Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

A 5 kg ball of clay is moving with a speed of 25 m/s directly toward a 10 kg ball of clay which is at rest. The two clay balls c
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

8.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

mass of clay ball  = 5kg

Speed of clay ball  = 25m/s

mass of clay ball at rest  = 10kg

speed of clay ball at rest  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Velocity after collision  = ?

Solution:

 Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:

   m1v1 + m2v2  = v(m1 + m2)

  5(25) + 10(0)  =  v (5 + 10)

         125 = 15v

           v  = 8.3m/s
