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>

Find the acceleration of a car that can go from rest to 50 km/h in 13 s
ziro4ka [17]

The acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is the measure of change in velocity experienced by any object for a given time period. So it is determined as the ratio of difference in the velocity to the time period.

As here the initial velocity is stated as zero, so u = 0. And the final velocity is termed as 50 km/h. Then we have to determine the acceleration in 13 s. So here we have to convert the units as common units. Thus, 50 km/h should be converted to m/s as \frac{50*1000}{3600}=13.88 m/s

So now, the initial velocity u = 0 and final velocity v = 13.88 m/s and the time period is given as t = 13 s.

Acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{13.88-0}{13}=1.067 m/s^{2}

So the acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.
