First of all, the question is vague as you haven't mentioned the medium of propagation of the wave, which is extremely crucial.

For example light travels at <span>299,792</span> km/second in vacuum, but in certain semiconductors, it travels as slow as 9 km/second. Sound, ocean and seismic waves don't exist in vacuum at all.

If you mean the maximum possible speed any of these options can attain in any medium of choice for the different options, then the answer would be
b. radio waves, which travel exactly at the speed of light in vacuum (299,792 km/second) and with an almost similar(slightly less) speed in air. (Radio waves are nothing but electromagnetic waves with low frequency)

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

How do mass and distance affect gravity?

elixir [45]

A gravitational force between objects depends on two things- their masses and the distance between them. So the greater the mass and the less distance there is, the more gravitational force and is the mass is less and the distance is great the gravitational force is weak
