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, c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

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

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would
Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m
