Answer:

<u>a transverse wave consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields.</u>

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is a wave generated by the vibration of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, which may progate through vacuum (empty space) or a material medium.

All electromagnetic waves propagate at the same speed in vacuum. This speed is approximately 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s. Which is generally referred as the speed of light, but it is the same constant speed of any electromagnetic wave in the vacuum, c.

In general, waves transfer energy when they travel, but only electromagnetic waves can travel in vacuum. The waves that cannot travel in vacuum are named mechanical waves (they need a medium to travel).

There are two types of waves depending on how they propagate: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. The transverse waves travel perperdiculary to the direcction of the vibration, while longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the vibration.

The classical example of transverse waves is a rope that oscilates up and down. The classical example of  longitudinal waves is a spring that you pull and push by an end and so it  moves forward and back. Sound is also a longitudinal wave.

A 49.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.584 and 0.399,
NISA [10]

Answer:

(a) Force must be grater than 283.87 N

(B) Force will be equal to 193.945 N      

Explanation:

We have given mass of the crate m = 49.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.584

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.399

(a) Static friction force is given by F_S=\mu _smg=0.584\times 49.6\times 9.8=283.8707N

So to just start the crate moving we have to apply more force than 283.87 N

(B) This force will be equal to kinetic friction force

We know that kinetic friction force is given by F_k=\mu _kmg=0.399\times 49.6\times 9.8=193.945N

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

Riley is cleaning his room(a once a year activity) and pulls the Hoover with a force of 8 N a total distance of 20 metres. How m
Radda [10]

Answer:

160J

Explanation:

Given force = 8N and total distance = 20 meters

Workdone = force x distance

= 8 x 20

= 160J

Therefore, workdone by Riley in pulling the hoover is 160J
