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.

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound
adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059

The seismic activity density is 0.0059
