The answer is C, a catalyst. This is due to the fact that catalysts are substances that can be used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy required. However, the catalyst itself is not actually used up during the reaction.

James was standing on a boat in deep ocean water. He wanted to see how long it would take a tennis ball to reach the shore if he
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

only the wave energy of the water moves

Explanation:

The plan will not work due to the fact that only the wave energy of the water moves and not the water itself.

<em>The wave motion of water does not displace the water. It is only able to transfer energy from one point to another within the medium. Hence, the ball will hardly be displaced because the water itself does not move. However, it can get to the shore with the assistance of the water current.</em>
