Answer:

Potential

Explanation:

The water in the bathtub has more potential energy than that in the tea cup because it has a greater number of water molecules.

Mass is a parameter that is very instrumental in determining potential energy.

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of that body.

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Water in the tub will have more mass and contain a greater number of water molecules there in.

Since potential energy is directly proportional to mass, then, it will have a greater amount of potential energy.

just olya [345]

I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave
