Answer:

Minivan.

Explanation:

The answer seems like an obvious pick for the semi truck, but it's most likely the minivan. Let's compare them like this;

Let's say a 5'10, 160 pound man tackles you. His wide-spread body is hitting you all at once. Or the semi truck comparison. The hit is spread out and it has more weight along with it.

Now, the same guy punches you in your stomach. The punch will most likely hurt more because it's more concentrated on one spot. That's the minivan comparison. The minivan, being smaller, can only concentrate on one spot of the victimized target.

The semi truck may destroy it worse than the minivan, yes, but the minivan will have more force against the object due to the one concentrated point instead of the hit being spread out along the entire target.

Sometimes, the semi truck may be a greater foe, but the minivan would apply more force in more situations.

You observe 2 waves named alpha and beta. The alpha wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and the beta wave has a frequency of 2 Hz. Base

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

shorter wavelength = alpha wave

Explanation:

Given that,

The alpha wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and the beta wave has a frequency of 2 Hz.

We need to compare the wavelengths of these two waves.

For alpha wave,

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{c}{f_1}\\\\\lambda_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5}\\\\=6\times 10^7\ m$

For beta wave,

$\lambda_2=\dfrac{c}{f_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2}\\\\=15\times 10^7\ m$

From the above calculations, we find that the wavelength of the alpha wave is shorter than the wavelength of the beta wave.

grin007 [14]

The answer is… Ions are highly charged species that can readily conduct an electrical current. But hydrogen chloride the gas does not exist as ions since there is no solvent medium for them to dissolve into. Hope this helps!
