<h3>Answer:</h3>

Vacuum

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Waves and types of waves

To answer the question we need to define both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves.

  • Waves can be classified as either electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves based on whether they require a material medium for transmission or not.
  • Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for transmission and can travel through a vacuum.
  • Mechanical waves, on the other hand, are waves that require a material medium for transmission.

What are examples of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?

  • Examples of electromagnetic waves include gamma rays, radio waves, visible light, etc.
  • Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and water waves.

Therefore, the answer to our question is;

  • Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, which means they can travel in a vacuum.

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant falls on your head and knocks you to the ground. If
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

{\displaystyle {\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}}

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, \displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v} is change in velocity and t is time.

You  need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t=\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}

t= \displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}/a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) b) d)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.

a)2 N; 2 N

b) 200 N; 200 N

c) 200 N; 201 N

d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N

e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N

f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N

g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N

h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N

For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces

a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force

b) 200+(-200)=0

c) 200+(-201)\neq0

d) 2+2+(-4)=0

e) 2+2+(-2)\neq0

f) 2+2+(-3) \neq0; 2+(-2)+3\neq0

g) 2+2+(-5)\neq0; 2+(-2)+5\neq0

h)200 + 200 +(-5)\neq0; 200+(-200)+5\neq0
