Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

Identify two potential improvements to the opal extraction process and explain how these improvements could minimize harm to the
Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.

What is the function of the bronchioles?<br> please help
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The bronchioles function is to deliver air to tiny sacs called alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

Explanation:

Bronchioles are air passages inside the lungs that branch off like tree limbs from the bronchi—the two main air passages into which air flows from the trachea (windpipe) after being inhaled through the nose or mouth. The bronchioles deliver air to tiny sacs called alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position, what fraction of the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio is  KE : TM  =  0.75

Explanation:

from the question we are told that

  The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position

Generally the total mechanical  energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

        TM  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2

Here  k is the spring constant  ,  A is the total displacement of the  the mass  from maximum  compression to maximum extension of the spring

Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

        TM  =  KE  + PE

=>     KE = TM  - PE

Here the potential  energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

     PE   = \frac{1}{ 2}  *  k *  [ x ]^2

Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is  

      x = \frac{A}{2}

So

     PE   = \frac{1}{ 2}  *  k *  [ \frac{A}{2}  ]^2

So

      KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2 - \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  [\frac{A}{2} ]^2

=>    KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2 - \frac{1}{8}  *  k  *  A ^2

=>    KE =  0.375  *  k  *  A^2

So the ratio of  KE :  TM is  mathematically represented as

       \frac{KE}{TM} =  \frac{0.375  k A^2 }{0.5 k A^2}

=>    \frac{KE}{TM} = 0.75
