Answer:

I believe it is vacuum of space

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Select the statements that are TRUE. Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions have energies of activation that are very low

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Addition reactions with benzenes lead to the loss of aromaticity.

Benzene and its derivatives undergo a type of substitution reaction in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by a substituent, but the stable aromatic benzene ring is regenerated at the end of the mechanism.

Benzene and its derivatives tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

A roundabout in a fairground requires an input power of 2.5 kW when operating at a constant angular velocity of 0.47 rad s–1 . (

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the roundabout is rotating with uniform velocity ,

input power = frictional power

frictional power = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x angular velocity = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x .47 = 2.5 kW

frictional torque = 2.5 / .47 kN .m

= 5.32 kN . m

= 5 kN.m

b )

When power is switched off , it will decelerate because of frictional torque .

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|$

Where,

$f_2 =$ Final frequency

$f_1 =$ Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

$20= |f_2-240|$

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

$f_2 = 240 \pm 20$

The two possible values are

$f_2 = 220Hz$

$f_2 = 260Hz$

Why is water considered to be a complex compound

DedPeter [7]

$HEY THERE !!$

$\huge{COMPOUND:-}$
Compounds contain two or more different elements.

Water is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds . Water is also a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element. (oxygen and hydrogen).

So If you like, you can say that water is a molecular compound.

HOPE IT HELPED YOU.
