Answer:A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves. What does this demonstrate about the propagation of waves through a medium?
A) Waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
B) Waves transmit matter but not energy as they progress through a medium.
C) Waves do not transmit matter or energy as they progress through a medium.
D) Waves transmit energy as well as matter as they progress through a medium.

In stars more massive than the sun, the core temperature is hotter, which allows for fusion of more complex elements.
Most of the fusion occurs in the core.
In stars more massive than the sun, fusion continues through Deuterium, Carbon, and finally reaching iron/nickel.
Up to this point, the fusion reaction was endothermic, which means that the energy expended to produce the fusion reaction was exceeded by the energy produced in the reaction.
Fusion past iron is exothermic, and therefore the star will be able to survive by fusing elements heavier than iron.
After the core is almost entirely iron, the star is no longer in the Main Sequence.
So, fusion in stars more massive than the sun continue fusing until the core is almost entirely <em>iron</em>.
Answer:
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy
because he is carrying more mass and as the ground is muddy his feet goes in due to the pull of gravity
Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.
Explanation:
- A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object.
- If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object.
- Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force × Displacement
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential.
- Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object.
- Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
- Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
- Both energy and work are measured in Joules.
