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

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 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s

4. A substance has a density of 0.79 g/cm'. It is soluble in water. List all the possibilities of what it might be How could you
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;

i) t-butanol

ii) ethanol

iii) 2-propanol

iv) acetone

However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.
