Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance. Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure. We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency. This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz". The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface
