select one:

a. electromagnetic waves are all high frequency; mechanical waves are all low frequency.
b. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum; mechanical waves require a medium.
c. electromagnetic waves are visible; mechanical waves are invisible.
d. electromagnetic waves always reflect; mechanical waves always refract.

The voltage applied across a given parallel-plate capacitor is doubled. how is the energy stored in the capacitor affected?

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2

1. explain how you calculate the net force in any direction on the box. 2. suppose an upward force of 15n is added to the box. what will be the net vertical force on the box? 3. what force could be applied to the box to make the net force in the horizontal direction zero? explain. 4. suppose a force of 25n to the right is added to the box. what will be the net force to the right?
