True or false all waves need a medium in order to travel

No light does not need medium to travel.Its an electromagnetic(EM) wave.All EM waves travel independent of medium. In contrast mechanical waves need a medium,sound waves,shock waves are mechanical and they need medium to transfer energy or travel.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Velocity of throwing arrow = 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the height from which the arrow was shot = h

Distance traveled by the arrow in horizontal = 61 m

Angle made by the arrow with the ground = 2°

So,

From the <u>equations of the motion</u>,

61 =u.t\\t=\frac{61}{u}

Now,

Also,

Finally, the angle made is 2 degrees with the horizontal.

So,

Final horizontal velocity = v.cos20°

Final vertical velocity = v.sin20°

Now,

u = v.cos20° (No acceleration in horizontal)

Also,

v=u+at\\vsin20=0+9.8(t)\\t=\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}

So,

We can say that,

\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}=\frac{61}{v.cos20}\\v^{2}.sin20.cos20=597.8\\v^{2}=1860.56\\v=43.13\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the velocity with which the arrow was shot by the archer is 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

A 190 g glider on a horizontal, frictionless air track is attached to a fixed ideal spring with force constant 160 N/m. At the i
laiz [17]

(a) Let <em>x</em> be the maximum elongation of the spring. At this point, the glider would have zero velocity and thus zero kinetic energy. The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the glider to get it from the given point (4.00 cm from equilibrium) to <em>x</em> is

<em>W</em> = - (1/2 <em>kx</em> ² - 1/2 <em>k</em> (0.0400 m)²)

(note that <em>x</em> > 4.00 cm, and the restoring force of the spring opposes its elongation, so the total work is negative)

By the work-energy theorem, the total work is equal to the change in the glider's kinetic energy as it moves from 4.00 cm from equilibrium to <em>x</em>, so

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = 0 - 1/2 <em>m</em> (0.835 m/s)²

Solve for <em>x</em> :

- (1/2 (160 N/m) <em>x</em> ² - 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)²) = -1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)²

==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 0.0493 m ≈ 4.93 cm

(b) The glider attains its maximum speed at the equilibrium point. The work done by the spring as it is stretched away from equilibrium to the 4.00 cm position is

<em>W</em> = - 1/2 <em>k</em> (0.0400 m)²

If <em>v</em> is the glider's maximum speed, then by the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>m</em> (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

Solve for <em>v</em> :

- 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)² = 1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 (0.190 kg) <em>v</em> ²

==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 1.43 m/s

(c) The angular frequency of the glider's oscillation is

√(<em>k</em>/<em>m</em>) = √((160 N/m) / (0.190 kg)) ≈ 29.0 Hz

The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 4 degrees C. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperature
maksim [4K]

v

Convert the given temperatures from celsius to kelvin since we are dealing with gas.

To convert to kelvin, add 273.15 to the temperature in celsius.

T1 = 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 k

T2 = 4 + 273.15 = 277.15 k

V1 = 0.5 L

Let's find the final volume (V2).

To solve for V2 apply Charles Law formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}
