The correct answer is False.
In fact, electromagnetic waves (which carry energy), do not need a material medium to travel, because they can travel in vacuum as well. So, wave energy can be transmitted also through vacuum.

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r
Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling P_{xi} the initial momentum of object X and P_{yi} the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: M * v_f=400kg * v_f

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direc
Lerok [7]

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s

The blank the value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The <u>HIGHER</u> value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding

Explanation:

As we know that friction force is given by

F_f = \mu F_n

so friction force is the product of friction coefficient and normal force.

So here we can say that if friction coefficient is higher then the friction force will be more as it is product of friction coefficient and normal force.

So correct answer will be given as

The <u>HIGHER</u> value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding
