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).

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\phi is magnetic flux

So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m
Over [174]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 is the water density

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

h=11,000 m is the depth

Substituting,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N

A sound source emits 20.0 W of acoustical power spread equally in all directions. The threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.0018 W/m²

Explanation:

Power and intensity are related as:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P=  20.0 W (given)

r = 30.0 m (given)

I=\frac{20.0}{4\pi(30.0)^2}=0.0018 W/m^2

Intensity in decibels:

I(dB)=10log\frac{I}{I_o}\\=10log\frac{0.0018}{10^{-12}}=92.5 dB
