Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.
Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves
Answer:
1. G.P.E = 24 J
2. center of mass
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2kg
Height, h = 1.2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

Where;
- G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
- h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.
Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.
The answer is P-waves and S-waves
Answer:The distance and magnitude of displacement are sometimes equal." Jafar is correct. The distance traveled and the magnitude of displacement are equal if and only if the path is a straight line in one direction.
