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.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $v =0.333 \ m/s$ in positive x -direction

The speed is $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is D = 20 m

The distance traveled back to retrieve wind-blown hat is d = 15

The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is k = 20 m

The total time taken is t = 75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

$L = 20 - 15 + 20$

=> $L = 25 \ m$

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{L}{t}$

=> $v = \frac{25}{75}$

=> $v =0.333 \ m/s$

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as

$R = D+ d + k$

=> $R = 20 + 15 +20$

=> $R = 55 \ m$

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{R}{ t}$

=> $s = \frac{55}{ 75}$

=> $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The SI units of A, B and C are :

$m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:

$x=A+Bt+Ct^2$

Where

t is time in seconds

We know that the unit of x is meters, such that the units of A, Bt and $Ct^2$ must be meters. So,

$A=m$

$bt=m$

$b=\dfrac{m}{s}=m/s$

$Ct^2=m$

$C=m/s^2$

So, the SI units of A, B and C are :

$m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2$

So, the correct option is (B).

In what state must matter exist for fusion reactions to take place

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Plasma

Explanation:

For a fusion reaction to take place, there must be conditions in which the particles have extreme thermal kinetic energies, in this way the collisions that cause the nuclear fusion are generated. Therefore, it is necessary to reach very high temperatures, in which the state of matter will necessarily be plasma.

A pendulum with a length of 2 m has a period of 2.8 s. What is the period of a pendulum with a length of 8 m

Ugo [173]

Answer:

P = 2 pi (L / g)^1/2

P2 / P1 = (8 / 2)^1/2 = 2

The period would be twice as long or 5.6 sec.
