Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are periodic oscillations, that carry energy, but not matter.

Waves are classified into two types:

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, which can oscillate along the direction of propagation of the wave (longitudinal wave) or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). These waves can only propagate in a medium, so they cannot travel in a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves. They are the only type of wave able to propagate through a vacuum (so, through space).

Therefore, the waves that need molecules in order to transfer energy are mechanical waves.

The force needed to accelerate a 2500 kg car at a rate of 4m/s² will be 10,000 N.Option B is correct.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Force,F = ?

Mass,m = 2500 kg

Acceleration,a = 4 m/s²

The force is found as;

F=ma

F=2500 kg × 4 m/s²

F= 10,000 N

The force needed to accelerate a 2500 kg car at a rate of 4m/s² will be 10,000 N.

Hence option B is correct.

Tell me how the temperatures in the tropics, temperate zones, and polar zones are similar and how they are different.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answers are down below!!

Explanation:

The climate region near the equator with warm air masses is known as tropical. In tropical and polar climates, the weather is consistent throughout the year. In temperate zones, the weather is affected by both warm and cold air masses at different times during the year, so the weather changes with the seasons.

Hope this helps!! =3

2. A common physics experiment involves lowering an open tube into a cylinder of water and moving the tube up and down to adjust

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question pertains to resonance in air column. It is the case of closed air column in which fundamental note is formed at a length which is as follows

l = λ / 4 where l is length of tube and λ is wave length.

here l = .26 m

λ = .26 x 4 = 1.04 m

frequency of sound = 330 Hz

velocity of sound = frequency x wave length

= 330 x 1.04

= 343.2 m /s

b )

Next overtone will be produced at 3 times the length

so next length of air column = 3 x 26

= 78 cm

c )

If frequency of sound = 256 Hz

wavelength = velocity / frequency

= 343.2 / 256

= 1.34 m

= 134 cm

length of air column for resonance

= wavelength / 4

134/4

= 33.5 cm

Describe the unique role of water in chemical and biological systems.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Of the important biological molecules only the non-polar lipids (fats and oils) and large polymers (e.g. polysaccharides, large proteins and DNA) do not dissolve. The water acts as a solvent for chemical reactions and also helps transport dissolved
