Science fiction movies that include explosion sound effects for battles in space are not scientifically correct. Why is this?

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.

How is budgeting different for most states than for the federal government?
meriva

There are three general kinds of state balanced budget requirements:

<span>The governor's proposed budget must be balanced (43 states and Puerto Rico).The budget the legislature passes must be balanced (39 states and Puerto Rico).<span>The budget must be balanced at the end of a fiscal year or biennium, so that no deficit can be carried forward (37 states and Puerto Rico).
</span></span><span>Nature of state balanced-budget requirements All the states except Vermont have a legal requirement of a balanced budget. Some are constitutional, some are statutory, and some have been derived by judicial decision from constitutional provisions about state indebtedness that do not, on their face, call for a balanced budget. The General Accounting Office has commented that "some balanced budget requirements are based on interpretations of state constitutions and statutes rather than on an explicit statement that the state must have a balanced budget."

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

Matthew is looking at two different atoms. One has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. The other substance has 8 protons and 12 neutrons.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

They are the same element.

Explanation:

Atom >>>>> Proton >>>> Neutron

A >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 10

B >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 12

From the table above we can see that both atoms have the same proton number.

Therefore, they are the same element because they have the same proton number which means that they have the same atomic number. The element in this case is existing as an isotope in that the atoms have the same proton number but different neutron number.
