Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
They cannot pass through a vacuum.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te

zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What

AnnZ [28]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

 (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

 = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²) = -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

 Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart: Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

 = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

 = - 10 newtons .

The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction 
in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, 
and it eventually stops the cart.

How is the rotation of the sun, different from the rotation of the earth

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The Sun has a north and south pole, just as the Earth does, and rotates on its axis. However, unlike Earth which rotates at all latitudes every 24 hours, the Sun rotates every 25 days at the equator and takes progressively longer to rotate at higher latitudes, up to 35 days at the poles. This is known as differential rotation.

The density of silver is 10.5 g cm3. a piece of silver with a mass of 61.3 g would ovvupy a volume of ?

natali 33 [55]

The relationship between mass m, volume V and density d is:
$d= \frac{m}{V}$
The silver has density $d=10.5 g/cm^3$ , and the mass of the piece of silver is $m=61.3 g$ . Therefore we can calculate its volume using the previous formula:
$V= \frac{m}{d}= \frac{61.3 g}{10.5 g/cm^3}=5.84 cm^3$
