<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.

How to find weight in science
Kaylis [27]

There are several different methods, depending on the particular situation.  A few that might occasionally be useful include:

-- Read the label on the package.

-- Measure the mass and multiply by the local acceleration of gravity.

-- Measure the mass AND the local acceleration of gravity, then multiply.

-- Place the object or sample on a bathroom scale.

-- Place the object on one end of a symmetrical see-saw.  Through trial and error, determine the weight required on the other end to balance the system.
