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.

Block A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s while block B , with a mass of 8.0 kg, is moving in the opposi
Anon25 [30]
Consider velocity to the right as positive.

First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right

Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left

Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
   = 4*2 + 8*(-3)
  = -16 (kg-m)/s

Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.

Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s

Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.
