-- As far as we know, the forces on the wheelbarrow are balanced.
-- That tells us that the net force on the wheelbarrow is zero, just
as if there were no forces acting on it at all.
-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow's acceleration is zero ... its
speed and direction of motion are not changing.
-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow is moving in a straight line
at a constant speed. It's very possible that relative to us, the speed
may be zero, but we can't tell that from the given information.
Electricity is NOT a part of electromagnetic spectrum.
An electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic radiations arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.
<h2>Further Explanation
</h2><h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>
- Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
- These waves are mostly transverse in nature, which means the direction of transmission is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.
- They include, light waves, radio waves, x-rays, infra-red, etc.
<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum
</h3>
- An electromagnetic wave shows electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.
- Electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic waves: Gamma rays, x-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves.
- The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into various sections based on wavelength, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and radio waves having the longest wavelength.
- The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see using our naked eyes is called the visible light spectrum.
- In order of frequency, the radio waves have the lowest frequency while gamma rays have the largest frequency.
<h3>General characteristics of electromagnetic waves </h3>
- They travel with the speed of light (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
- They possess energy that is given by; E =hf, where h is the plank’s constant and f is the frequency.
- They are transverse in nature, and therefore, the wavelength is measured between successful crests or troughs.
- They can travel through vacuum

Answer:
A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C) A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time
Explanation:
A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).
B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:
Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.
C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot". Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands. If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.
Answer:
For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
