Trevor is looking at data from an experiment where electromagnetic and mechanical waves were sent through various media. The movement of the particles in the wave and the behavior of the wave as it moved from air into each medium is shown in a table.
Wave Movement of Particles Behavior in Water Behavior in Vacuum
1 right and left slowed down sped up
2 front and back sped up no motion
3 front and back sped up no motion
4 up and down sped up no motion
5 right and left slowed down sped up

Trevor would like to determine which waves in the experiment were electromagnetic and which of the waves were mechanical. Which question should Trevor ask to help categorize the waves correctly?

A
What type of wave can travel through water?

B
What type of wave travels at the fastest speed?

C
What type of wave cannot travel through a vacuum?

D
What type of wave can change speed and direction?

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!
