The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.
The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.
It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .
Answer:
1) 0.43 meters per second
2) 0.21 meters per second
3) 1.02 
4) 0.66 seconds
Explanation:
part 1
By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):


With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

part 2
Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:


part 3
Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:


part 4
The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:

D because friction will slow it down going up hills (for safety reasons) and you go really fast going down.
B.) The retina is the layer containing t<span>he light sensing nerve cells (rods and cones)
The lens helps the eye focus light on the retina, the cornea is the outer transparent structure that covers the iris and helps the eye focus, and the pupil is the opening through which light enters the eye.</span>
c would be the correct answer because when its a negative power your moving the decimal to the left whic makes the number smaller
