how do mechanical waves compare with electromagnetic waves?
Answer:
Electromagnetic waves are waves that have no medium to travel whereas mechanical waves need a medium for its transmission. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not. The mechanical waves need a medium like water, air, or anything for it to travel.

A 2.3 kg ball has 76 J of kinetic energy. How fast is it moving? Show all work and use correct units of measurement for the answer to get full credit.
Answer:
8.13 m/sExplanation:
The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula
[tex]k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ [/tex]
m is the mass in kg
v is the velocity in m/s
To find the velocity we make v the subject of the equation
That's
[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{m} } \\ [/tex]
From the question
k = 76 J
m = 2.3 kg
We have
[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \times 76}{2.3} } = \sqrt{ \frac{152}{2.3} } \\ = 8.129388...[/tex]
We have the final answer as
8.13 m/sHope this helps you

A galaxy spectrum has a redshift of 70,000 km per second. If the Hubble constant is 70 km per second per Mpc (megaparsec), how far away from us in this galaxy
Using the Hubble law v = H₀d where v = recessional speed = 70,000 km per second H₀ = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and d = distance of galaxy.
Making d subject of the formula, we have
d = v/H₀
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
d = v/H₀
d = 70000 km/s/70 km/s/Mpc
d = 1000 Mpc
So, the galaxy is 1000 Mpc away from us.

the second law of thermodynamics imposes what limit on the efficiency of a heat engine?
A heat engine cannot have a thermal efficiency of 100% For all reversible processes, the second-law efficiency is 100%. The second-law efficiency of a heat engine cannot be greater than its thermal efficiency. The second-law efficiency of a process is 100% if no entropy is generated during that process

A black disk rotates with constant speed and a coin that is located on the edge of the disk moves with speed v. If on a white disk that also rotates with constant speed, we place the same coin on the edge, it is moving with speed 4v. Which disk has a larger radius?
The white disk has a larger radius.
We know that the speed of the coin v = rω where r = radius of the disk and ω = angular speed of the disk.
Now, since both disks rotate at constant speed, ω = constant.
So, v ∝ r
For the black disk, its radius is r, the coins speed is v.
For the white disk, let its radius be R, the coins rotates at a speed V = 4v
We know that v ∝ r.
Since the coin on the white disk has a greater speed, so its radius would be greater.
So, the white disk has a larger radius.

as shown in the figure, a 10-kg block on a perfectly smooth horizontal table is connected by a horizontal string to a 63-kg block that is hanging over the edge of the table. what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10-kg block when the other block is gently released?
Newton's second law allows to find the acceleration of the two-body system, where a mass is hanging is:
The acceleration of the system is: a = 8.46 m / s²
Newton's second law states that the net force on a body is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
∑ F = m a
Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.
A free body diagram is that diagram of the system where the forces are shown without the details of the bodies. In the attachment we have a free-body diagram of the system.
Let's write Newton's second law for each axis.

T = m₁ a

body in the horizontal part
N-W₁ = 0
N = W₁
Body hanging.
W₂ - T = m₂ a
Wwhere the positive direction is down, let's write our system of equations.
T = m₁ a
W₂-T = m₂ a
Let's Resolve.
m₂ g = (m₁ + m₂) a
a = [tex]\frac{m_2}{m_1+m_2} \ g[/tex]
Let's calculate.
a =[tex]\frac{63}{10+63} \ 9.8[/tex]
a = 8.46 m / s²

Andrew skis down a hill.
Andrew starts from the top of the hill and his speed increases as he goes downhill.
He controls his speed and direction by using his skis.
He brings himself to a stop at the bottom of the hill.
Describe the energy changes that happen between starting and stopping.
Explanation:
gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, which transforms into kinetic energy as he moves bottom of the hill
that's mean potential energy transfoms into kinetic energy
His potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when his speed increases as he goes downhill.
What is mechanical energy?Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total potential energy stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.
Total mechanical energy is s the sum of all the kinetic as well as potential energy stored in the system.
ME = KE + PE
When Andrew skis down a hill then he had stored potential energy due to the height of the hill and his gravitational weight,
Due to the height of the slope and his weight, Andrew had potential energy stored when he skied down it.
As he descended the hill, his speed increased, transforming this potential energy into kinetic energy.

Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?
A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.
B All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
C The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length
D The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.
Geometric optics allows you to find which the correct answer about which false statement is:
B) All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
Geometric optics studies the formation of images using the light geometric properties of optical systems, the main expression for this is:
[tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]
Where f is the focal length, p and q the distance to the object and the image respectively.
There are some points of special interest:
Object at infinity (p = ∞). In this case of the expression we see that the image is at the focal length. Image at infinity (q = ∞). In this case the object is at the focal point.
Let's analyze the claims.
A) True. A parallel ray comes from infinity and the image is formed at the focal point.
B) False. The image point is given by the expression above and depends on the distance to the object.
C) True. This is the definition of focal length.
D) True. All distances are measured from the main axis.
In conclusion, using geometric optics we can find that the correct answer about which false statement is:
B) All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

If a car is at rest, which of the following is correct?
A.not enough information
B.more than 3 forces are acting on the car
C.no force acts on the car
D.The net force on the car is zero
Answer:
D
Unbalanced or net forces acting on the car will cause it to move
The correct answer is option D. The net force on the car is zero.
What forces act on a car at rest?
Since the car is not accelerating, the force of air resistance and the friction force must add to give the exact opposite of the applied force. The net force here would be zero, as well.
When an object is at rest no gravitational force is acting on it?Newton's First Law is the law of inertia. An object with no net forces acting on it which is initially at rest will remain at rest. If it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity.
