<u>Answer:</u> The waves that travel through a medium is electromagnetic waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are two types of waves:

  • <u>Electromagnetic waves:</u> These are waves which can travel through vacuum. These have electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They travel with the speed of light. They does not require a medium to travel. For Example: Infrared waves, Microwaves
  • <u>Mechanical waves:</u> These are the waves that require a medium to travel so that they can transport their energy from one location to another. For Example:  Sound waves

Hence, the waves that travel through a medium is electromagnetic waves.

Answer:

The energy of a mechanical wave can travel only through matter. The matter through which the wave travels is called the medium (plural, media). The medium in the water wave pictured above is water, a liquid. But the medium of a mechanical wave can be any state of matter, even a solid.Nov 1, 2012

PLEASE HELP!! ITS URGENT!!!​
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

F = 800 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.

We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

(m_{1}*v_{1}) - F*t = (m_{1}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]

v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

t = time = 0.0015 [s]

v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0

(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]

Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.
