HELP Ana and Dana were at the beach enjoying the waves. Remembering what they learned in science class, Ana said that the ocean waves were mechanical waves, but Dana said they were electromagnetic waves. Which student is correct and why? (AKS 9b, DOK 2)

A.

Both of them are right. Ocean waves travel through a medium so it is a mechanical wave. It is also an electromagnetic wave since the particles moves up and down.

B.

Only Ana is right. Ocean waves travel must have a medium to travel through so it is a mechanical wave.

C.

Only Dana is right. In ocean waves the particles move up and down which is the characteristic of an electromagnetic wave. Ocean waves need a medium so it is not a mechanical wave.

D.

Both of them are wrong. Neither ocean waves nor EM waves need a medium.

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
