A) True

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel.

B) False.

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel. So they can not travel in empty space.

C) False

Sound is a mechanical wave since it needs a medium to travel. light wave is electromagnetic wave and it can travel in empty space too.

D) False

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel. So they can not travel in empty space.

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do

Flauer [41]

<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

Find the work done:

$work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule$

Find the time taken

$power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second$

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.

Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

here we know that

$h = 18 m$

$g = 9.8 m/s^2$

now by the above formula

$18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

$18 = 4.9 t^2$

$t = 1.92 s$

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

$d = v_x * t$

$d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m$

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position
