Answer:

True

Explanation:

A wave is generated as a result of oscillations which creates disturbances in the medium and these disturbances termed as waves propagates or travels from one point to another.

Waves can be classifies as:

Mechanical waves which requires material medium for their propagation

Electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium to propagate.

A wave travels at a specific velocity depending on the type of the medium in which it propagates.

I need help on number 2 and 3

irinina [24]

For 2 draw the molucules very close together. because in soilds the molucules are VERY close to gether.

and for 3 Draw them with a lot of space apart from each other. Molucules move freely and openly in air and space.

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest! Thanks!! :D

Even in the most advanced circuits, we cannot oscillate electrons back and forth at that rate through wires. But we can oscillat

den301095 [7]

Answer:

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the 10⁸ Hz = 100 MHz range

Explanation:

The speed of a wave of radio, television, light, heat, all are manifestations of electromagnetic waves that are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that support each other, the speed of all these waves is the same and the vacuum is equal to c = 3 108 m / s

All waves have a relationship between the speed of the wave, its frequency and wavelength

c = λ f

f = c /λ

for this case lam = 1 m

f = 3 10⁸/1

f = 3 10⁸ Hz

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the MHz range

It should be clarified that the speed of light in air is a little lower

n = c / v

v = c / n

the refractive index of vacuum is n = 1 and the refractive index of air is n = 1.000002

How does radioactive decay work

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

Answer:

The total distance is 381.5 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics. The clue to solve this problem is that the motorcyclist starts from rest, i.e. its initial speed is zero.

$v_{f} =v_{o} +(a*t)$

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 2 [m/s²]

t = time = 7 [s]

Vf = 0 + (2*7)

Vf = 14 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

$v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x$

where

x = distance traveled [m]

14² = 0 + (2*7*x)

x = 196/(14)

x = 14 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

The other important clue to solve this problem in the second part is that the final velocity is now the initial velocity.

We must calculate the final velocity.

$v_{f}= v_{i} +(a*t)$

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 14 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 4 [m/s²]

t = time = 8 [s]

Vf = 24 + (4*8)

Vf = 56 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

$v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x$

where

x = distance traveled [m]

56² = 14² + (2*4*x)

x = 2940/(8)

x = 367.5 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

Therefore the total distance is Xt = 14 + 367.5 = 381.5 [m].
