First of all, the question is vague as you haven't mentioned the medium of propagation of the wave, which is extremely crucial.

For example light travels at <span>299,792</span> km/second in vacuum, but in certain semiconductors, it travels as slow as 9 km/second. Sound, ocean and seismic waves don't exist in vacuum at all.

If you mean the maximum possible speed any of these options can attain in any medium of choice for the different options, then the answer would be 
b. radio waves, which travel exactly at the speed of light in vacuum (299,792 km/second) and with an almost similar(slightly less) speed in air. (Radio waves are nothing but electromagnetic waves with low frequency)

A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east  Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35°  Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be  

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

             = 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

             = 1.10 -0.798

              = 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

A toy rocket is launched straight up by using a spring. The rocket is initially pressed down on the spring so that the spring is
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

6.86 meters

Explanation:

Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.

So that;

x = 9 cm = 0.09 m

In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;

PE = \frac{1}{2} Kx^{2}

    = \frac{1}{2} x 830 x (0.09)^{2}

    = 415 x 0.0081

    = 3.3615

The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules

Also,

PE = mgh

where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 ms^{-2}

Thus,

PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.49h

⇒ h = \frac{3.3615}{0.49}

      = 6.8602

The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.

It’s voltage can easily be modified and it allows power to be transmitted at a high voltage rate before being lowered to a smaller voltage rate to be safe.
