Answer:

Sound travels fastest in solids

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in the medium the wave is travelling through.

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium: the higher the density, the higher the speed. This is because in a medium with higher density, atoms/molecules are closer together, so they collide more frequently and therefore the wave can be transmitted faster and more efficiently.

Since solids have higher density than liquids and gases, this also means that mechanical waves (so, sound as well) travel faster in solids than liquids or gases.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
