Answer: The correct answer is mechanical wave.

Explanation:

A shock wave is produced during an earthquake. A shock wave is an area of of very high pressure created when an object travels faster than the speed of the sound. Shock waves are mechanical wave. It requires a medium to travel.

An electromagnetic wave does not require an medium to travel. A gamma ray and a radio wave are electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave.

Therefore, a scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. The shock wave is a kind of a mechanical wave.

<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

How much work is done if you push a box 150 meters with a force of 1.4 N
ss7ja [257]
The work done to push the box is equal to the product between the force and the distance through which the force is applied:
W=Fd
In our problem, the force is F=1.4 N and the distance covered is d=150 m, so the work done by pushing the box is
W=Fd=(1.4 N)(150 m)=210 J

What is the equilibrium constant of pure water at 25C
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

1.0 x 10-14.

Explanation:

We then replace the term on the right side of this equation with a constant known as the water dissociation equilibrium constant, Kw. In pure water, at 25C, the [H3O+] and [OH-] ion concentrations are 1.0 x 10-7 M. The value of Kw at 25C is therefore
