Answer: The correct answer is "medium".

Explanation:

The expression for the relation between the speed of the wave and frequency is as follows;

$v=f\lambda$

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave.

There is an inverse relationship between the frequency and wavelength. If the frequency of the wave increases then the wavelength of the wave decreases while the speed of the wave remains constant.

The properties of the wave can be described by amplitude, wavelength and frequency but the speed of the wave depends on the medium through which it is moving. The medium may be denser or rarer according to it the speed of the wave will vary.

Therefore, in the waves lab, you changed medium to see how it would affect wave speed.

The correct answer is C

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

360-degree rotation of the planet in 24 hours causes a 12-hour time clock. The earth rotates on its own axis and around the sun.

It completes one rotation on its own axis in 24 hours equal to 360 degrees which make one complete solar day. The part of the earth which is exposed to the sun has daytime while the other part experiences the night time.

During a change of state, the temperature of a substance _____.

Natali5045456 [20]

Hello,

Your questions states:

During a change of state, the temperature of a substance _____?

In which you gave us some choices:

A. decreases if the arrangement of particles in the substance changes.
B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.
C. increases if the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases.
D. increases during melting and vaporization and decreases during freezing and condensation.

Your answer would be:

B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.

Your explanation/Reasoning:

It absorbs the energy, then after the phase changes it then increases the temperature all over again.

Have a nice day:)

Hope this helps!

What element/compounds are used in the melting of ice?

Galina-37 [17]

The temperature of the air, pavement, and the type of ice-melt compound used will affect the rate at which the ice melts. There are many different ice-melt compounds available from traditional rock salt (sodium chloride) to ice-melt pellets (calcium chloride).
