Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.

Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.

Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.

These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.

Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.

On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.

An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

How many degrees equal π in radians? How many revolutions (turns) equal π radians? ​
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

It follows that the magnitude in radians of one complete revolution (360 degrees) is the length of the entire circumference divided by the radius, or 2πr / r, or 2π. Thus 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that one radian is equal to 180/π ≈ 57.295779513082320876 degrees.

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w
Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

v_i = 5.10 m/s

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

d = -105 m

acceleration is due to gravity

a = -9.8 m/s^2

now by kinematics

y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2

4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0

by solving above equation we have

t = 5.2 s

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

3. How does Earth’s rotation affect our view of stars
Elis [28]
Since we ride along with the Earth while it's doing whatever it does,
the Earth's rotation causes our eyes to constantly point in a different
direction.

If we try to keep watching one star, we have to keep changing the
direction of our eyes to keep looking at the same star. 

We can't feel the Earth rotating, so our brains say that the star  ... and
the sun and the moon too ... is actually moving across the sky.
