How do electromagnetic and mechanical waves compare?

Amachinist needs to remove a tight fitting pin of material a from a hole in a block made of material b. the machinist heats both the pin and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily. what statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material a to that of material b? a) the situation is not possible, heating block b will shrink the hole in the material as the material expands with increasing temperatureb) material b has the same coefficient of expansion as does material ac) material b has a negative coefficient of expansion and a has a positive coefficient of expansiond) material a has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material be) material b has a greate

Two large, flat, horizontally oriented plates are parallel to each other, a distance d apart. half way betwween the two plates the electric field has magnitude e. if the separation of the plates is reduced to d/2 what is the magnitude of the electric field half way between the plates?

You notice a very one-dimensional-thinking snail crawling along one rail of a railroad track. naturally, you remove it to a safer place. but before you do, you observe it as it moves from position xi = -92.9 cm to position xf = -64.9 cm along the rail, as measured from a point where one rail abuts the next. what is the snail\'s displacement δx in centimeters?
