Answer:
Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
See the attachment for the details. A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times. The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.
The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:
(<u>a) How far did he travel?</u>
103 km
<u>(b) What was his average speed?</u>
12.88 km/h
<u>(c) What was his displacement?</u>
73.82 km
<u>(d) What was his average velocity?</u>
9.228 km/h
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:

while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:

And the total energy of the system is

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:

while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is

And the total energy is

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore

. So we can write

that we can solve to find an expression for v:
