How do you know that waves sent from the sun to earth are not mechanical waves? Explain

1 answer:

3 0

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 horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 $\frac{m}{s}$

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

$v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}$

$v^{2} = r g \tan \theta$

$\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}$

Put all the values in above formula we get

$\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}$

$\tan \theta =$ 2.446

$\theta = 67.76$ °

Therefore the value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

When the distance between two stars decreases by one-third, the force between them

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

the force will increase by a factor 2.25

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the two stars is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two stars

r is the distance between the stars

If the distance is decreased by one-third, it means that the new distance is 2/3 of the previous distance

$r'=\frac{2}{3}r$

So the new force will be

$F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(\frac{2}{3}r)^2}=\frac{9}{4} G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}=2.25 F$

So, the force will be 2.25 times the previous value.

Which of the following BEST describes a deer?

ad-work [718]

If we go down the list,

It wouldn’t be Primary Producer because Deer don’t really produce anything

Can’t be Carnivore because deer don’t eat meat

Same with tertiary

They do eat plants. So it would have to be the last one
