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.

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 4.7 km. A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to the
Alika [10]
Well, for the distance traveled, the car goes from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. So, it travels half of the circle's circumference = 4.7/2 = 2.35 km.

For the displacement, by going from the northernmost point to the southernmost point, the car basically just travels the diameter of circle.

So, using the formula: Circumference = 2πr = <span>πd

Hence, the d = C/</span>π = 4.7/<span>π = 1.49605... = 1.5 km (2 significant figures)
Therefore, displacement = 1.5 km</span>

g A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2 A. The current is reduced to 1.4 A when an additional 2.2 Ω resistor
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

R1 = 5.13 Ω

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR............... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

From the question,

I = 2 A, R = R1

Substitute into equation 1

V = 2R1................ Equation 2

When a resistance of 2.2Ω is added in series with R1,

assuming the voltage source remain constant

R = 2.2+R1,  and I = 1.4 A

V = 1.4(2.2+R1)................. Equation 3

Substitute the value of V into equation 3

2R1 = 1.4(2.2+R1)

2R1 = 3.08+1.4R1

2R1-1.4R1 = 3.08

0.6R1 = 3.08

R1 = 3.08/0.6

R1 = 5.13 Ω

The point on the earth's surface directly above the point where the fault first ruptures is called the ____________.
Minchanka [31]
This point is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important when it comes to the Earth's surface, because it pinpoints where Earthquakes begin to take shape and occur. It is the place where the most damage is caused by an earthquake and is found above the hypocenter.

A 5.00 kg dog runs towards a skateboard with a speed of 2.50 m/s. The skateboard is initially at rest. The dog jumps onto the sk
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The mass of the skateboard is 1.25 kg.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of dog, m = 5 kg

Initial speed of dog, u = 2.5 m/s

Initial speed of skateboard, u' = 0 (at rest)

The dog jumps onto the skateboard and both the dog and skateboard move with a speed of 2.00 m/s. It is the common speed of the dog +skateboard, V = 2 m/s. We need to find the mass of the skateboard. Using conservation of momentum as :

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V

m' is mass of skateboard

5\times 2.5=(5+m')2\\\\m'=1.25\ kg

So, the mass of the skateboard is 1.25 kg.
