Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time $k=\frac{d}{t}$

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.

Option (1) : A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

A soldier throws a grenade horizontally from the top of a cliff. Which of the following curves best describes the path taken by

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4. Parabola

Explanation:

The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch
