Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium of matter to move through, electromagnetic waves are used in things like your cell phone and telecommunications.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

Adam drops a ball from rest from the top floor of a building at the same time Bob throws a ball horizontally from the same locat

guapka [62]

Answer:

Both balls hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

Adam drops the ball from rest, so the ball just "falls" in vertical direction, being gravity its only acceleration, for cinematic movements we use that:

$y(t)=y_{0}+v_{0y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

In this case we have that gravity is negative, and as Adam drops the ball, $v_{0y}=0$

Bob throws the ball horizontally, so the movement will be a parabola, we can divide into horizontal direction, and vertical direction.

But we only need to analize the vertical movement, in wich again the only acceleration is gravity, and compare it with Adam's ball. Again we have that gravity is negative, and as the initial throw is horizontal, $v_{0y}=0$

Finally, we have that

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

where

$h=y_{0}$

both for Adam's vertical drop, and for Bob's vertical component of the parabolic throw.

Now, if we put $y(t)=0$ (the origin of the vertical coordinate), we get for both cases that

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

where we can clear the value for the time t, of the fall, wich will be the same in both cases.

Hence, both balls hit the ground at the same time.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this problem you have to know the depth of the column, we say R, this information is important because allows you to compute some harmonic of the tube. With this information you can compute the depth of the colum of air, by taking tino account that the new depth is R-L.

To find the fundamental mode you use:

$f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}$
