Physical Science Pre-Test 2020-2021 Question: 1-10 The distance between Earth and the Moon was determined by measuring the time

it took for light waves from Earth to travel to the Moon and back. Why was it not possible to use sound waves for this experiment Sound waves must move through a substance Sound waves would change frequency on the return to Earth Sound waves move too slowly for the technique to be accurate Sound waves move more slowly in Earth's atmosphere than in space​

Answer:

Option A - Sound waves must move through a substance

Explanation:

Unlike light waves, sound waves must travel through a medium/substance for such a medium to vibrate and then produce sound.

As a matter of fact sound can't travel through empty space.

Thus, looking at the options given, the correct one is:

Sound waves must move through a substance which is Option A

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second

False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

Was the cannonball able to hit its target of 50 meters when the initial velocity was 20 m/s? Why?/Why Not?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The cannon ball was not able to hit the target because the target is located at a height of 50 m whereas the cannon ball was only above to get to a height of 20 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height to which the target is located = 50 m

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

To know whether or not the cannon ball is able to hit the target, we shall determine the maximum height to which the cannon ball attained. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 20² – (2 × 10 × h)

0 = 400 – 20h

Collect like terms

0 – 400 = – 20h

– 400 = – 20h

Divide both side by – 20

h = – 400 / – 20

h = 20 m

Thus, the the maximum height to which the cannon ball attained is 20 m.

From the calculations made above, we can conclude that the cannon ball was not able to hit the target because the target is located at a height of 50 m whereas the cannon ball was only above to get to a height of 20 m.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

c. The group speed is less than the phase speed.

Explanation:

For an individual the speed is given by v phase = w/k

w is angular frequency and k is wave number.

This is called phase speed. Group speed is the speed of wave packet.The rate of advance of a crest on a single wave point which is fixed phase.

Which region of the brain serves as the major relay station for most sensory impulses that reach the primary sensory areas of th
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Thalamus

Explanation:

Thalamus is a mass of gray matter located just above the brain stem, between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain. It plays a role in pain sensation, attention and alertness. It consists of four parts: the hypothalamus, the epythalamus, the ventral thalamus and the dorsal thalamus.

It (Thalamus) serves as the major relay station for most sensory impulses that reach the primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex from the spinal cord and brain stem.
