B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.

Explanation:

Sound waves are created when there is a vibration of the particles in a medium. For example, our voice is an example of sound wave: when we speak, the molecules of air around us start vibrating, producing regions of higher concentration of molecules (called compressions) and of lower concentration (called rarefactions). It is clear from this definition that sound waves can only propagate if there is a physical medium: such as a gas, a liquid or a solid, but sound waves cannot propagate through empty space.

Since space is almost empty, the correct choice is

B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.

Answer:

Options B, A, D, C

When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.

How will the motion of a falling whirligig compare to that of a falling paper ball?
kicyunya [14]

The motion of a falling whirligig is different to that of a falling paper ball due to spinning.

<h3>Type of motion performed by whirligig and falling paper ball </h3>

The motion of a falling whirligig is different from the motion of a falling paper ball because the paper ball falls on the ground without spinning while on the other hand, the whirligig falls on the ground along with spinning.

The falling whirligig performs two motion i.e. one is falling on the ground and the other is spinning during motion whereas paper ball performs one motion i.e. motion in the air towards the ground so we can conclude that the motion of a falling whirligig is different than of a falling paper ball.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
