Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not  require a medium to propagate . this means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials bit also through vacuum of space.

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25

a=-5.76m/sec^2

We know that acceleration is given by

a=\mu g

5.76=\mu\times  9.81

\mu =0.587

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

A bird is traveling west with a velocity of 8 m/s and momentum of 40 mg*m/s what's the birds mass?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

m = 5 [mg]

Explanation:

We must remember that the definition of linear momemtum is defined as the product of mass by distance.

P = m*v

P = momentum = 40 [mg*m/s]

m = mass [mg]

v = velocity = 8 [m/s]

Now clearing m:

m = P/v

m = 40/8

m = 5 [mg]

The outer planets are similar to the planet Earth; they just happen to be farther away from the Sun.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The inner planets are called terrestrial planets due to the surfaces are solid (similar to Earth)-made up of heavy metals, either have no moons or few moons.

The outer planets are called Jovian planets or gas giants because they are encased in gas.  They all have rings with plenty of moons.
