Answer:
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).
Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
is correct.
Other options are wrong because:
They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible
They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum
They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum,
, while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)

Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.
As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.
Answer:
A sample of 5.2 mg decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.
1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.
3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg
You can get these other numbers similarly:
5.2 / .0102 = 510 requires about 9 half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs
