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.

HELP ME PLEASE<br> I don’t know what the answer is.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

Solids.Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid are packed against each other. When a vibration begins, the molecules of a solid immediately collide and the compression wave travels rapidly.Sound moves slowest through a gas. That’s because the molecules in a gas are spaced very far apart. In order for sound to travel through air, the floating molecules of matter must vibrate and collide to form compression waves. Because the molecules of matter in a gas are spaced far apart, sound moves slowest through a gas.

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are packed more closely together. This means that when the water molecules begin to vibrate, they quickly begin to collide with each other forming a rapidly moving compression wave.

A large ant is standing on the middle of acircus tightrope that is stretched with tension Ts. The rope has mass per unit length
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

The ant , at some point of time will be standing on the crest of moving wave passing under its feet . At that position the downward acceleration of the ant will be equal to its weight . Hence it will feel weightlessness . So at that time

Acceleration = g

Acceleration at the top position = ω²A where ω is angular velocity and A is amplitude of vibration ( transverse ) of crest .

ω =2 π n where n is frequency of transverse vibration of particles. This angular frequency will be equal to angular  frequency of wave travelling on the rope .

frequency  of travelling  wave

n.= \frac{1}{\gamma}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

ω =2 π  x \frac{1}{\gamma}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

ω² = 4π² x T/γ²μ}

For weightlessness

ω² A = g

A= g x γ²μ / 4π² T

1. The inlet section of a vacuum cleaner is a rectangle, 1 in by 5 in. The blower is able to provide suction at 25 cubic feet pe
adoni [48]

Answer:

average velocity at the inlet = 3.66 m/s

Explanation:

given data

discharge Q =  25 ft³ /min = \frac{25}{60}  = 0.417 ft³  

vacuum cleaner = 1 in by 5 in = \frac{1}{12} \ by\   \frac{5}{12}   ft

solution

we know discharge that is express as

Q = Area × Velocity   .............1

put here value and we will get  average velocity at the inlet

average velocity at the inlet = \frac{0.417}{\frac{1}{12} \frac{5}{12} }  

average velocity at the inlet = 3.66 m/s

NARA [144]

Answer:

If the end of the tube is uncovered such that the air at the end of the tube can freely vibrate when the sound wave reaches it, then the end is referred to as an open end. If both ends of the tube are uncovered or open, the musical instrument is said to contain an open-end air column.

Explanation: hope this helps:)
