diagram which shows that it has least frequency and high wavelength.

The color of least frequency is violet.

Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. When you arrive, the odometer reads 42.6 miles. Looking at a map, you see the direct, straight-line distance is 30 miles due east. When you return home, what will be your distance and displacement for the round trip, in that order?

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.

weight hung from the spring
O temperature of the spring

Answers

Answer:

C). weight hung from the spring

Explanation:

An Independent variable is characterized as the variable that is controlled or manipulated by the experimenter in order to observe its change on the dependent variable.

In the given experiment, 'weight hung from the spring' is the independent variable as it is manipulated by the researcher in order to witness its impact on the dependent variable(how the spring stretches). It is the cause that causes an effect on the dependent variable. Any change in the former directly affects the latter. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

there are a number of types of asexual reproduction including fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and gamogenesis. Spore formation occurs in plants, and some algae and fungi, and will be discussed in additional concepts

the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female)

The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.

How does the number of batteries affect the strength of an electromagnet?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

It has been observed that the strength of electromagnets is based on the electrical current passing through their wires.

However, the number of batteries can affect the strength of electromagnets if only the electromagnet's resistance is what's hindering the current.

This can be observed when multiple batteries are connected thereby increasing the degrees of voltage across the electromagnet.

Two soccer players run toward each other. One player has a mass of 85 kg
and runs west with a speed of 8 m/s, while the other has a mass of 105 kg
and runs east with a speed of 7 m/s. What is the total momentum of the
system made up of the two players?

Answers

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 55 kg-m/s

It is given that,

Mass of player 1, m₁ = 85 kg

Mass of player 2, m₂ = 105 kg

Speed of player 1, v₁ = -8 m/s (west)

Speed of player 2, v₂ = 7 m/s (east)

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. For this system, momentum is given by :

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2p=m

+m

p=85\ kg\times (-8\ m/s)+105\ kg\times 7\ m/sp=85 kg×(−8 m/s)+105 kg×7 m/s

p = 55 kg-m/s

The total momentum of the system made up of the two players is 55 kg-m/s.

Answer:

p = 55 kg * m/s east

Explanation:

The answer above explains it neatly, but leaves the direction out of the answer. The player heading east has more momentum, so the net momentum of the system is east.

A truck travels at a constant acceleration of 3.6 m/s2. Find the mass of the truck if a
39,600 N net force is required to produce this acceleration.

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the truck is 11,000 Kg.

Explanation:

Mechanical Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

It's given a truck travels at a constant acceleration of [tex]a=3.6~m/s^2[/tex] when a net force of F=39,600 N is applied.

To find the mass of the truck, solve the equation for m:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{F}{a}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{39,600}{3.6}[/tex]

Operating:

m = 11,000 Kg

The mass of the truck is 11,000 Kg.

Please answer who is good at physics
I beg you!
It is urgent and I would be very grateful indeed if you would pls be so kind as to solve this problem and answer in a minute

Answers

With the equation Vf = Vi + at, you can determine the unknown variable. I presume that gravity is the acceleration, so 30 = 10 + 9.8(t) —> 20 = 9.8(t) —> 2.040816 = t

A falling object accelerates from -10.00 to-30.00m/s, it takes approximately 2.04 seconds for the falling object to accelerate from -10.00 m/s to -30.00 m/s.

To determine the time it takes for a falling object to accelerate from one velocity to another:

v = u + at

Here, it is given that:

Initial velocity (u) = -10.00 m/s

Final velocity (v) = -30.00 m/s

Since the object is falling, we can assume that the acceleration (a) is due to gravity and is approximately -9.8 m/s² (negative because it's directed downwards).

Substituting the values into the equation:

-30.00 = -10.00 + (-9.8)t

Simplifying the equation:

-30.00 + 10.00 = -9.8t

-20.00 = -9.8t

Dividing both sides by -9.8:

t = -20.00 ÷ -9.8

t ≈ 2.04 seconds

Thus, it takes approximately 2.04 seconds for the falling object to accelerate from -10.00 m/s to -30.00 m/s.
