I think A, because rodents already live in winter months when little food is available, but I'm not sure.
Answer:
The average velocity is
and
respectively.
Explanation:
Let's start writing the vertical position equation :

Where distance is measured in meters and time in seconds.
The average velocity is equal to the position variation divided by the time variation.
= Δx / Δt = 
For the first time interval :
t1 = 5 s → t2 = 8 s
The time variation is :

For the position variation we use the vertical position equation :

Δx = x2 - x1 = 1049 m - 251 m = 798 m
The average velocity for this interval is

For the second time interval :
t1 = 4 s → t2 = 9 s


Δx = x2 - x1 = 1495 m - 125 m = 1370 m
And the time variation is t2 - t1 = 9 s - 4 s = 5 s
The average velocity for this interval is :

Finally for the third time interval :
t1 = 1 s → t2 = 7 s
The time variation is t2 - t1 = 7 s - 1 s = 6 s
Then


The position variation is x2 - x1 = 701 m - (-1 m) = 702 m
The average velocity is

Answer:
it increases the amplitude of the wave as it propagates.
Explanation:
For t1:
t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec
For t2:
t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec
Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)
d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m
Where:
d = hor. distance
ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25
The answer is 3.19 : 2.25
