<u>STEP ONE:</u>

Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  

<u>STEP TWO:</u>

Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.

<u>STEP THREE:</u>

Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

To do this, the time it takes a sound to travel a measured distance must be recorded. Either the distance must be large (preferably over 50 metres) or the time recorded on an electronic timer (to eliminate errors due to reaction time). You should be able to describe a method of measuring the speed of sound in air.

How to measure the external diameter of a sphere
DanielleElmas [232]
Sphere is that the circular objects in the two dimensional space (1) circle
(2) disk. Two dimensional space is a set of points and the distance of that point,The two points of Sphere that length and center.
Sphere can constructed as the named of surface form circle about any diameter. circle is the special type of the revolution replacing the circle,
sphere is the distance r is the radius of the ball and circle is the center of mathematical ball,as the center and the radius of the sphere is to respectively.
The ball and sphere has not be maintained mathematical references as a solid references. A sphere of any radius is centered at the number of zero.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Best explains Jamming

Explanation:

<em>The deliberate radiation of electromagnetic (EM) energy to degrade or neutralize the radio frequency long-haul supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) communications links, best explains what?</em>

Jamming is defined as the blocking or interference with authorized wireless communications. it's a problem  in personal area network wireless technologies. Jamming can occur inadvertently due to high levels of noise .

Jammers can send radio signals to interfere or disrupt communication flows by by decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio.They use radio frequency to interfere with communications by keeping it busy.

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.
