svet-max [94.6K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Vacuum

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Waves and types of waves

To answer the question we need to define both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves.

Waves can be classified as either electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves based on whether they require a material medium for transmission or not.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for transmission and can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical waves, on the other hand, are waves that require a material medium for transmission.

What are examples of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?

Examples of electromagnetic waves include gamma rays, radio waves, visible light, etc.
Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and water waves.

Therefore, the answer to our question is;

Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, which means they can travel in a vacuum.

A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotat

Natali [406]

centripetal acceleration is given by formula

$a_c = \omega^2*R$

given that

$a_c = 34.1 m/s^2$

$R = 5.91 m$

now we have

$\omega^2 R = 34.1$

$\omega^2 * 5.91 = 34.1$

$\omega^2 = 5.77$

$\omega = 2.4 rad/s$

so the ratationa frequency is given by

$\omega = 2 \pi f$

$2.4 = 2 \pi f$

$f = \frac{2.4}{2\pi}$

$f = 0.38 Hz$

When radioactive tracers are used for medical scans, the tracers both decay in the body via radiation, as well as being excreted

irinina [24]

Answer:

Effective half-time of the tracer is 3.6 days

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the decay due to excretion for the first process is ;

$\frac{dN_1}{dt } = - \lambda _e N_o$

here ;

$N_o$ = initial number of tracers

Then to the second process ; we have :

$\frac{dN_2}{dt } = - \lambda _e N_o$

The total decay is as a result of the overall process occurring ; we have :

$\frac{dN_{total}}{dt } = \frac{dN_1}{dt} + \frac{dN_2}{dt}$ ------ (1)

here ;

$\frac{dN_{total}}{dt } = \lambda _{total} N_o$

Putting the values in (1);we have :

$- \lambda _{Total} N_o = - \lambda_e N_o + ( -\lambda r N_o})$

$\lambda _{Total} = \lambda_e + \lambda r$

As we also know that:

$\frac{1}{t_{1/2}} = \frac{[t_{1/2}]_{radiation}+[t_{1/2}]_{excretion}}{[t_{1/2}]_{radiation}*[t_{1/2}]_{excretion}}$

$\frac{1}{t_{1/2}}_{effective}} = \frac{[t_{1/2}]_{radiation}+[t_{1/2}]_{excretion}}{[t_{1/2}]_{radiation}*[t_{1/2}]_{excretion}}$

$\frac{1}{t_{1/2}}_{effective}} = \frac{9+6}{9*6}$

$\frac{1}{t_{1/2}_{effective}}}=\frac{15}{54}$

$t_{1/2}_{effective}} = \frac{54}{15}$

= 3.6 days

If a car is driving at 10 m/s and is driving for 2 minutes, what is the total distance it will

kondor19780726 [428]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (10 meter/second) x (2 minutes)

Distance = (10 meter/second) x (2 minutes) x (60 second/minute)

Distance = (10 x 2 x 60) (meter-minute-second / second-minute)

<em>Distance = 1,200 meters</em>
