Answer:

The correct answer is B

An echo underwater and an echo in the air will return at different times. The echo underwater will return more quickly than the echo in the air.

Explanation:

The physics of this is simple.

Water and air are both made up of particles. The particles for water are more closely or densely arranged that those of the air molecules. Hence sound travels faster in water than in air. When measured, the speed actually differs by as much as 5 times with water being the fastest medium.

Think of it like this. Assume you have two stacks of dominoes, one closely packed than the other but exactly the same amount of dominos, you'd notice that the stack that is more tightly arranged will be the first to topple over because it takes less time for the kinetic energy from the first domino to reach the next and on and on like that until the last domino.

Cheers

One square meter is equal to ten thousandsquare centimetres?​
Zolol [24]
So now, we can say that one square metre is equal to 10000 square centimetres. So to change 460000 square centimetres into square metres, we take our value of 460000. And we divide by 100 squared. This is the same as 460000 divided by 10000, which is 46 square metres.

object x and y fall from a same height and object x is heavier than y which object would fall faster qnd y​
hjlf

Answer: They’d fall at the same speed, because air resistance is the only thing that makes an object fall faster than another. There’s a video somewhere on the internet of a bowling ball and a feather falling at the same speed in a vacuum, if you look for it. Hope this helps!

Describe the wave motion and mechanical wave movement of a seismic P wave 20 pts
mariarad [96]

a mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. while waves can move over long distances, the movement of medium transmission-the material- is limited. again, the oscillating material does not move far away from its initial equilibrium position ;)
