What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave? A mechanical wave travels through empty space, whi

le an electromagnetic wave travels through matter. A mechanical wave has a short wavelength, while all electromagnetic waves have long wavelengths. A mechanical wave has a high frequency, while all electromagnetic waves have low frequencies. A mechanical wave travels through matter, while an electromagnetic wave travels through empty space.

Answer: The correct answer is "A mechanical wave travels through matter, while an electromagnetic wave travels through empty space".

Explanation:

The difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave are as follows:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibrations of the charged particles while the mechanical waves are caused by the wave amplitude.

Electromagnetic wave does not need medium while the mechanical wave need medium to travel. Mechanical wave can travel in solid, liquid and gas. Electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum.

Therefore, a mechanical wave travels through matter, while an electromagnetic wave travels through empty space.

If a car rolls gently off a vertical cliff, how long does it take to reach 90km/hr.
Naddik [55]
90 km/h : 3.6 = 25 m/s. If you know that on earth g = 9.81 m/s^2, then all you have to do is divide the speed by g. 25/9.81 = 2.548 seconds

At least, if by 'gently rolls off a vertical cliff' means that your starting velocity equals zero.

A basketball player standing up with the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v_o = 3.75 m/s from 2.5
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) The maximum height the ball will achieve above the launch point is 0.2 m.

b) The minimum velocity with which the ball must be launched is 4.43 m/s or 0.174 in/ms.

Explanation:

a)

For the height reached, we use 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vo²

Here,

Vo = 3.75 m/s

Vf =  0m/s, since ball stops at the highest point

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = maximum height reached by ball

therefore, eqn becomes:

2(-9.8m/s²)(h) = (0 m/s)² - (3.75 m/s²)²

<u>h = 0.2 m</u>

b)

To find out the initial speed to reach the hoop at height of 3.5 m, we again use 3rd eqn. of motion with h= 3.5 m - 2.5m = 1 m (taking launch point as reference), and Vo as unknown:

2(-9.8m/s²)(1 m) = (0 m/s)² - (Vo)²

(Vo)² = 19.6 m²/s²

Vo = √19.6 m²/s²

<u>Vo = 4.43 m/s</u>

Vo = (4.43 m/s)(1 s/1000 ms)(39.37 in/1 m)

<u>Vo = 0.174 in/ms</u>

An object has 100 J of kinetic energy and a mass of 2 g. How fast was it traveling?
iragen [17]

K.E = 1/2 mv²

100   = 1/2 (2 )(v)²

100  = both  2 cancel (v)²

Taking Square root on b/s

√100 = √v²

10  = v

Alinara [238K]
I would say that this passage is an example of the heliocentric correct view of the world with the sun and not the earth the center of our universe and this formed a very important part of the Renaissance wherein nature was examined first hand wherever possible to arrive at a much closer approximation of the truth than in Medieval or Classical times of Aristotle when idle speculation about nature was the order of the day.
