Answer:

True

Explanation:

A wave is generated as a result of oscillations which creates disturbances in the medium and these disturbances termed as waves propagates or travels from one point to another.

Waves can be classifies as:

Mechanical waves which requires material medium for their propagation

Electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium to propagate.

A wave travels at a specific velocity depending on the type of the medium in which it propagates.

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2

Why do plants not need digistive system

WINSTONCH [101]

Humans need a digestive system to do cellular respiration, which produces energy used for growth and movement.

Plants do not need one as they make their own energy through photosynthesis. The process produces glucose, which is a form of energy for the plants.

Can any ideal gas power cycle have a thermal efficiency greater than 55 percent when using thermal energy reservoirs at 627∘C at

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Since the maximum thermal efficiency is higher than 55 percent, there can be a power cycle with these reservoir temperature with an efficiency higher than 55 percent.

Explanation:

The maximum thermal efficiency is determined from the given temperature

nth Carnot = 1- TL/TH

Where TL= 17+273= 290k

TH= 627*273= 900K.

nth Carnot = 1- 290/900 = 0.68

0.68*100 = 68 percent
