Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, 
)
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
Answer:
3,200 ounces
Explanation:
1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz):
i.e 1 lb = 16 oz
Given:
200 pounds
To find:
2,000 pounds as ounces.
Steps:
200 (mass) * 16 = 3,200 ounces.
Thank you!

Answer:
The two metals expand differently.
Explanation:
The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.
Answer:
1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton
2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out equal areas in equal times - Kepler
3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton
.
4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton
5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus - Kepler.
6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.
Explanation:
The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:
- The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
- The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
- The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.
The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:
- The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
- The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
- The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.
