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.

Lerok [7]

So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:

1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.

To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...

h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?

Alisiya [41]

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
$\Delta V = I R$
where
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and $R=330 \omega$ , so the potential difference is
$\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V$

Vitek1552 [10]

$height=\frac{velocity^2}{2gravity}\\\\
velocity=15\frac{m}{s}\\\\
g=9,8\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\height=\frac{15^2}{2*9,8}=\frac{225}{19,6}\\\\
\boxed{height=11,48\ meters}$
