Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation.

2. Mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal while electromagnetic waves are transverse.(Transverse waves are waves in which the vibration of the particules of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of wave. E.g water waves, waves of a plucked string and all electromagnetic waves RIVUXG . Longitudinal waves are waves whose vibration are parallel to the direction of the motion of the medium e.g waves in strings, sound waves.e.t.c)

A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$W=173.48J$

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: $F=45N$

Weight: $w=100N$

distance: $4m$

vertical component of the force: $F_{y}=12N$

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: $F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

vertical component: $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$

but from the given information we know that $F_{y}=12N$

so, equation these two $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$ and $F_{y}=12N$

$Fsen\theta =12N$

and we know the force $F=45N$ , thus:

$45sen\theta=12$

now we clear for $\theta$

$sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466$

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

$F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

$F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N$

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

$W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J$

the work done is W=173.48J

Meg goes swimming on a hot afternoon. When she comes out of the pool, her foot senses that the prevement is unbearably hot. Supp

mart [117]

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.
