<em>Mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy is true</em>

Answer: <em>True </em>

Explanation:

Mechanical wave cannot travel in the absence of a material medium. The reason why sound can’t be heard in vacuum is because it is a mechanical wave. Seismic wave, which is produced during earthquakes and ocean waves are also mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are of three types and they are

  • <em>Transverse wave </em>
  • <em>Longitudinal wave </em>
  • <em>Surface wave </em>

Electromagnetic waves are known for their propagation without a material medium. X-rays, light waves, infrared waves etc are electromagnetic waves.

Characteristic features of a wave are its frequency, wavelength, speed etc.

Answer:True

Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)
