Answer:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Sound waves are the longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the wave move parallel to the direction of propagation of waves.

It moves in the form of compression and rarefaction. When the particles are compact in a space the compression occurs while when they far apart form each other rarefaction occurs.

What does that make?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

lithium

Explanation:

A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus irrespective of the number of neutrons or electrons. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always 3. The mass number, however, is 6 in the isotope with 3 neutrons, and 7 in the isotope with 4 neutrons.

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is

Anni [7]

Answer: 20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile's acceleration? (Reme

slava [35]

Answer:

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 24 m/s

Final velocity = 15 m/s

Time = 12 seconds

To find the acceleration of the automobile;

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac {final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac{15 - 24}{12}$

$Acceleration = \frac{-9}{12}$

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the automobile is decelerating because its final velocity is lesser than its initial velocity, leading to a negative value.
