<h3>Answer;</h3>

Mechanical waves; 

sound waves
waves in a wheat field
water waves

 Electromagnetic waves

Radio waves
Ultraviolet

<h3> Explanation;</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one place, the source to another.
Waves can be classified as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves depending on the requirement of a material medium.
Mechanical waves are those waves that require a material medium for transmission, they include, sound waves, water waves, etc. The transmission of these waves is by vibration of particles in the medium.
Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.They include, radio waves, microwaves, and all the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

Two vectors are presented as a=3.0i +5.0j and b=2.0i+4.0j find (a) a x b, ab (c) (a+b)b and (d) the component of a along the dir

Svet_ta [14]

Let's ask this question step by step:
Part A)
a x b = (3.0i + 5.0j) x (2.0i + 4.0j) = (12-10) k = 2k
ab = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
Part (c)
(a + b) b = [(3.0i + 5.0j) + (2.0i + 4.0j)]. (2.0i + 4.0j)
(a + b) b = (5.0i + 9.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j)
(a + b) b = 10 + 36
(a + b) b = 46
Part (d)
comp (ba) = (a.b) / lbl
a.b = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
lbl = root ((2.0) ^ 2 + (4.0) ^ 2) = root (20)
comp (ba) = 26 / root (20)
answer
2k
26
46
26 / root (20)
