Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

1 answer:

4 0

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

Amount of force exerted on an object due to gravity is called

MAXImum [283]

The gravitational force between a mass and the Earth is the object'sweight. Mass is considered a measure of an object's inertia, and its weight is the force exerted on the object in a gravitational field. On the surface of the Earth, the two forces are related by the acceleration due to gravity: Fg = mg.

d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved? 18. ||| A man pulling an empty wagon causes it to accelerate at 1.4 m/s

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

$a' = 0.35 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Let say the empty wagon has mass "M"

now by newton's II Law we will have

$F = Ma$

now it is given that empty wagon is pulled with acceleration 1.4 m/s/s

now we will have

$F = 1.4 M$

now a child of mass three times the mass of wagon is sitting on the empty wagon

so here we have

$F = (M + 3M) a$

$1.4 M = 4M a'$

so we have

$a' = 0.35 m/s^2$

What are used for manufacturing paper along with wood and chemicals

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Paper and pulp are made from cellulosic fibers and other plant materials. Some synthetic materials may be used to impart special qualities to the finished product. Paper is made from wood fibers, but rags, flax, cotton linters, and bagasse are also used in some papers.

The answer is destructive interference. You have this for both C and D. I suspect one of C or D is supposed to be constructive interference... But destructive interference is the answer
