Which of the following statements about electromagnetic and mechanical waves is true?

A. Electromagnetic waves must travel through a medium, but mechanical waves do not require a medium.

B. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.

C. Mechanical waves sometimes travel through a vacuum, and electromagnetic waves sometimes travel through matter.

D. Electromagnetic waves travel mostly through matter, and mechanical waves travel mostly through a vacuum.

B. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as any disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

Waves can be typically classified as either mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. In a vacuum, they cannot be propagated and would not cause any disturbance. An example is sound waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to be propagated. They can pass through any substance in nature. Electromagnetic radiations belongs to this class.

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
