The answer is D.

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel, for example, sound is a mechanical wave. You are able to hear other people because the sound wave is travelling trough a fluid -air-. If you were to be in space -vacuum- you would not be able to hear anything. 

The most well known example of an electromagnetic wave is light. As you may have noticed, we're able to get the light from the Sun to Earth; clearly light -electromagnetic wave- is able to travel in vacuum/space (i.e., without a medium).

What is the total resistance in the circuit? (include unit in answer - ohms)
solmaris [256]

Answer:60 ohms

Explanation:

R1=30 ohms

R2=15 ohms

R3=15 ohms

Let the total resistance be R

R=R1 + R2 + R3

R=30 + 15 +15

R=60

Total resistance is 60 ohms

Static, sliding and rolling are types of friction true or false
Marina CMI [18]
True because friction happens when two things are rubbed against each other and it creates force and sliding something vigorously against something else can create force.

You are an evolutionary biologist studying a population of bats in the rain forest in Brazil. Most of the population possesses m
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.

a coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with aresistance of 8ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of
Andreyy89

Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds
