Answer:

Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant. (i hope i helped youuu)

A kayaker paddles at 4.0 m/s in a direction 30° south of west. He then turns and paddles at 3.7 m/s in a direction 20° west of s

<u>Answer:</u>

Magnitude of resultant velocity of kayaker to the nearest tenth = 10 m/s

Direction of resultant velocity of kayaker = 49.32⁰ South of west.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

First kayaker paddles at 4.0 m/s in a direction 30° south of west, kayaker paddles at 4.0 m/s in a direction 210° anticlockwise from positive horizontal axis.

So velocity of kayaker = 4 cos 210 i + 4 sin 210 j = -3.46 i - 2 j

He then turns and paddles at 3.7 m/s in a direction 20° west of south, kayaker paddles at 3.7 m/s in a direction 250° anticlockwise from positive horizontal axis.

So that velocity = -1.27 i - 3.48 j

So resultant velocity of kayaker = -3.46 i - 2 j +(-1.27 i - 3.48 j) = -4.71 i - 5.48 j

Magnitude of resultant velocity of kayaker = $\sqrt{(-4.71)^2+(-5.48)^2} = 7.23 m/s$
