Answer: The correct answer is "A mechanical wave travels through matter, while an electromagnetic wave travels through empty space".
Explanation:
The difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave are as follows:
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibrations of the charged particles while the mechanical waves are caused by the wave amplitude.
Electromagnetic wave does not need medium while the mechanical wave need medium to travel. Mechanical wave can travel in solid, liquid and gas. Electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum.
Therefore, a mechanical wave travels through matter, while an electromagnetic wave travels through empty space.

Answer:
a = 3.27 m/s²
F = 32.7 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram. There are three forces:
Weight force mg pulling straight down.
Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the slope.
Friction force F pushing parallel up the slope.
Sum of forces in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
mg sin θ − F = ma
Sum of torques about the cylinder's axis:
∑τ = Iα
Fr = ½ mr²α
F = ½ mrα
Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, a = αr. Substituting:
F = ½ ma
Two equations, two unknowns (a and F). Substituting the second equation into the first:
mg sin θ − ½ ma = ma
Multiply both sides by 2/m:
2g sin θ − a = 2a
Solve for a:
2g sin θ = 3a
a = ⅔ g sin θ
a = ⅔ (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)
a = 3.27 m/s²
Solving for F:
F = ½ ma
F = ½ (20 kg) (3.27 m/s²)
F = 32.7 N
