Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

A mass-spring system oscillates with an amplitude of 4.60 cm. If the spring constant is 234 N/m and the mass is 524 g, determine
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Mechanical energy, U = 0.247 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 234 N/m

Mass, m = 524 g = 0.524 kg

Amplitude, A = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

To find,

The mechanical energy of the system.

Solution,

We know that the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is equal to its mechanical energy. In mass-spring system, it is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 234\times (0.046)^2

U = 0.247 Joules

So, the mechanical energy of the system is 0.247 Joules.

Why would the planets move in a straight path if there was no gravitational energy from the sun​
omeli [17]

Explanation:

The sun's gravitational force is very strong. If it were not, a planet would move in a straight line out into space. The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun
