Sound is a mechanical wave <span>that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.</span><span>

Answer:
the mechanical advantage is 10
Explanation:
The computation of the mechanical advantage is as follows:
Mechanical advantage is
= Load ÷ Effort
where,
The Loan is equivalent to the weight i.e. 500 lb
And, the effort is equivalent to the force applied i.e. 50lb
So, the mechanical advantage is
= 500 ÷ 50
= 10
Hence, the mechanical advantage is 10
When I drive to the office, I drive through two school zones,
and four intersections that are controlled by traffic lights.
My average speed for the trip is higher than my instantaneous
speed is at any point in the school zones, or at any time when
I'm waiting for a red light to change.
