Answer:

The volume of the highway's asphalt will be 6,400 cubic meters.

Explanation:

Volume is the overall magnitude of the three dimensions of a given object, that is, its width, length and depth. Thus, to obtain the volume of a certain object, its width must be multiplied by its length and this result in turn by its depth: W x L x D.

Thus, in this case, the highway has a width of 8 meters, a height of 4 cm and a depth of 20 km. As a first measure, all units of measurement must be expressed in a uniform way, for which the meter will be used in this case. Thus, the width of the highway will not vary, while its height will go from 4 cm to 0.04 meters (4/100), and its length will go from 20 km to 20,000 meters (20 x 1,000).

So, to obtain the volume of the asphalt on this highway, the following calculation must be performed:

8 x 0.04 x 20,000 = Volume

6,400 = Volume

Thus, the volume of the highway's asphalt will be 6,400 cubic meters.

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude.  The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.

Hope this helped!!!

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
