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

An 800 N man climbs 5 m up a ladder. How much gravitational potential energy does he gain?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man  = 800N

Height of ladder  = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

 Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

 Gravitational potential energy  = 800 x 5  = 4000J

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?
Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means 

        Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

                     =   (2.5 A)  x  (2.4 ohms)

                     =       6 volts .

In what direction must the current I2 flow in the straight wire in order to create a field at the center of the loop in the dire
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Right to left

Explanation:

From right hand thumb rule, the magnetic field at the centre of loop points out of the plane of paper. Thus the straight wire current should create magnetic field into the plane of paper at the centre. Hence the direction of current in long wire should be from right to left
