A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

A cart of mass m = 0.12 kg moves with a speed v = 0.45 m/s on a frictionless air track and collides with an identical cart that

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

The escape speed from an object is v2 = 2GM/R, where M is the mass of the object, R is the object's starting radius, and G is th

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Explanation:

Escape speed

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Here we have

Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

R = 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m

M = 2.3 × 10³⁰ kg

Substituting

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2.3\times 10^{30}}{1.496\times 10^{11}}}=4.53\times 10^4m/s=45.3km/s$

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

The radius of earth is 6,370,000 m. Express this measurement in km in scientific notation with the correct number of significant

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m = 6,370,000 x 0.001

= 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

= 6.37 x 10³ Km

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr

yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area
