Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.

Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves

A car accelerates for 10 seconds. During this time, the angular
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity, \omega_i = 10 rad/s

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 25 rad/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The angular acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

a_r = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t} \\\\a_r = \frac{25-10}{10} = 1.5 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²

The eiffel tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.5 cm when the temperature changes from −8 to +42 °c. what is
Readme [11.4K]
 The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK 
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC 
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK 
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK 
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m 
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.

Why does immersion oil improve resolution?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

d. It increases numerical aperture and maintains a uniform light speed.

Explanation:

In optical microscopes, various immersion mediums are used to improve or enhance the resolution. Immersion oils like cedar and Leica oils are one of those mediums which are used to improve resolution by increasing the numerical aperture and keeping the speed of light uniform.
