<h3>Answer;</h3>

B. Sound waves can move through various mediums.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another. It involves transmission of energy from the source to another point.
A wave may or may not require a medium for transmission. Waves that require medium for transmission are called mechanical waves and those that do not require medium for transmission are known as electromagnetic waves.
Light is an example of electromagnetic wave therefore it can be blocked when obstacles are placed on its path. However, for the case of sound waves, they can not be blocked by an obstacle as sound would travel through the medium used to block.

Answer:

a) $v = 312.791\,\frac{m}{s}$ , b) $a = 13.333\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking the rocket velocity and acceleration at t = 6 s.

a) The general equation of the rocket is:

$v=v_{o} -v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}$

$v = 230\,\frac{m}{s}-(1200\,\frac{m}{s} )\cdot \ln \frac{14000\,kg}{15000\,kg}$

$v = 312.791\,\frac{m}{s}$

b) The acceleration experimented by the rocket is:

$a = \frac{v_{ex}}{m_{o}}\cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$

$a = \frac{1200\,\frac{m}{s} }{15000\,kg}\cdot \frac{1000\,kg}{6\,s}$

$a = 13.333\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

What makes up the solar wind shown in the diagram?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solar energy production encompasses several power sources, both passive and active. It’s important to differentiate among the different types of solar energy production systems since it’s not uncommon for the average homeowner to confuse them. We’ll start with a diagram of solar energy hitting the earth surface.

Then we’ll present diagrams and discuss photovoltaic solar, solar hot water, and concentrated solar power. The easiest way to think about these is: am I using solar energy to heat water (solar hot water and CSP) or am I converting sunlight directly into electricity (photovoltaic cells)?
