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)

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .

The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

T = 0.017s

Explanation:

period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation

An electric current is periodic in nature

The current reaches 3.8A  ten times.  

So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s.   let 'T'  be the period:

T=\frac{t}{n}

t is the total time interval

n is the number of oscillations

T=\frac{0.17}{10}

10T = 0.17

T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s
