Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that are limited in supply and cannot be replaced as quickly as they are used up.
zysi [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Nonrenewable resources ARE limited in supply. They don't get replaced at the speed they get made. For example: we pump crude oil from the ground at a rate that makes it impossible for crude oil to be replaced. Crude oil takes millions of years to produce

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

An object moving with a speed of 35 m/a and has a kinetic energy of 1500j, what is the mass of the object
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

Speed or velocity (V) = 35 m/s

Kinetic energy (K. E) = 1500 Joule

mass (m) = ?

We know

K.E = 1/2 * m * v²

1500 = 1/2 * m * 35²

1500 * 2 = 1225m

m = 3000 / 1225

m = 2.45 kg

The mass of the object is 2.45 kg

Hope it will help :)
