Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible.  --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium.  --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car, m₁ = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, v_{Ci}=25\ m/s

Mass of truck, m₂ = 9000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, v_{Ti}=20\ m/s

After the collision, velocity of the car, v_{Cf}=18\ m/s

Let v is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision. The momentum of the system remains conversed.

initial\ momentum=final\ momentum

1200\ kg\times 25\ m/s+9000\ kg\times 20\ m/s=1200\ kg\times 18+9000\ kg\times v

210000-21600=9000\ kg\times v

v=20.93\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

 Force plane exert on pilot  = 4270 N

Explanation:

first convert radius and speed to ms

using formula from force we know that

mass = weight/ gravity =  700 N/ 9.8N/kg=  71.4 kg

Fc=  N-mg

N= Fc+ mg                  As Fc = mv²/R

N= mv²/R + mg

taking m common

N= m( v²/R +g)

   = 71.4( (200)²/ 800 + 9.8 )

 Force  = 4270 N

Write difference between upstroke and downstroke of water pump
lakkis [162]

Explanation:

Upstroke is a mechanism which helps to raise the plunger and downstroke helps to help lower the plunger. On the up-stroke of the plunger, the lower valve opens and the upper valve is closed. ... Whereas, on the downstroke, the lower valve closes and the upper one opens.
