Answer: reflection

Refraction

Energy

Speed

Explanation:

Reflection results when em wave hits a plane surface and returns in the same angle it incident

Refraction is the change in velocity and direction of em wave as it crosses boundaries of different medium

The energy of em wave is evenly distributed in electric field and magnetic field

The speed of em wave is the same as 3×10^8

The characteristics of electromagnetic waves typically represent as follows:

There are changes in the electric and magnetic fields simultaneously so that both fields have maximum and minimum values at the same time and place.
The direction of the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other. The direction of both is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
The shape of electromagnetic waves is transverse waves.
It has general wave characteristics like polarization, reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
The amount of the electric field (E) is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field, with the relationship E = cB.
The universal constant of the velocity of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is $\boxed{ \ c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s. \ }$
The speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate depends merely on the electrical and magnetic properties of the medium that it travels on.
Because electromagnetic waves do not contain an electric charge, they do not experience any possible deviation in the electric or magnetic fields.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Two physicists who contributed significantly to developing the concept of electromagnetic waves are Faraday and Maxwell around 1831-1864.
From the observations, Faraday suggested that changes in the magnetic field cause an electric charge to flow in the loop of wire, contributing in the emergence of an electric field.
Maxwell proposed a reverse process, which is a change in the electric field will generate a magnetic field.
As follows, according to Faraday's Law, changes in sinusoidal magnetic fields generate electric fields which also change sinusoidally.
Meantime, according to Maxwell's Hypothesis, changes in sinusoidal electric fields generate magnetic fields which also change sinusoidally.
Furthermore, there is a process of combining electric and magnetic fields that propagate in all directions called electromagnetic waves.

The Kentucky Derby is one of the most exciting horse races run every year. In 1973, the horse Secretariat set a record that stil

lawyer [7]

Answer:

69.44kJ

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv^2

m is the mass = 500kg

v is the velocity

Get the velocity;

v = displacement/time

velocity = 2000/120

velcoity = 16.7m/s

Gt the kinetic energy

KE = 1/2 * 500 * 16.7²

KE = 250*277.78

KE = 69,444.4Joules

Since 1000J = 1kJ

69,444.4Joules = 69,444.4/1000

69,444.4Joules = 69.44kJ

Hence the Secretariat's average kinetic energy is 69.44kJ

Your question: "the picture shows a professional diver with a mass of 93 kg from a 25 m high cliff. Earths Gravity is acting on

GuDViN [60]

When we see the words "Which statement ... ", we know right away that there
will be a list of choices, and we're expected to select our answer from that list.
Strangely, the list of answer-choices for this question has been lost.

Similarly, when we see the words "The picture shows ... ", it's hard to fight
the impulse to look around. In the present situation, <em>that's</em> missing too.

If the diver is just standing there, then the reaction force provided by the cliff
against his feet must be exactly equal to his weight. If the vertical forces acting
on the soles of his feet were not balanced, then his feet would be accelerating
vertically.

His weight is (mass) x (gravity) =

(93 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = <em>911.4 newtons</em> (about 205 pounds) .

That's also the strength of the upward reaction force provided by the cliff.

Atom X contains seven protons and seven neutrons. atom Z contains seven protons and eight neutrons. which of the following state

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

The mass number is given by:

$A = p + n$

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

$A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14$

$A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15$

Hence, they have a different mass number.

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is $^{14}_{7}N$ and the second isotope is $^{15}_{7}N$ . Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!
