A compression wave is transmitted by motion or particles. Sound is a compression wave that travels through gases, liquids and solids by moving atoms/molecules/particles which in turn bump into neighbouring atoms/molecules/particles.

In a vacuum there are no atoms, molecules or particles present to transmit the wave.

Calculate the wavelength of a football (425g) thrown by an NFL quarterback traveling at 50mph
AnnyKZ [126]

Wavelength is 6.976 x 10^ -35 m

Explanation:

In this, we can use De Broglie’s equation. This equation is the relationship between De Broglie’s wavelength, velocity and the mass of a moving object. In this equation, we are using plank's constant which is 6.626 x 10^-34 m^2 kg/s.

We know that one mile per hour is equivalent to 0.447 M/S.

And One gram is equivalent to 10^-3 kg.

De Broglie’s wavelength = λ ( wave length) = Plank’s constant/ Mass x velocity

λ ( wave length) = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ (425 x10^-3) x ( 50 x 0.447)

                                 = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ 0. 425 x 22.35

                                 = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ 9.498

                                 = 6.976 x10^ -35 m

So, the wavelength of the football will be 6.976 x 10^ -35 m

Andrea and the other members of the tennis team are practicing hitting tennis balls. If two people hit identical balls at the sa
almond37 [142]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity or speed of the object. Since all of the balls have the same mass, the one with the highest speed or velocity will have the highest kinetic energy. Hope this helps!

Which of the following is an example of oxidation? A. Charcoal is placed on a grill and lighting fluid poured over it. B. A car
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

<u>The Answer is (B)  A car get rusty over the course of few years</u>Explanation:

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>Oxidation </u>refers to the process of loss of electrons by a molecule,atom or ion during a chemical reaction.The process which is just the opposite of oxidation is reduction,it occurs when their is gain of electrons .
  • <u>When iron reacts with the oxygen it forms a chemical know as Rust.In this case iron has lost some electrons and the oxygen has gained some electrons</u>
