Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate means they can travel through air and solid material and the vacuum of space too.

they move the fastest through gases mostly because particles in gases are spread out more than the particles in solids or in liquids so they move quickly through gases.

Answer:

$k = 11600000 N/m$

$\Delta L = 3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m$

$F = 3750.28 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Young modulus is $E = 1.4 *10^{10} \ N/m^2$

The length is $L = 0.35 \ m$

The area is $2.9 \ cm^2 = 2.9 *10^{-4} \ m ^2$

Generally the force acting on the tibia is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{E * A * \Delta L }{L}$ derived from young modulus equation

Now this force can also be mathematically represented as

$F = k * \Delta L$

$k = \frac{E * A }{L}$

substituting values

$k = \frac{1.4 *10^{10} * 2.9 *10^{-4} }{ 0.35}$

$k = 11600000 N/m$

Since the tibia support half the weight then the force experienced by the tibia is

$F_k = \frac{750 }{2} = 375 \ N$

From the above equation the extension (compression) is mathematically represented as

$\Delta L = \frac{ F_k * L }{ A * E }$

substituting values

$\Delta L = \frac{ 375 * 0.35 }{ (2.9 *10^{-4}) * 1.4*10^{10} }$

$\Delta L = 3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m$

From the above equation the maximum force is

$F = \frac{1.4*10^{10} * (2.9*10^{-4}) * 3.233*10^{-5} }{ 0.35}$

$F = 3750.28 \ N$
