B. travels in a vacuum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are periodic oscillations of an electric field and a magnetic field, which occur perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. The main property of these waves is that they do not a medium to propagate: in fact, electromagnetic waves can also travel in a vacuum (e.g. they can travel in space).

On the contrary, mechanical waves are oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they do need a medium to propagate.

Therefore, the main difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves is that the former can travel in a vacuum, while the latter cannot.

To practice problem-solving strategy 26.1 resistors in series and parallel. two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source

hichkok12 [17]

Emf e = 11
r 1 = 3.0
r 2 = 3.0
r 3 = ?

The two in parallel are equivalent to 3 • 3/6 = 1.5 Ω
To have 2.4 volts across them, the current is I = 2.4/1.5 = 1.6 amps. and the unknown R = (11–2.4) / 1.6 = 5.375 Ω or 5.4 Ω

Answer:

T = 0.607 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Mass, M = 1.50 × 10⁻² kg

Radius, R = 5.50 × 10⁻² m

Now,

the time period in terms of moment of inertia is given as:
