Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have no medium to travel or propagate whilr mechanical waves need a medium for its transmission or propagation.

Electromagnetic wave can travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not. These media are water, air etc. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio signals etc.

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are the types of waves we have. The major difference between this type of waves is that, while mechanical waves requires material medium for its propagation, electromagnetic waves does not require material medium for its propagation.

Example of mechanical waves are waves produced by a ripple tank.

Example of an electromagnetic waves are the electromagnetic spectrum which includes radio waves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays etc... This waves are produced naturally without any medium compare to mechanical wave.

A ball starts from rest and undergoes uniform acceleration of 2.50m/s^2. What is the velocity of the ball 4s later?
erica [24]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2.50 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 10 m/s

Two identical cylinders, A and B, contain the same type of gas at the same pressure. Cylinder A has twice as much gas as cylinde
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

D. TA < TB

Explanation:

From general gas equation, we know that:

PV  = nRT

PV/R = nT

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = volume of gas

R = General gas constant

T = temperature of gas

n = no. of moles of gas

<u>FOR CYLINDER A</u>:

PV/R = (nA)(TA)  _____ eqn (1)

<u>FOR CYLINDER B</u>:

PV/R = (nB)(TB)  _____ eqn (2)

Because, Pressure, Volume are constant for both cylinders.

Comparing eqn (1) and (2)

(nA)(TA) = (nB)(TB)

It is given that the amount of gas in cylinder A is twice as much as the gas in cylinder B. This means the number moles in cylinder A are twice as much as no. of moles in cylinder B.

nA = 2(nB)

using this in eqn:

2(nB)(TA) = (nB)(TB)

TA = (1/2)(TB)

<u>TA = 0.5 TB</u>

Therefore it is clear that the correct option is:

<u>D. TA<TB</u>

(a) the three resistors are in parallel, so the equivalent resistance R is given by

1/R= 1/5 + 1/10 +1/15

1/R= 11/30

R=2.7ohm

(b) Voltage in the circuit= 120 V

(c) for current, we use ohm's law

V= i R

120= i (2.7)

i=44 A
