Answer:

D) Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Explanation:

A) This is incorrect because Light waves do not need a medium to pass through it while Sound waves need a medium to pass through it.

B) This is incorrect as explained above.

C) This is incorrect because Light waves do not carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

Light waves are transverse waves, as so they carry energy perpendicular to the motion of the wave while Sound waves are longitudinal waves and so, they carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

D) This is correct because Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

Sound waves are transverse waves, as so they carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave while Light waves are longitudinal, as so they carry energy perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

What is the flow rate of water in a pipe flowing full with an area of 0.3 m2 and velocity of 2.5 m/s?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

0.75 m³/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.

From the question,

Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2.5(0.3)

Q = 0.75 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s
