<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Electromagnetic waves

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another. It involves movement of energy from the source to another.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Waves may be classified as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves depending on whether they require material medium for transmission.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not necessarily require a material medium for transmission, that is they can be transmitted even in a vacuum. Such waves include, x-rays, radiowaves, microwaves, etc.</u></em>
  • Mechanical waves on the other hand require a material medium for transmission. Such waves include sound waves.

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12

A 44.0 kg uniform rod 4.90 m long is attached to a wall with a hinge at one end. The rod is held in a horizontal position by a w
pychu [463]

Answer:

x ≤ 3.6913 m

Explanation:

Given

Mrod = 44.0 kg

L = 4.90 m

Tmax = 1450 N

Mman = 69 kg

A: left end of the rod

B: right end of the rod

x = distance from the left end to the man

If we take torques around the left end as follows

∑τ = 0   ⇒   - Wrod*(L/2) - Wman*x + T*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒   - (Mrod*g)*(L/2) - (Mman*g)*x + Tmax*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒  -  (44*9.8)*(4.9/2) - (69*9.8)*x + (1450)*(0.5)*(4.9) = 0

⇒ x ≤ 3.6913 m

The average distance of the planet mercury from the sun is 0.39 times the average distance of the earth from the sun. How long i
Stels [109]

Answer:

T_1=0.24y

Explanation:

Using Kepler's third law, we can relate the orbital periods of the planets and their average distances from the Sun, as follows:

(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2=(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3

Where T_1 and T_2 are the orbital periods of Mercury and Earth respectively. We have D_1=0.39D_2 and T_2=1y. Replacing this and solving for

T_1^2=T_2^2(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=(1y)^2(\frac{0.39D_2}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=1y^2(0.39)^3\\T_1^2=0.059319y^2\\T_1=0.24y
