Answer: The correct answer is "electromagnetic wave".

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves: These waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles. But the mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude.

Electromagnetic wave does not need a medium while the mechanical wave needs a medium to travel.

The electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of the light. The example of electromagnetic wave is light.

Mechanical waves are of two types: Longitudinal wave and Transverse.

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Therefore, Light travels as an electromagnetic wave.

The correct answer is electromagnetic. Lights travel as an electromagnetic wave. In fact, light is an electromagnetic radiation which has a center of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is visible to the naked eye, and is responsible for an organism's sense of sight.

natulia [17]
The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.

PART ONE
stepladder [879]

Answer:

1. A1, B2, C3

2. 47.1°

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = ma

f − Fᵥᵥ = 0

f = Fᵥᵥ

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑Fᵧ = ma

N − W = 0

N = W

Sum of moments about the base of the ladder:

∑τ = Iα

Fᵥᵥ h − W (b/2) = 0

Fᵥᵥ h = ½ W b

Fᵥᵥ (l sin θ) = ½ W (l cos θ)

l Fᵥᵥ sin θ = ½ l W cos θ

The correct set of equations is A1, B2, C3.

At the smallest angle θ, f = Nμ.  Substituting into the first equation, we get:

Nμ = Fᵥᵥ

Substituting the second equation into this equation, we get:

Wμ = Fᵥᵥ

Substituting this into the third equation, we get:

l (Wμ) sin θ = ½ l W cos θ

μ sin θ = ½ cos θ

tan θ = 1 / (2μ)

θ = atan(1 / (2μ))

θ = atan(1 / (2 × 0.464))

θ ≈ 47.1°
