Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Find the graph attached for the motion.

b). If a shopper walk 5.4 m westwards then 7.8 m eastwards,

   Distance traveled by the shopper = Distance traveled in eastwards + Distance traveled westwards

                                                            = 5.4 + 7.8

                                                            = 13.2 m

c). Displacement of the shopper = Distance walked westwards - Distance traveled eastwards

                                                      = 5.4 - 7.8

                                                      = -2.4 m

Therefore, magnitude of the displacement of the shopper is = 2.4 m

And the direction of the displacement is eastwards.

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

If a specimen was being viewed using a 20x objective lens and 10x ocular lens, what would be the total magnification
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

20x objective lens was used by specimen

10x ocular lens was also used by him.

we have to find the total magnification.

For calculating the total magnification we 'll simply do multiplication

Total Magnification = 20x × 10x

Total Magnification = 200x

So , the total magnification will be 200x .

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?
likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.
