Answer:
<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.
Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the first law of thermodynamics:
Where 
is the change in the internal energy of the system, in this case 
, 
is the heat tranferred, and 
is the work, 
with a negative sign since the work is done by the system.
From the previous equation we solve for heat, because it is the unknown variable in this problem
And replacing the known values:
The negative sign shows us that the heat is tranferred from the system into the surroundings.
Answer:
the time it takes for one complete back and forth swing
Explanation:
the Mark's is showing you the time it swings back and forth
The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>
- A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
- Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
- Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
- Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.
<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>
- Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
- All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
- They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
- All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
- Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.

Answer:
Explanation:
For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:
which can also be rewritten as
In our case, we have:
is the initial pressure
is the initial volume
is the final pressure
Solving for V2, we find the final volume:
