Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Compression is that part of longitudinal wave in which the medium of particles are closer and there is momentary decrease in volume of medium.

Rarefaction is that part of longitudinal wave in which the medium of particles apart and there is momentary increase in volume of medium.

Compression is that part in which particles vibrating in a medium come closer to each other and rarefaction is that part in which particles vibrating in a medium move apart from each other .

When looking at a food label, to be considered a good source of a nutrient, the nutrient must be? A.More than 20% of your daily
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A. More than 20% of your daily recommended amount.

Explanation:

Reading food labels can be tricky. The percent daily value listed on the right of all food labels lets you know what percent out of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient you are consuming in that specific food.

To check if the food you're consuming is a good source of that nutrient you need in higher amount, the nutrient must be labeled 20% or higher.

The rule used here is called the 5/20 rule. According to this rule, A nutrient that is 5% or below is considered less and a nutrient which is labeled 20% or higher is considered good enough in that food source.

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
