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.

Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on bef

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Cheetah cubs are in danger from predators like lions and hyenas which can track their prey by scent and so the mother and her cubs leave an area when their scent is too strong so that they are not hunted and the cubs survive.

Mother Cheetahs also train their cubs to hunt so that they may get food for themselves which will ensure their survival as well thus showing that both of these practices can impact on reproductive success.

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the

tatuchka [14]

The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
$W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N$
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
$F=12 N$
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
$T \cos \alpha -F=0$
$T \sin \alpha -W=$
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
$\tan \alpha = \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04$
From which we find
$\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}$
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
$T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N$

Hemoglobin (Hb) is the O2-carrying protein in our blood. Unlike myoglobin, it has four sites allowing it to bind up to four O2 m

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Yes, the energy is not simply the sum of the individual binding energies at each site, it is the product of energy at each binding site of hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Myoglobin and hemoglobin are two different cells. Myoglobin binds only one oxygen while the hemoglobin has the ability to binds four oxygen atoms at its four sides. Myoglobin present in muscle tissue only while hemoglobin is present in the whole body. Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds with hemoglobin cell. This oxygen is take to all cells and energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with this oxygen.
