Answer:
A. a rigorously tested explanation
Explanation:
- B. and D. are out - theories are not opinionated, they are factual
- C. is out - not all theories are mathematical
- A. is the best choice
The smallest level of ordination in living things. Every living thing is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Answer:
C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.
Explanation:
When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"
Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)
Since v = 0 at maximum height
F = m(0/t)
F = 0N
This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.
Answer:
3. they can travel through solids
4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel
Explanation:
- S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.
- They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.
Answer:
Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
Explanation:
The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
