A mechanical wave such as sound needs a medium to travel through. This is why they say that in space, no one can hear you scream (because space is a vacuum and no medium exists). On the contrary, light can exist in wave or particle form. This is why we have the ability to see beyond the realms of the Earth.
Answer:
<em>Since I can see no choices, I answered it in my own understanding.</em>
Brian - amplitude and frequency
Marcia - amplitude and longitudinal wave
Explanation:
"Sound" and "sound waves" are essential part of a person's life. They can be used for<u> communicating</u> and <u>detecting some object</u>s.
Brian loves singing in the shower which means that he is using a greater amplitude. Amplitude refers to the<em> intensity of the sound </em>or the amount of energy that a sound carries. When one sings in the shower, the sound cannot travel very far. It bounces immediately back to the person singing thus, making the sound bigger. Brian is also using a <em>different range of </em><em>frequency</em><em> compared to his normal way of talking.</em> The frequency of a normal male voice is normally 85 to 180 Hz. A person singing may have a frequency as high as 1,500 Hz.
Marcia talks loudly on the phone. This means that she is also using a greater amplitude because the intensity of her voice is big. Since she is using the telephone, this means that her voice travels in a longitudinal wave through the telephone. This allows her voice to reach to the person on the other end of the line.
Answer:
In the light bulb, the flow of charge through the filament heats it up and causes it to glow. In this way, the light bulb converts electrical energy to heat energy and light energy.

<span>When an object moves in a circle, the acceleration points toward the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration.
We can use a simple equation to find centripetal acceleration.
a = v^2 / r
We can use this same equation to find the speed of the car.
v^2 = a * r
v = sqrt { a * r }
v = sqrt{ (1.50)(9.80 m/s^2)(11.0 m) }
v = 12.7 m/s
The speed of the roller coaster is 12.7 m/s</span>
Explanation:
A projectile (Cannon ball) is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises up to a peak while moving horizontally. When it reaches the peak, the projectile starts to fall.
