Electromagnetic waves are usually transverse waves whilst sound wave are longitudinal waves. Furthermore, electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel in unlike sound waves which needs solid, liquid or gas mediums.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Pie
Avg sped = total distance/ total time = 1350 mi/ 5 hrs= 270mph (i dont know if ur teacher wants you to convert this to m/s) 

300miles are traveled in 1 hr. So, 300 *2hrs = 600 miles south
750/250= 3hrs north
Total distance = 600 miles + 750 miles= 1350 miles
Total time is =  3hrs + 2hrs= 5hrs

A city planner needs to make a model of the city. In real life, the tallest tree in the city is 40 feet tall. The shortest tree
Verdich [7]
To solve this you must set up what is called a proportion.  A proportion is a way of comparing two comparing values where one of the four values is missing.  In your problem the missing value is the height of the smallest tree in the model.

To set up a proportion, you need all of your values.  The easiest way to do this is to list them:

Highest tree in real life:  40ft
Highest tree in model:  10ft
Smallest tree in real life:  4ft
Smallest tree in model:  x

So know you can set your proportion like this:

40/4 = 4/x

(When setting up a proportion, you always want to have the values belong to each other.  For example don't put the height of the small tree in the model underneath the value of the highest tree in real life.)

So know to find what the x values equals, we need to cross multiply.  And then all that's left after that is to solve for x.

40 times x = 4 times 4

40x = 16

x = 2.5

The smallest tree in the model should equal 2.5 feet.

Hope this helps! :)

Imagine an alternate universe where all of the quantum number rules were identical to ours except m_{s} had three allowed values
marishachu [46]

Answer:

so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

Explanation:

The Pauli exclusion principle states that all the quantum numbers of an electron cannot be equal, if the spatial part of the wave function is the same, the spin part of the wave function determines how many electrons fit in each orbital.

In the case of having two values, two electrons change. In the case of three allowed values, one electron fits for each value, so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

billy bob joe's truck has a mass of 3,800 g and an acceleration of 4.5 m/s^2. what is the force of the truck? (you will have to
maria [59]

Answer:

<h2>17.1 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

3800 g = 3.8 kg

We have

force = 3.8 × 4.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>17.1 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
