Why is sound not an electromagnetic wave

Physics

Answer:

There is no sound in space because there are no molecules there to transmit the sound waves. Electromagnetic waves are not like sound waves because they do not need molecules to travel. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel through air, solid objects and even space.

A piece of tape is pulled from a spool and lowered toward a 120-mg scrap of paper. Only when the tape comes within 8.0 mm is the
Anton [14]

Answer:

1.176\times 10^{-3} N

Upward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of scarp paper,m=120 mg=120\times 10^{-6}kg

1mg=10^{-6} mkg

Distance,d =8 mm=8\times 10^{-3} m

Magnitude of electric force =F_E= w=mg

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

F_E=120\times 10^{-6}\times 9.8

F_E=1.176\times 10^{-3} N

Gravitational force act in  downward direction.

The electric force acts in opposite direction and magnitude of electric force is equal to gravitational force.

Hence, the direction of electric force is upward.

We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?
Olin [163]
Sound spreads through some kind of medium. Most of the time the medium is usually air. Sound can go through walls, like when you are playing really loud music and the neighbors tell you its to loud, you can't block it because it can travel through objects. Light does not need a medium to travel with. if you put a light in a room with no windows and no cracks, and you seal off the door the light can't escape that room, but if you did the same thing with sound it would travel trough the walls.

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 m/s. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.3 seconds. What is the magnit
ser-zykov [4K]
We know, F = m.a
Here, m = 1.5 Kg
a = v/t = 2/0.3 = 6.67 m/s

Substitute their values, 
F = 1.5 * 6.67
F = 10 N

In short, Your Answer would be 10 Newtons

Hope this helps!
