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.

Vlad [161]

B. Energy

A power company charges its customers for electricity based upon B. Energy.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Kilo-watt Hours (kWh) is the unit that measures the electricity consumption of customers. Since Power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electrical circuit per unit time,

$P = \frac{E}{t} \\E= P\times t$

If energy is transmitted at a constant rate over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is the product of power in kilowatts(kW) and time in hours (h)

$1\ kWh = 3.6\times 10^6\ Joules$

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the

Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.

Option: B

<u>Explanation</u>:

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is $\mu\times N$

Where, $\mu$ is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.

A new roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radius of the loop i

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.

Explanation:

The radius of the loop is 17.6 m. We need to find the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top.

We know that, mg be the weight of car and rider, which is equal to the centripetal force.

$mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{rg}\\v = \sqrt{17.6\times 9.8}\\v = 13.13\ m/s\\$

So, the minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.
