Answer: Mechanical waves carry energy through a medium; electromagnetic waves carry energy through media and space.

Explanation:

<u>The waves which require medium to travel are known as mechanical waves. </u>The waves carry energy forward by compression and rarefaction that is by changing density /pressure of medium particles.

<u>Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through space as well as medium. </u>In an electromagnetic wave, electric field generates magnetic field and magnetic field generates electric field. Electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of motion.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much electrical energy is used by the river cooker oven rated 800 W ,230 V is switched on for 30 minutes
mariarad [96]

Answer:

E = 1440 kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a cooker oven is 800 W

Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V

Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,

E=P\times t\\\\E=800\ W\times 1800\ s\\\\E=1440000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=1440\ kJ

So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.

At 1 atm pressure, the heat of sublimation of gallium is 277 kj/mol and the heat of vaporization is 271 kj/mol. to the correct n
Andreyy89
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

 a. 268 kJ 
<span>b. 271 kJ </span>
<span>c. 9 kJ </span>
<span>d. 6 kJ
</span>
So the key thing to realize here is what the information given to you actually means. Sublimation is going from a sold to a gas. Vaporization is going from a liquid to a gas. Hence you can create two equations from the information that you have: 

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (g) delta H = 277 kJ/mol </span>

<span>Ga (l) --> Ga (g) delta H = 271 kJ/mol </span>

<span>From these two equations, you can then infer how to get the melting equation be simply finding the difference between the sublimation (two steps) and vaporization (one step). </span>

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (l) delta H = 6 kJ/mol </span>

<span>At this point, all you need to do is a bit of stoichiometry. You start with 1.50 mol and multiply by the amount of energy per mole (6 kJ/mol). </span>

<span>*ANSWER* </span>
<span>9 kJ/mol (C)</span>

The force of attraction between a -130.0 C and +180.0 C charge is 8.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in me
kondaur [170]

Answer with Explanation:

The force of attraction between 2 charges of magnitudeq_1,q_2 separated by a distance 'r' is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _o}\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}=k\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}

where

\epsilon _o is a constant known as permitivity of free space

k=9\times 10^{9}Nm^2/C^2

Applying the given values in the above relation we get

8=9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{130\times 180}{r^{2}}\\\\r^{2}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 130\times 180}{8}\\\\r^{2}=26325\times 10^{9}\\\\\therefore r=\sqrt{26325\times 10^{9}}=5.131\times 10^{6}meters

What is the rising of rock layers called
Alex777 [14]

The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.
