<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.

A spring with spring constant of 26 N/m is stretched 0.22 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.503 J

Explanation:

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke²

W = 1/2ke²........................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = spring constant, e = extension.

Given: k = 26 N/m, e = (0.22+0.12), = 0.34 m.

Substitute into equation 1

W = 1/2(26)(0.34²)

W = 13(0.1156)

W = 1.503 J.

Hence the work done to stretch it an additional 0.12 m = 1.503 J

4. ________ have a positive charge
xz_007 [3.2K]

A proton has positive charge of 1, that is, equal but opposite to the charge of an electron. A neutron, like the name implies, is neutral with no net charge. The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

A water wave travels across a 42-meter wide pond in 7.0 seconds. The speed of the wave is _____. 292 m/s 49 m/s 6.0 m/s 0.17 m/s
tekilochka [14]
           Speed  =  (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

The speed of anything that covers 42 meters in 7 seconds is

               (42 meters)  /  (7.0 seconds)

           =    (42 / 7.0)      (meters/second)

           =             6.0 m/s .
