Answer:
C
Explanation:
Answer A: A surface wave is a wave that travels along the surface of a medium.
Answer B, C: Electromagnetic waves are waves that have no medium to travel whereas mechanical waves need a medium for its transmission.
Answer D: The sentence in the answer D does not fit to the blank in the definition ( of the question )

Hope this answer can help you.
Explanation :
The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:
Weight, (W)
Force due to air resistance, (F)
Upthrust force, (U)
Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.
In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.
so, 
and 
so,
....................(1)
when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so
..........(2)
solving equation (1) and (2)

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
Answer:
In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion
In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.
In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
If iodine is added to a starch solution, they react with each other and the iodine darkens to an almost pitch black.
however, if iodine is added to a solution containing no starch, it will show up only as an extremely pale brown. almost colorless and hardly visible.
when following the changes in some inorganic oxidation reduction reactions, iodine may be used as an indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. soluble starch solution is added. only iodine element in the presence of iodide ion will give the characteristic blue black color. neither iodine element alone nor iodide ions alone will give the color result.
hope this answer really helps your question :)
