Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

If the net work done on an object is zero, what can you determine about the object's kinetic energy?(A) The object's kinetic ene
aev [14]

Answer:

(D) The object's kinetic energy is zero.

Explanation:

Work theory

Work (W) is defined as the product of force F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force:

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement.

Kinetic Energy Theory

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with bodies that are in motion, depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Ek =(1/2)*m*v²

The kinetic energy, Ek, is measured in joules (J), the mass, m, is measured in kilograms (kg) and the velocity, v, in meters / second (m / s).

Relationship between work and kinetic energy

A body remains at rest if the force applied is zero or if it does not move. In both cases the work will be zero.

For work and kinetic energy to have a non-zero value, the body must be in motion.

In other words, the work is equal to zero if there is no displacement, so its speed will be zero, the same as its kinetic energy.

Batman (mass = 96.1 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 458 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after the batman lands in it is +9.26 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Note: The collision between the Batman and the boat is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the Batman, u' = initial velcoity of the batman, m = mass of the boat, u = initial velocity of the boat, V = common velocity.

make V the subject of equation 1

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............... Equation 2

Given: m' = 96.1 kg, u' = 0 m/s, m = 458 kg, u = +11.3 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = [(96.1×0)+(458×11.2)]/(96.1+458)

V = 5129.6/554.1

V = +9.26 m/s
