Answer:

Behaves as a wave.

Explanation:

The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.

Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.

One property that makes electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves is that they can

travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. Other waves need a medium; sound waves need molecules that vibrate.

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. What can you conclude from this fact?

Alja [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

If Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, we can conclude that:

- If neutral, it has 8 protons and 8 electrons

- It has 8 neutrons and its atomic mass is 16 (A = 8 + 8)

- It must be located in the group VI A

- Its valence number must be 6

- Its Oxidation number is -2

What force must the worker exert to get the box moving & what force must the worker exert to accelerate the box at 0.1 meter

photoshop1234 [79]

Since static friction is the minimum force required to just start the motion of a stationary object.

Here if we need to start an object from rest then we required F = 700 N

So for the first part of the above problem Force will be F = 700 N

Now if the box is already moving then we will have to use kinetic friction force between box and floor

now we can write the equation of net force as

$F - F_k = m*a$

here

$F_k = kinetic friction = 220 N$

$m = mass = 500 kg$

$a = acceleration = 0.1 m/s^2$

now we will have

$F - 220 = 500* 0.1$

$F = 220 + 50 = 270 N$

What force is needed to accelerate a 1,000-kilogram car from a stop to 5 m/s/s?

solong [7]

That depends on how soon you want it to reach 5 m/s/s. Without friction, ANY force will accelerate the car, like a mosquito pushing on it, but a Space Shuttle booster will accelerate it at a greater rate.
