Theo made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties 1
2 answers:
Answer:
Line 3 has a mistake.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.
Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.
Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.
Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
So, Line 4 is also correct.

Answer:
a)
b)
c)
d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of Mars,
- radius of the Mars,
- mass of human,
a)
Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:
where:
= gravitational constant
b)
The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.
c)
When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:
d)
The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.
- Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.
- Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.
