Electromagnetic/Light waves travel at different speeds through different media.This results in refraction which gives the appearance of broken pencil to our eyes

Answer: Electromagnetic/Light waves travel at different speeds through different media.

Explanation: The reason for the pencil to appear broken is because because of the process of refraction. Light travels at different speeds in different medium because of the varying densities, here the two mediums being air and water.

The difference in speed results in an apparent shift of the position of part of pencil under water and thus the part appears broken.

Which statement describes why scientific notation is useful? It makes very small numbers into whole numbers. It converts fractio
disa [49]

It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. 10^{23} for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.

An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 1.3m what is the frequency of wave
larisa86 [58]
V = f * wavelength
as we know electromagnetic wave has speed equal to light, so

3 * 10^8 = f * 1.3
f = 2.3 * 10^8 hertz
f = 230 mega hertz

Use the data provided to calculate the gravitational potential energy of each cylinder mass. Round your answers to the nearest t
Goryan [66]

Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  </em>

<em />

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:  

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g=9.8m/s^{2} the acceleration due gravity and h=500m the height of the object.  

Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:

For m=3kg

U_{p}=(3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=14700J=14.7kJ  

For m=6kg

U_{p}=(6kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=29400J=29.4kJ  

For m=9kg

U_{p}=(9kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=44100J=44.1kJ
