Answer:

The property of the wave marked X is related to the source of the wave

Explanation:

The source of of origin of waves

Electromagnetic wave are waves that consists of varying electric and magnetic field that vibrate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave and they are therefore transverse waves and transfer energy

Electromagnetic waves originate from the vibration of charged particles that gives off varying electric and magnetic fields

Mechanical waves are defined as waves that require a material medium such as air, water, metal, plastic, stretched leather, or wood to propagate

Mechanical waves originate from vibration of the particles of a medium

Sound waves which is a form of longitudinal mechanical waves that propagates by the vibration of the particles of a given medium about a point parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace in the equation 1 the data following;

$y=h$

$v_{o} =0$

$g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }$

$t= 9,5s$

$h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}$

$h=1448.5 ft$

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

Are you better off in an accident where the hood is

horsena [70]

Answer:

you would be better off if the car bounced backwards

Explanation:

because if the hood was dismembered than you have a high chance of very bad injury but if it is just bounced back you would have less chance of getting hurt if properly sitting and seat belted.

A helium-filled balloon is launched when the temperature at ground level is 27.8°c and the barometer reads 752 mmhg. if the ball

ololo11 [35]

The helium may be treated as an ideal gas, so that
(p*V)/T =constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume
T = temperature.

Note that
7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg = 1 Pa
1 L = 10⁻³ m³

Given:
At ground level,
p₁ = 752 mm Hg
= (752 mm Hg)/(7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg/Pa)
= 1.0026 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 9.47 x 10⁴ L = (9.47 x 10⁴ L)*(10⁻³ m³/L)
= 94.7 m³
T₁ = 27.8 °C = 27.8 + 273 K
= 300.8 K

At 36 km height,
P₂ = 73 mm Hg = 73/7.5006 x 10⁻³ Pa
= 9.7326 x 10³ Pa
T₂ = 235 K

If the volume at 36 km height is V₂, then
V₂ = (T₂/p₂)*(p₁/T₁)*V₁
= (235/9.7326 x 10³)*(1.0026 x 10⁵/300.8)*94.7
= 762.15 m³

Answer: 762.2 m³
