Strange as it may seem, that's true. (choice 'a'.)
"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". It means ANY change in
the speed or direction of motion. So a car with the brakes applied
and slowing down, and a point on the rim of a bicycle wheel that's
turning at a constant rate, are both accelerating.
Answer:
O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.
Explanation:
Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.
The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.
The angle that the cart rolls with the horizontal. The closer the ramp gets to 90 degrees the faster the cart will accelerate.
