Light has been measured as traveling at 3×108 m/s in a vacuum. Which of the following also travels at the speed of light, and wh

y?
A
Ultrasound waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because there is no matter to reduce their speed.

B
Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like light.

C
Electrons in a current carrying wire travel at the speed of light because they have very little mass.

D
Gas particles at the center of an atomic explosion travel at the speed of light because the explosion creates an extreme outward force.

Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like a light has been measured as traveling at 3×10^8 m/s in a vacuum.

Charged particles that are accelerating, like time-varying electric currents, are what produce radio waves. Radio and television signals are transmitted using radio waves, and microwaves used in radar and microwave ovens are also radio waves. Radio waves are emitted by a lot of celestial bodies, including pulsars. High RF exposure levels have the potential to heat biological tissue and raise body temperature. The body's inability to handle or remove the extra heat that could be generated by high RF exposure in humans could result in tissue damage.

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south
Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, m_{1} = 72 kg

speed, v_{1} = 5.8 m/s

Mass_{2},m_{2}  = 45 kg

speed_{2},v_{2}  = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

m_{1} X v_{1} + m_{2} X v_{2} = (m_{1} +m_{2} ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X \frac{0.5}{117}

v = 417.6 + \frac{270}{117}

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

1. Magnetic properties of a substance depends on the structure of its valence electrons. It has something to do with orbitals so I suggest you study about molecular geometry of a compound/substance firstIt's the way a substance's atoms fit together, being pulled and pushed from all sides equally. exists in metallic bonds <span>if a substance is said to be magnetic, it is simply attracted by a magnet. if it is paramagnetic, it is repelled by a magnet.

2.</span>The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa<span> An electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid. The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles. The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.</span>
