Answer:

D. They don't require a medium to travel through.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves are both types of waves. Electromagnetic waves are waves that arise from the combination of electric and magnetic fields while mechanical waves are waves that arise as a result of transfer of energy via matter.

One major difference between these two types of waves is that electromagnetic waves such as light waves, radiowaves etc. do not need a medium to travel i.e. they can travel through a vacuum, while on the other hand, mechanical waves such as sound waves need a medium to travel.

If a 0.5 kg pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 Newton’s on Jupiter, what is the strength of gravity there?

OverLord2011 [107]

The weight of an object is given by
$F=mg$
where m is the mass of the object, while g is the strength of the gravity (which corresponds to the gravitational acceleration of the planet).

In our problem, the shoes have a mass of m=0.5 kg, and their weight is F=11.55 N. So, we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the value of g:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg}=23.1 N kg^{-1}$
and this is the strength of the gravity on Jupiter's surface.

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to ________?

daser333 [38]

Answer: shrink and heat

Stars similar to our Sun use hydrogen as fuel, creating helium in the process of nuclear fusion.

Now when the hydrogen is used up, the core of the star reaches such a temperature that begins to transform the helium into carbon. That is, the core heats up more due to the continuous fusion reactions and shrinks because it will not have enough pressure to maintain its size.

A concave lens is called diverging lenses because they cause parallel rays to diverge. The convex lens is curved towards the inside. The concave lens is curved towards the outside. It is used to correct long-sightedness or hypermetropia.
