Answer:

The motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

Explanation:

This sound wave results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of air through which the sound wave is moving. The sound wave causes disturbance within the particles of air by transfering energy from one particle to the adjacent particles of air without causing permanent displacement of the particles of air. The motion between these particles of air caused by sound wave is vibrational, while breeze involves displacement of particles of air through translational motion. Hence, breeze is a moving mass of air.

Thus, the motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

Answer: B to C

Explanation: The line is curving inwards, practically calculating the stance that it had went down. If it went straight across, it stayed the same till a specific point, furthermore calculating the bent line bending upwards is actually a partial-raise, conclude points B to C is most likely an un-even balance, meaning it had went down; or decreasing. B to C is the decreasing segment of this equation/problem (question).

the illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the saurce?
Lelechka [254]
L = illuminance
A = surface
i = intensity

L = i / A ==: i = L * A

i = 6 lux * 4 m^2 = 24 lumen

On both the spring and fall equinoxes, the sun's rays are vertically overhead at the _______
Anni [7]

It is overhead at the equator, it is because the sun ray’s will be moving vertically as this will be directed at the equator. It is because if it moves vertically, it will hit or overhead the equator and this usually happens in spring and fall.

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours
