6 0

Answer:

distance traveled is 15 mi

displacement is 5 mi

Distance takes time into account and adds up all the tiny displacements during the entire period of the trip.

Displacement ignores time and looks only at the change in position from the starting point to the ending point.

Mike recently purchased an optical telescope. Identify the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is closest to the frequency
Zepler [3.9K]
The elctromagnetic spectrum ranges from the radiowaves to the gamma rays. The whole spectrum is shown in the attached picture. But the optical telescope can only see the visible region. So, it only covers from the 400 nm to 700 nm frequency. It follows the ROYGBIV colors, where red has the highest frequency and violet has the lowest frequency.

Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
____ [38]

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

v=f\lambda

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

<h2>Answer: B)Scientists’ understanding of cells continually improved as the results of studies built upon each other over time and formed the cell theory.</h2>

Explanation:

Nowadays we know <u>cells are essential microscopic units that make up the living beings, capable of reproducing independently. </u>

However, this is the result of a long process of discoveries and studies made since the 19th century, in which the continuous improvement of new technologies was helpful.

In fact, it is wel known the English scientist Robert Hooke was the first to discover the existence of cells by looking through a compound microscope at a cork sheet, realizing that it was made up of small polygonal holes (like those of a honeycomb) that reminded him of the chambers in which the monks stayed (called cells). Then, during the next centuries more studies were made until we had the current knowledge about the structure of a cell.
