Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from the other types of waves because they are energy waves which do not require material medium for their propagation, and as such they travel through vacuum.

Explanation:

A wave can be either mechanical or electromagnetic.

Electromagnetic waves are those types of waves which do not require material medium for their propagation. While mechanical waves are those types of waves which require material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves differ from the other types of waves because they are energy waves which do not require material medium for their propagation, and as such they travel through vacuum.

Correct answer choice is :



B) Able to travel through a vacuum.



Explanation:



Electromagnetic waves are applied to carry long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or services. They are also effective for transferring energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves change from mechanical waves in that they do not need a medium to generate. This means that electromagnetic waves can move not only in the air and solid matters but also in the void of space.

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 6.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? the density
Kobotan [32]
Assume that an ingot of copper has a mass of 9.1 kg or 9100 g.

The cross-sectional area of the copper wire with diameter of 6.5 mm (or 0.65 cm) is
A = (π/4)*(0.65 cm)² = 0.3318 cm²

The density of copper is given as 8.94 g/cm³.
If the length of copper wire is L cm, then 
(0.3318 cm²)*(L cm)*(8.94 g/cm³) = 9100 g
L = 9100/(0.3318*8.94) = 3.0678 x 10³ cm

Note that
1 cm = 1/2.54 in = 1/2.54 in = 0.3937 in
        = 0.3937/12 = 0.03281 ft

Therefore
L = (3.0678 x 10³ cm)*(0.03281 ft/cm) = 100.65 ft

Answer: 100.65 ft

A frame hanging on a wall is held by two cables. The tension in each cable is 30 N, and the cables make an angle of 45° with the
Dimas [21]

Answer: option D) 42.4 N

The weight of the frame is balanced by the vertical component of tension.

W = T sin θ + T sin θ = 2 T sin θ

The tension in each cable is T = 30 N

Angle made by the cables with the horizontal, θ = 45°

⇒ W = 2×30 N × sin 45° = 2 × 30 N × 0.707 = 42.4 N

Hence, the weight of the frame is 42.4 N. Correct option is D.

Calculate the propellant mass required to launch a 2000 kg spacecraft from a 180 km circular orbit on a Hohmann transfer traject
Finger [1]

Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec
