Mechanical Wave cannot travel in space vaccumes, which would be considered "Empty Space" in your situation.

A mechanical cannot travel through empty space. So option (d) is correct.

A mechanical wave is a wave which needs a material medium for its propagation. For example sound, water waves etc . The medium required by the wave can be a solid, liquid or a gas. Empty space doesn't have any medium, so a mechanical wave cannot travel through empty space.

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

$AB$ = 155 ft

$Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft$

$Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft$

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

$AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft$

$d$ = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

$d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft$

In the diagram below, a heavy box is being lifted. What is the function of the pulley in this situation?

zepelin [54]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The function of the pulley in this situation is to change the direction of the input force. The pulley simply turns a force in one direction into a force in another direction. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
