<em>A statement that is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves is that;</em>
A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum
<u>The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.</u>
The answer is B because if you use process of elimination, you find that A is invalid because Venus is the second planet. C is out because Mars is the 4th planet. D is out because we are nowhere near the Andromeda Galaxy. We are millions of light years away.
Since the angle is West of North, therefore to find for
the westward component (horizontal component) of the vector, we use the sin
function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse = westward component /
resultant vector
So the westward component (x) is:
x = 85.42 sin 23
<span>x = 33.38 unit</span>
