Answer:
Average speed, As = 2.2 [m/s]
Explanation:
To solve these types of problems we must remember that the average of the speeds is determined by dividing the distance over time.
With the first speed and the time of 6 [s] we can calculate the distance.
V = x/t
where:
x = distance [m]
V = velocity = 1.1 [m/s]
t = time = 6 [s]
x1 = V*t
X1 = 1.1*6
X1 = 6.6 [m]
Now with the second velocity and 6 [s], we can calculate the second distance.
X2 = 3.3*6
X2 = 19.8 [m]
Now we have to calculate the average speed. The total distance is x = x1 +x2
X = 19.8 + 6.6 = 26.4 [m]
and the total time is 12 [s]
Therefore:
As = 26.4/12
As = 2.2 [m/s]
The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
Yes, it is true, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve interaction of molecules with electromagnetic waves. ;Mass spectrometry method is used to determine the mass of a substance while infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the functional groups in molecules. Both methods involve the analysis of electromagnetic light interaction with molecules.
