Answer:

The  answer is electromagnetic waves can travel through a region void of matter and mechanical waves cannot (option C)

Explanation:

To begin with, electromagnetic waves are waves that are created due to vibrations between a magnetic and electric field. On the other hand, mechanical waves are waves that are created due to vibration in matter or energy transfer through a material medium.

Electromagnetic waves are quite distinct from mechanical waves because the latter requires a material medium to transport energy while the former does not. In fact, electromagnetic waves can carry out transportation of energy through the vacuum of outer space.

In what sense can a transformer be considered an electrical lever? What does it multiply? What does it not multiply?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

This is because it steps up or steps down electrical voltage. It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power.

Explanation:

A transformer steps up or steps down electrical voltage, by transmitting power at a voltage, V₁ and Current I₁ at one terminal, to a voltage, V₂ and Current I₂ at its other terminals, just like a lever transmits force from one point to another. Since the power transmitted remains the same, (energy per unit time remains constant), I₁V₁ = I₂V₂ ⇒ I₁/I₂ = V₂/V₁ = n (the turns ratio of the transformer). So, the turns ratio will determine if its a step-up or step-down transformer. V₂ = nV₁. So, if V₁ > V₂ it is a step down transformer and if V₁ < V₂ it is a step-up transformer.It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power, since P = IV = constant for the transformer.

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a

The height is   H  = 6.74 \  m

b

The horizontal distance is  D  = 23.74 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed is  v  =  15 \  m/s

  The angle is  \theta  =  40^o

   The height of the cannon from the ground is  h  =  2 m

  The distance of the net from the ground is k  =  1 m

 

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as  

     H  =  \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 *  g }  +  h

=>    H  =  \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8}  +  2

=>    H  = 6.74 \  m

Generally from kinematic equation  

    s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

         s  =  [-(h-k)]  

    =>  s =  -(2-1)

    =>  s  = -1 m

There reason why s =  -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

     a =  -g = -9.8

    u  =  v sin (\theta)

So

    -1 = (vsin 40 )t + \frac{1}{2} * (-9.8) t^2

=>  -4.9t^2 + 9.6418t + 1 = 0

using  quadratic formula to solve the equation we have

    t  =  2.07 \  s

Generally distance covered along the horizontal is  

   D  =  v cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  =  15 cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  = 23.74 \  m

9. When a balloon rises into the air, it
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Answer 3: When a balloon goes up higher in the air, its size will increase. Since there's less air in the upper atmosphere, there's less stuff pushing back on the balloon, and hence the pressure is lower, which allows the balloon to expand

Answer: C

Explanation:

As the balloon rises, the gas inside the balloon expands because the atmospheric pressure surrounding the balloon drops. The atmosphere is 100 to 200 times less dense at the float altitudes than on the ground. and as the air is heated inside the balloon it causes it to rise upwards (because it is lighter than the cooler air on the outside). When the pilot needs to bring the balloon down again, he simply reduces the temperature of the air inside the balloon causing it to slowly descend.
