Two analogies: 
1. The wires are like hoses full of water. As soon as you turn on the water, water is pushed out the end of the hose. 
2. Although the electrons only move at 1mm/s, the electomagnetic pulse travels through the circuit at near speed of light (varies btw .1c to .9c). It is this pulse that provides the pressure to push the electrons out the end of the wire into the light

Ivahew [28]
Initial velocity: 0
final velocity: 7 m/s
a = 3.6
t = ?
x = ?

(7-0)/3.6 = t
t = 1.94 s

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

Can somebody help me PLEASE I will mark Brainly and 10+ points
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3)solid, liquid,  gas

4)false

5)Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. ... This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same

6)Physical changes are changes that do not alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance. Chemical changes are frequently harder to reverse than physical changes.

7)Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurements, and then subtract the former from the latter to find the mass of the object. This process is commonly referred to as "taring."

8) i think ductility but im not sure

9)If only the form of a substance changes, you have observed a physical change. A common physical change occurs when matter changes from one phase to another. When an ice cube melts for example, it becomes liquid water.

10)Oil floats on the surface because water is heavier than oil. Scientists say that water is more dense than oil. This is why the oil always stays in the top container.
