The correct answer is "radio waves".

In fact, sound waves and seismic waves are mechanical waves, which means they are waves which move through a medium, but space is basically vacuum, so there is no medium and they cannot propagate through vacuum. Instead, radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which can also propagate without a medium, so radio waves can also propagate through space.

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

v=115 m/s

or

v=414 km/h

Explanation:

Given data

A_{area}=0.140m^{2}\\  p_{air}=1.21 kg/m^{3}\\  m_{mass}=80kg

To find

Terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour)

Solution

At terminal speed the weight equal the drag force

mg=1/2*C*p_{air}*v^{2}*A_{area}\\   v=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*g}{C**p_{air}*A_{area}} }\\ Where C=0.7\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*80}{1.21*0.14*0.7} }\\ v=115m/s

For speed in km/h(kilometers per hour)

To convert m/s to km/h you need to multiply the speed value by 3.6

v=(115*3.6)km/h\\v=414km/h

What is the kinetic energy of a vehicle that has a mass of 3,500 kg and is moving at 40 m/s
stiv31 [10]

Answer:2800000j

Explanation:

For us to know the kinetic energy of the vehicle,

Where m is the mass

And v is the velocity

Then, K.E=1/2mv^2

While, K.E=1/2×3500×40^2

Therefore, our answer will now be

K.E=2800000j

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.

Which statement best describes how light waves travel in a uniform medium. A. in straight lines. . B. in extending circles. . C.
Tanya [424]
Light waves travel in straight lines when they are travelling in a uniform medium. This is because the waves are travelling at the same speed.

A).  Her distance traveled was (700m + 500m) = <em>1,200 meters</em>

B).  Her displacement was (700m north + 500m south) = <em>200 meters north</em>

C).  Her average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (1,200 meters) / (15 seconds)

<em>Speed = 80 meters/second</em>

(Layne is an incredible walker !  That's about 179 miles per hour.)

(She walks 700m in 10 seconds.  Usain Bolt runs only 100m in 10 seconds.)

D).  Her averge velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Velocity = (200 meters north) / (15 seconds)

<em>Velocity = (13 and 1/3) m/s north</em>

(This is only about 33% faster than Usain Bolt, if he went straight instead of doubling back, and if he could keep it up for 200 meters instead of only 100 meters.)
