Answer:

a) 20 m/s

b) 37.5 m)s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

=> (a) average speed of a car that travels 400m in 20s

= 400/20 = 20 m/s

& (b) average speed of an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes (or 4×60=240 seconds)

= 1500/240 = 37.5 m/s

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
Crank

Answer: 1000 Hz

Explanation:

You can calculate frequency by dividing velocity by wavelength

Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Find velocity first.

900 m/3 s = 300 m/s

Plug values in to find frequency.

F = (300 m/s)/0.3 m

F = 1000 Hz
