Which are characteristics of electromagnetic waves?check all that apply.
2 answers:
Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, )
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave

The momentum of the object is 8050 kg m/s
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is defined as
where
p is the momentum
m is the mass
v is the velocity of the object
For the object in this problem, we have
m = 500 kg is its mass
v = 58 km/h is its velocity
Converting the velocity into m/s,
Therefore now we can find the momentum of the object:
