Yes, C is correct. It self explains itself as we know light travels through a vacuum ( doesn't need a medium) and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.

An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample
zysi [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of an ore sample=17.5 N

Tension in the cord=11.2 N

We have to find the total volume and the density of the sample.

We know that

Tension, T=W-F_b

F_b=buoyancy force

T=Tension force

W=Weight

By using the formula

11.2=17.5-F_b

F_b=17.5-11.2=6.3 N

F_b=V_{object}\times \rho_{water}\cdot g

Where

V_{object}=Volume of object

\rho_{water}=1000 kgm^{-3}=Density of water

g=9.8 ms^{-2}=Acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the values then we get

6.3=9.8\times 1000\times V_{object}

V_{object}=\frac{6.3}{9.8\times 1000}=6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3

Volume of sample=6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3

Density of sample,\rho_{object}=\frac{Mass}{volume_{object}}

Where mass of ore sample=1.79 kg

Substitute the values then, we get

\rho_{object}=\frac{1.79}{6.43\times 10^{-4}}=2.78\times 10^3 kg/m^3

Density of the sample=2.78\times 10^{3} kgm^{-3}

A 250 kg cart is at the top of a hill that is 32 m high, what is its potential energy?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<h2>80,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 250 × 10 × 32

We have the final answer as

<h3>80,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Una caja de 5.0kg de masa se acelera desde el reposo a través del piso mediante una fuerza a una tasa de 2.0 /s2 durante 7.0s en
Nady [450]

Responder:

<h2>490 julios </h2>

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando una fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva a través de una distancia. El trabajo realizado por un cuerpo se expresa mediante la fórmula;

Workdone = Fuerza * Distancia

Como Fuerza = masa * aceleración,

Workdone = masa * aceleración * distancia

Masa dada = 5.0kg, aceleración = 2.0m / s² d =?

Para obtener d, usaremos una de las leyes del movimiento,

d = ut + 1 / 2at²

u = 0 (ya que el cuerpo acelera desde el reposo) yt = 7.0s

d = 0 + 1/2 (2) (7) ²

d = 49m

Workdone = 5 * 2 * 49

Workdone = 490 Julios

How many significant digits are in the measurement 4,032,010 m/s?
choli [55]
Since there is no decimal point in the number given above, the counting for the number of the significant figures will start from the left. Then, the first zero from the left is insignificant. Therefore, in this number there are 6 significant figures.

6. Why does sound travel faster through a steel bar than through a swimming pool filled with water?
Lady_Fox [76]
I understand that sound travels faster in water then in air. Water is a liquid, and air is gas.

Water still has the ability to roll the molecules over each other (so water can flow), it has some flexibility.

But I do not understand how a solid that is inflexible can make sound waves travel faster then in a flexible liquid.

In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Sound waves travel over four times faster in water than it would in air.
