Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.

This is a form of energy representing the motion of the molecules which make up an object. A. Thermal Energy B. Kinetic Energy C

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Kinetic energy.

Explanation:

There are many kinds of energy. Some of them are kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy etc.
The energy that shows the motion of the object is called its kinetic energy.
Also, the sum of kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy is called mechanical energy.
Out of the given options, kinetic energy is the form of energy that represents the motion of the molecules which make up an object.
Hence, the correct option is (B).

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

$\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}$

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} = \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s$ which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio

valentinak56 [21]

The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
