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.

Answer:

The horse father from the center has a greater tangential speed. Although both horses complete one circle in the same time period, the one farther from the center covers a greater distance during that same period.

If a car's speed triples, how does the momentum and kinetic energy of the

Harrizon [31]

Answer: When the car speed triples, momentum also triples but Kinetic energy increases 9 times or by 9 fold.

Explanation:

The momentum of a car (an object) is

p= mv

where

m is =the mass of the object( in this case car)

v is its= velocity

While the kinetic energy is is given by the formulae

K=1/2mv²

To determine how momentum and kinetic energy of the car changes when the speed of the object triples, We have that the new velocity,

v¹= 3v

So that the momentum change becomes

p¹=mv¹=m (3v)= 3mv

mv=p

therefore p¹= 3p

we can see that the momentum also triples.

And the kinetic energy change becomes

K¹=1/2m(v¹)²= 1/2m (3v)²

= 1/2m9v²= 1/2 x m x 9 x v²=9 x1/2mv²

1/2mv²=K

K¹= Kinetic energy = 9k

but Kinetic energy increases 9 times

Answer:

Atom - the basic particle of matter

Density - calculated from measurements of mass and volume

Motion - calculated from measurements of distance and time

Energy - can change form and move matter

Matter - the scientific word for <em>stuff</em>

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3) = 39$

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

$f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0$

$-4*2x + 24=0$

$8x=24$

$x=3$

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If $f (3) ''< 0$ the function has a maximum

If $f (3) '' >0$ the function has a minimum

$f(x)''= 8$

Note that:

$f(3)''= -8$

the function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39$

I was driving along at 20 m/s, trying to change a CD and not watching where I was going. When I looked up, I found myself 45 m f

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

$t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s$

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

$d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m$

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

$d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}$
