Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from A. the collapse of a nearby star into
diamong [38]

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?
satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules

A karate master strikes a board with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s, decreasing to 1.0 m/s as his hand passes through the board
kenny6666 [7]

The force exerted on the board by the karate master given the data is -4500 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 1 m/s
  • Time (t) = 0.002 s
  • Mass (m) = 1 Kg
  • Force (F) = ?
<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted can be obtained as illustrated below:

F = m(v - u) / t

F = 1 (1 - 10) / 0.002

F = (1 × -9) / 0.002

F = -4500 N

If blue light hits a red filter, what kind of light comes through the filter?
kotegsom [21]
It can be either C or B

Reasons it can be C: Red and Blue together(if I'm correct in art) is the combined color of two of the 3 primary colors to get a purple/violet color and if said filter is see through or just too dense for the light to even penetrate the said filter(in theory) but all in all purple is the answer with the two primary colors blue and red.

But also, it depends on what kind of filter it is, if the filter is like a screen filter then it will just come out in blue with the slightly different colors of again purple but in a darker tone then the actual eye can see.

Or it can be just C again cause the filter can be a film but that's a bit too far and to complex for right now so I believe it is B
