The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

Explain why a greater frequency indicates greater energy in a wave.

If a ball is 10m high with what velocity will it fall?

Semmy [17]

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the ball = 10m

Unknown:

Velocity of fall or final velocity = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate equation of motion to solve this problem.

The object is falling with respect to gravity.

V² = U² + 2gH

where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s²

H is the height of fall

The initial velocity here is zero and

V² = 2 x 9.8 x 10 = 196

V = 14m/s
