Whenever you work a physics problem you should get into the habit of thinking about whether the answer is physicallyrealistic. Think about how far off the ground a typical small truck is. Is the answer to Part B physically realistic?Select the best choice below.a. No, typical small pickup truck springs are not large enough to compress 0.61{\rm m}.b. Yes, typical small pickup truck springs can easily compress 0.61{\rm m}

a. No, typical small pickup truck springs are not large enough to compress 0.61{\rm m}.

Explanation:

Electronmagnetic waves: yes

Mechanical waves: no

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of electric fields and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicularly to each other, and also in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (therefore they are called "transverse waves".

As all waves, electromagnetic waves transport energy (but not matter). In particular, the type of energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is in the form of radiation, also called light energy.

Conversely, mechanical waves consist of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Mechanical waves also carries energy (but not matter), but not in the form of radiation (light energy): in fact, the energy is carried as vibrations of the particles in the medium, so it is a different type of energy.
