Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

Lapatulllka [165]

<u>Answer</u>

4.8212×10⁻¹¹ N


<u>Explanation</u>

The gravitational force F, between 2 masses m₁ and m₂ is given by:

F = (Gm₁m₂)/d²

Where G =  6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² and d is the distance between the 2 masses.

F = (Gm₁m₂)/d²

   =  (6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ × 0.425 × 0.425)/0.500²

   = 1.2053×10⁻¹¹/0.25

   = 4.8212×10⁻¹¹ N
