Answer:

The answer is B) Mechanical waves carry energy through matter; electromagnetic waves carry energy through space.

The statement that correctly distinguishes between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is: "<span>Mechanical waves carry energy through matter; electromagnetic waves carry energy through space.</span>" Mechanical waves need a medium to propagate, therefore they can only carry energy through matter. Electromagnetic is not limited by vacuum, therefore they can carry energy through space.

Suppose a 0.04-kg car traveling at 2.00 m/s can barely break an egg. What is the min
Paha777 [63]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Momentum of the car with 0.04 kg mass , which travelling with velocity of 2.00 m/s

P_1=mass\times velocity=m_1\times v_1=0.04 kg\times 2.00 m/s=8.00 kg m/s

Then the maximum speed of the another car in order to not to break the eggs will be same as first car:

P_1=P_2

0.08 kg m/s=m_2\times v_2=0.08 kg\times v_2

v_2=1 m/s

Speed slightly more than 1 m/s will increase the momentum of second car and the eggs will break. So, from the given options the minimum speed need by the second car will be 1.42m/s.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 24.7 m/s. Neglect air resistance. The speed of the stone when it is
fredd [130]

Answer:

The speed of the stone when it is 4.66 m higher is 236.057 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the initial velocity and vertical distance, we can use the fourth kinematic equation (v^{2} =v_{o}^{2}+2ay) to find v final, or the v to the left of the equal sign. We know v_{o} (initial velocity) is 24.7 m/s, y (change in vertical distance) is 4.66 m, and a is another way to write g (acceleration due to gravity), or 9.8 m/s^{2}.

From here you could plug in the values and solve for v final, but to make the solving process simpler, we can simplify the given equation, <em>then </em>plug in the known values.

To isolate v final, we can take the square root of v^{2} and do the same to the right side of the equation. Therefore, we can find v final with: v_{o} \sqrt{2ay}, where v initial is outside of the square root because it squared...

If we plug in the known values to the simplified equation, we get: v=24.7m/s*\sqrt{2(9.8m/s)(4.66 m)}

The final answer is 236.057 m/s.

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Simple machines are in a mousetrap
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

A mousetrap makes use of a simple machine called a lever.

Explanation:

In a second-class lever the effort force is at the other end, with the load in the middle. In a third-class lever, the load is at the end and the effort force is between the fulcrum and the load. When you set the mousetrap, you are using a second-class lever. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥
